Classic literature gives the reader a foundation for references in other work and literature. Often a writer alludes to a classic work within a piece of writing and without knowing the book the reader misses the meaning of the author. References to classics is often used in standardized testing and reading the classics also provides the reader with a cultural references. Many products today use classic symbols, names, and terms to sell their product. A good example of this is Nike. Nike is a goddess in classic Greek myth and there is a reason why it is used on their shoes, but without knowing about the myth the whole meaning is lost.
