It has been said that “the foundations of Western civilization (American culture, in particular) rest firmly on the bedrock of classicism” (the ideals, ideas, styles, and accomplishments of ancient Greece).
Prove that quote by showing the profound influence of the Greeks on our society in these areas:
Government
Architecture
Art
Literature
Philosophy
Pop Culture/Advertising (Greek characters and mythology referenced in books, movies, TV shows, toys, games, and ads)
Provide explanations in sentence form and offer specific examples in each category. For instance, when discussing literature or philosophy, include the names of those most important to those fields and provide the titles of literature and the contributions of the philosophers.
Please conclude with acknowledging your sources of information.
