Greek Cultural Contributions
Owen Manz
Architecture
We see Greek influence in architecture today in important buildings. The White House, Capital building, Supreme Court, and The Lincoln Memorial all have columns that show Greek influence.
Government
Some things that are the same today are that the US has a democracy, citizens can vote at eighteen, and that the leaders have limited terms.
Sports
Some examples of Ancient Greek sports are the Olympics, which happen every four years, track, and the fact that the good athletes were basically heroes.
Mythology
Some ways that it is reflected today are the movie Hercules, The Percy Jackson series, and that we learn about it still today.
Philosophy
Some examples of their influence today are in the math symbol pi(3.14) and the Pythagorean theorem, as well as the hippocratic oath in the medical field.
