Philosophy for one. Athens was home to some of the greatest Greek philosophers, including the big three that every philosophy class studies today (Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle). Art was also a major contribution. As the center of learning in Greece, and for some time in the Roman Empire, Athens drew the greatest artist, architects, philosophers, writers, playwrights, etc. to study and learn, as well as teach and publish their own ideas. Probably Athens most important contribution was democracy, which gave power to the people. It spread quickly through Athenian colonies and some of her neighbors, including Rome, which created out of it the republic. Athens also built a strong navy and a decent army, which turn Greece sort of into a US Congress of sorts. One side with the conservative Spartans, the other with the more liberal Athenians. Other city-states began to gather around these super powers making them the only major threats within Greece.
