The Greco-Roman civilization is important to our civilization because it is the basis for our western thinking, ideals, and laws.
Ancient Greece and Rome are known by several terms. They are called the Greco-Roman civilization, Classical civilization, Classical Antiquity, and probably other titles. Their literature is known as the Classics. The studying of them is known as Classical History.
The Byzantine Empire served two important functions: it acted as a crucial bridge between the East and West, facilitating trade, cultural exchange, and the spread of Christianity. Additionally, it preserved and transmitted classical knowledge and heritage from ancient Greece and Rome, which significantly influenced the Renaissance and the development of Western civilization.
Countless contributions were made by the ancient Greeks that western civilization benefits from today. These include philosophies (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle), ideas, political systems (democracy), the English alphabet, and numerous other objects that we use today.
