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 Early Modern Age is generally considered to have begun in the late 15th century and ended in the late 18th century. This period is sometimes referred to as the "Age of Discovery" because of the many technological and geographical advancements that were made during this time.
During the Early Modern Age, Europe experienced a number of significant changes. The most significant of these was the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual achievement that began in Italy in the 14th century and spread throughout Europe over the next two centuries. The Renaissance saw a renewed interest in classical learning and the arts, and was a time of great scientific advancement.
Another significant change during the Early Modern Age was the Protestant Reformation, a religious movement that began in the 16th century and had a profound impact on Europe. The Reformation led to the splitting of the Catholic Church, and to the rise of Protestantism as a major force in Europe.
The Early Modern Age was also a time of great political change. The most significant event was the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and ended in 1799.

Greece was influenced in many ways. For one, the trade of ancient civilization passed almost directly through Greece from every country, from Asia minor, to greater Europe, Egypt and even down into the Islamic states in Africa. One of the easiest and quickest ways to travel was by sea, and so that made Greece the centerfold of ancient Ocean Commerce- they were helped in gaining wheat, silver, and lead among many other things. They also set up a small taxation method when you docked at their ports-- take, for instance, the port at Piraeus, where a Captain had to, eventually, give a total of 33 talents in order to port.
This is just one small, short answer that can be given on this subject.

The ancient Greeks gave us the alphabet, architecture, medicine, drama.
Thucydides (c. 460 B.C. - c. 395 B.C.) (Greek Θουκυδίδης, Thoukydídēs) was a Greek historian and author of the History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounts the 5th century B.C. war between Sparta and Athens to the year 411 B.C. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" due to his strict standards of evidence-gathering and analysis in terms of cause and effect without reference to intervention by the gods, as outlined in his introduction to his work.[1] He has also been called the father of the school of political realism, which views the relations between nations as based on might rather than right.[2] His classical text is still studied at advanced military colleges worldwide, and the Melian dialogue remains a seminal work of international relations theory. More generally, Thucydides showed an interest in developing an understanding of human nature to explain behaviour in such crises as plague, genocide (as practised against the Melians), and civil war.

Did ancient Greek use the crossbow?
The bow and arrow have been in use for over 60,000 years. Stone points which have been identified as arrowheads were being used in Africa around 60,000 years ago. By 16,000 BC flint points were being bound by sinews to split shafts. Fletching was being practiced, with feathers glued and bound to shafts.
The first actual bow fragments found were the Stellmoor bows from northern Germany. They were dated to about 8,000 BC but were destroyed in Hamburg during the Second World War. They were destroyed before Carbon 14 dating was invented and their age was attributed by archaeological association. The second oldest bow fragments are the elm Holmegaard bows from Denmark which were dated to 6,000 BC. High performance wooden bows are currently made following the Holmegaard design.
Around 3,300 BC Similian man (affectionately named Ötzi) was shot through the lung near the present-day border between Austria and Italy and was mummified by ice and the extreme cold. Among his preserved possessions were bone and flint tipped arrows and an unfinished yew longbow 1.82 m (72 in) tall.
Classical civilizations fielded large numbers of archers in their armies; archery was an important military and hunting skill before the use of gunpowder. Arrows were especially destructive against unarmoured masses and the use of archers often proved decisive. Mounted archers combined range with speed and mobility. Archery also figured prominently in the mythologies of many cultures.
In ancient Greece, the Cretans practiced archery and Cretan mercenary archers were in great demand. Crete was known for its unbroken tradition of archery. The Greek god Apollo is the god of archery, also of plague and the sun, metaphorically perceived as shooting invisible arrows, Artemis the goddess of wild places and hunting. Odysseus and other mythological figures such as Eros, the god of love, are often depicted with a bow. During the his invasion of India, Alexander the Great personally took command of the shield-bearing guards, foot-companions, archers, Agrianians and horse-javelin-men and led them against the Kamboja clans, the Aspasios of the Kunar valleys, the Guraeans of the Guraeus (Panjkora) valley, and the Assakenois of the Swat and Buner valleys.

How long did ancient Athenian soldiers serve?
The Greek military age was 18 to 60, all of whom were required to turn out in defence of their city. Generally, the age for expeditionary forces was 20 to 45. They were called out as required (and had to turn up with three days rations) and served until the battle or campaign was over, when they returned to their normal occupations, attending periodic training drills.
This applied to people in the cavalry and hoplite (armoured warrior) classes. Those below this were coopted as required as light infantry with bows, javelins and rocks. Later, mercenaries progressively replaced the militias where a leader, city or confederation could afford to pay them.
