Architectual designs

The first known democracy was created in Greece and gave political power to the citizens. This culture has continued, and the power to elect continues to be held by the people of the modern world. In terms of sports, Greece hosted the very first Olympic Games, which is still held today every four years. Many of the sports found in the modern day Olympics closely resemble those competed in at the first Olympics. Not only did the Greeks provide the Olympics but they also had a wide range of philosophies. Their philosophies and theories have helped to shape generation after generation. The Greeks also made gigantic leaps in the fields of math science, and medicine, some of their ideas still hold true today. Lastly, architectural style is a big thing that Greece gave to the modern world. Many designs based off of ancient Greek architect are still used today.
