Democracy, philosophy, architecture, drama- all great!.

But I think the most interesting one is their lasting contribution to art!. The works they created have been the highest standard for art- all "good" art is measured by how perfect is it- compared to the Greeks!. When Westerners think about great art- they often think of the Renaissance first- and that is based on Greek art!.

Many still think of the Venus de Milo as the perfect female shape, graceful, curvy and elegant!.

All eyes point to Greek art as the finest ever!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
