Greek dramas and tragedies continue to be studied and performed; Pythagoras’ mathematical discoveries are still taught in schools; and the thinking of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are the basis for Western philosophy and political science today. The words “democracy” and “republic” come from these ancient Greeks.
I find it interesting how Greek theories and discoveries still affect our lives today. I think that it shows that they were incredibly smart for their time given that the mathematical discoveries they found are still being taught in school and have not been surpassed by another superior discovery.
