No, it was the other way around. The Romans borrowed from the Greeks. They modified the Greek form of democracy, they borrowed the Greeks' medical knowledge and improved on it, and they borrowed the Greek form of rhetoric. But don't get the idea that the Romans were mere "copy cats". They were unique among ancient people in their ability to absorb and in some cases improve, the positive aspects of the conquered people and put their own "Roman" stamp on them.

to a certain extent but Roman culture was also heavily based on the Etruscans. Also it is important to remember that Virgil dis write a story, the Aeneid, about how refugee Trojans escaped to Italy and founded Rome. If this is based on any fact than Romans might have helped create Greek culture
