Greek Cultural Contributions
Brendon Bidlack
Architecture
We see Greek influences in architecture today in important buildings. The White House , Capital Building, Supreme Court, and the Lincoln Memorial all have columns that show Greek influences.
Government
We see Greek influences still today. They had term limits and we still do today. Some presidents run more than once and some get it. We have a democracy still today. Back then everyone can vote on the law, today Only the house of representatives can vote on it.
Mythology
We still study Greece today. We still see Greek all around us. The Percy Jackson book series and the movie Hercules have Greek influences in them.
Philosophy
Doctors still use the Hippocratic Oath. We study geometry, and use lots of the same math skills today.
Sports
We still have the Olympic games today and we have most of the events today too. We have horse racing at fairs also.
