I think the creation of democracy is their greatest achievement, even though it was only democracy for a limited few, it was a start!.

also they created the first theatres, and the first plays!.

The Greeks in general were sports-mad, and invented competitive sport, which you may or may not consider an achievement depending on how you feel about sport!.

The influence of Athens declined in the 2nd century when the hellenisitc world produced new centres of culture, and declined further when they were conquered by Rome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
