Ancient Greece influenced much of the modern world and other civilizations of the time. The Roman Empire would have a very different religion without the Ancient Greeks.
Other cultures were influenced by ancient Greek culture because they had established so many colonies throughout the Mediterranean Sea. Westerly at least as far as Sicily and the Southern Italian peninsula, Greek colonies came into contact with other cultures. Many of which were not as advanced as the Greeks and by this they were influenced in a positive way. Greeks also expanded into the eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea and came into contact with peoples in Syria, Judea among other nations. Their "Hellenistic" culture brought with them the great philosophers of ancient Greece and methods of government. Greek culture also became an influence because of the Roman empire. In many ways, the conquered Greeks, became a significant influence in ancient Rome. As Rome expanded, it not only brought with them Roman culture but also the Hellenistic culture of Greece.
Ancient Greece was known for its art, music, and architecture. They were also known for poetry and writing. All of these things are things that people in western culture emulate.
