Why is greek a great civilization?
Athens built a sort of empire through intimidating those in the Delian league into becoming their vassals, regularly paying tribute of grain.
Actually the Athenians did have an empire, it was called the 'Delian League,' established after the Persian Wars ended in 479 BC. Athens was the leader, and exacted tribute from the other members scattered around the Aegean. In effect, it was an empire, but it ended after the Peloponnesian Wars from 431-404 BC.

What did ancient Rome borrow from ancient Greece?
The ancient Greeks are well known not only for their cultural achievements but in their sailing and navigational abilities, as well as their (primarily defensive) military strength. This led them to sail to many places in the meditteranean and set up lasting settlements, places such as Turkey, Crete, North Africa, and even the island of Sicily, in Southern Italy (Syracuse).
Also the Greek alphabet was transferred and modified by way of Phoenicians (phonetics) to the Etruscans, the forerunners of the Romans in Italy, of whom the Romans borrowed and modified much culture, and in time, land (the city of Rome itself).

How did the government of oligarchy work in ancient Greece?
Oligarchy means 'rule of the few' (Monarchy = rule of one, Democracy = people power)
There were broad-based oligarchies where the propertied-class ruled, even though this was not a 'few'. There were also narrow-based oligarchies where only the richest held power.
Aristotle said that the best forms of government were monarchy, aristocracy (rule by the best people) and democracy. He went on to say that these became degraded over time monarchy -> tyranny (rule by a tyrant), aristocracy -> oligarchy, and democracy -> ochlocracy (mob rule).
What do Greeks use for transportation?

What happened to the Delian League?
Athens led the League during the latter stage of the Persian War 478 to 449 BCE, and after peace was arranged in 449 BCE, it converted the League into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the annual war funds by force, and spending the proceeds on itself, glorifying the city and putting half its citizens on the public payroll.

Houses are white washed because it keeps them cool. The houses themselves are very old and were built before modern conveniences like air-conditioning.
