Why do we study ancient
Greek civilization?
People have been studying the Greeks for so long that
we have learned to see them in many different ways.
Some people see the Greeks as the beginning of
Western Civilization: if you want to take this approach,
you might teach about how the Greeks invented the
geometrical proof, the scientific method, the writing of
history and plays. You might also mention how much
our literature owes to Greek mythology, our civic
architecture to the Greek temple, our churches to the
Greek basilica, and our theaters to the Greek theater.
Some people see the Greeks as very much like us; if you
want to show them that way you'd talk about their
democratic government, their court system, and their
poetry.
