- oh comon kid. its easy. just start by looking at the architecture of the white house. and then maby look at Hercules the movie, and then through that transfer to how many products today contain greek goddesses (nike, for instance, or arm and hammers bakeing soda logo, ect) there literature was some of the greatest ever, and you could parilelle things like the illiad to rambo, or eaven talk about the modern remakes of the books in to shows, like obrother ware art though, or the simpsions episode on it.
- Greek influence is seen everywhere in our society. We still talk about and quote Greek people such as Herodotus, Socates, Aristotle and Homer. Some Greek ideas that we use today include: democracy, the Olympics, maths (pythagoras' theorem), plays/ dramas and rhetoric. Greek influence is also seen in popular culture; the movies Troy and 300 are based on Greek legends/ stories.
- Many English words have a Greek root, Athens (capital of Greece) was where democracy first appeared. Archimedes, Socrates, Pythagoras were Greek Philosophers and for architecture, search for Parthenon or for ancient greek temples. Oh, and Hippocrates is known as the father of medicine.
