What did the ancient greeks contribute to the western civilization ?
Aside from the perverted answer of before, the Greeks were very wise in architecture and and learning. They are the ones who started the “friendly” rival games of the Olympics. They set up schools and a basic understanding of the lands and mapping. Public speaking and orators. As far as art goes many ancient grecian urns and scultures are still donned around the world. The great aquaducts and the premise of indoor plumbing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Gre… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_… http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_7615… http://workmall.com/wfb2001/greece/greec…
