Architecture
Greek architecture is known for its columns. There are three types of columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Other types of Greek art includes, pottery, sculptures, and paintings. Every city state had a temple that was dedicated to a specific god. They went there to worship and make sacrifices. Some leaders like Pericles and Alexander The Great spread the Greek architecture.
We see Greek influence today in important buildings. The White House, Capital Building, Supreme Court, and The Lincoln Memorial all have columns.

Philosophy
Some philosophers in Greece were Socrates, Plato, Thales, Aristotle, and Zeno. These people tried to answer confusing questions such as who are we, what is the universe, and do we have a purpose. They wrote books such as The Republic, Meno, and Complete. They also were very advanced in mathematical skills. Even today we use mathematic skills like them.
