Why is the culture of Ancient

Greece
Ancientexample
Greece was a country
with the
best many
poets, philosophers,
carvers, architects,
an
that
so
admire

painters. It has affected today's art. In many countries are used their style and architecture and
their monuments are in the good condition till these days. They are visited by tourists from the
whole world. By the beginning of the Ancient Greece their culture has been improving for the
whole period of it and now every nation admire it and want to copy it.
Like Pierre Bonnard said "Work of art - stopped time," it is not important how old any relic is,
the most important thing is how it excite people. The increasing of culture lasts for a full period of
an ancient Greece. One of the best poets from the ancient Greece was Homer. He 's written the
poems which are called The Iliad an The Odyssey. The Iliad was supposed to describe expedition to
conquer the Troy and The Odyssey was about Odyssey and his twenty years trip home. The best
philosophers were from Greece too whose theories has helped to today's math or physic , for
example Pythagoras, Plato, Thales or one of the heroes from the Bible Salomon.
The quality of a Greek architects can be seen in nowaday era. They were building them for
their kings or monarchs. They have invented lot of types of building, or different orders.
Corinthian, Dorian, Ionic are used on today buildings too. The work of a Greek carvers is in really
good condition. They were carving just because they want to earn some money, and now their
articles are one of the best preserved relique. Ancient Greece sculpture was one of the most
precious art that they were making. The Discobolus is kind of Kalokagathia. They were used to
depict the battles, mythology, and rulers of the land known as Ancient Greece.
Greeks and their architecture were unique in so many ways. They were building palaces like in
Knossos, or temples like The Peripheral Temple. The statues and the monuments are very known
till these days. By means of the Hellenistic Greece and the caesarian Rome were these traditions
kept and now are these monuments part of a culture inheritance of all humanity on the Earth.
They are not just the things of day expenditure, art works, architecture, but political ideals, ideas
of democration, humanity of the all people also.
A mentality of Greeks was at the high level. The Hellenistic period was the most important
for expansion of the science. They has been making pharmaceutic experiments on the people who
has been liffered. As first nation they invented drug as a pain relieve. Greece nation had organized
Olympic Games as the first. It took place every five or four years as celebrating and glorify the god
at the Peloponnese. Every sportsman could and want to participate on them. It began with lighting
a flame on a big torch. At the begining it took place in a Greece, than it has spread out to the
whole place on the Earth, but now it is just a commercial think and this competition is losing spirit
of real sport. Theatre was based on the dialogue of two actors. With time, more actors have
joined. The place where it took place was called Amphitheatre. It had a good acoustic and from
every place it could be heard really good. Greeks were worship nations. They believed in many
gods Zeus as a head of the all gods, Poseidon as a god of a water, Hera wife of Zeus etc. They
trembled them and hallowed them. Greek society was fated by them. They though that every
disastrous or just everything which happened had create god.
In my opinion the culture of the Ancient Greece is admired and copied, because as I has
mentioned before, they were really educated and supertemporal nation with a big influence for
medicine and has became an inspiration not just in architecture for the next evolution stages of
humanity.
