Answer: The Alphabet, The Olympics, Science and Mathmatics

Explanation:

Derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, the greek alphabet was the first alphabet in the western sense of the word, featuring distinct letters for vowels and consonants. It was developed after the Dark Ages and consisted of 24 letters, ordered from alpha to omega.

The Olympic Games started in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Olympia. The participants were the city-states of Ancient Greece and its colonies. The Olympic Games were held every four years in honor of Zeus, the king god. The prizes for winning were fame and glory. Statues of the winners were erected and sometimes the winners' faces were even put on coins. Today we still celebrate the Olympic Games and continue some of the old traditions, such as the olive leaf crowns, the lighting of the flame, and the opening and closing celebrations.

Along with being the birthplace of many great mathematicians, Greece was also the mother country of many famous scientists. Some of the these Mathmaticians and Scientists are: Eratosthenes, Aristarchus, Archimedes, and Hipparchus
