Greek thought, thanks to the Greek philosophers, is still prevalent in our modern day civilization. Not only did these philosophers forever change and shape the way that we view the world around us, but several of them had such outstanding ideas which are now considered the precursors of modern science. Democritus (the "laughing philosopher"), for example, came up with the idea of atoms to explain what made up the soul, and he decided that these things were pieces of matter impossible to destroy. We are also still taught the works of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and many others.
The muses where 9 minor greek goddesses who were all about the performing arts. So some of todays famous singers, dancers,actresses, and writers would be like the muses. People like beyonce, J.K.Rowling, Ann Hathaway, and Sabrina Bryan would be like todays muses. Maybe even Ellen Degeneres!(there was a muse for comedy, Thalia)
Ancient Greeks gave their citizens a right to vote.

Olympia, Greece is the birth place for the Olympics in 776BC. It's were the tradition all started
The ancient Greek Olympic Games, like today's Olympics, celebrated athletic excellence and fostered a sense of unity among competing city-states. Both featured a variety of sports, including running, wrestling, and boxing, and emphasized the importance of physical fitness and competition. Additionally, both events were held in a festive atmosphere, attracting spectators and honoring victors with prizes and accolades. However, while ancient games were primarily religious festivals held in honor of Zeus, modern Olympics emphasize global participation and sportsmanship.
well, I know that the sports they played in Greece influenced todays Olympics.
