The ancient Greeks

The ancient Greeks were a very creative people. They lived in Greece about 2,500 years ago and built one of the most important civilisations in history. It finally ended around 1,400 years ago but not before the Greeks had changed the world.

Unlike other European people, who wanted to destroy each other, the ancient Greeks wanted to learn about and understand the world. They were interested in all kinds of things like mathematics, science, music and art, and they developed many new ideas. Some of these ideas are still used today.

Many of their greatest thinkers thought of new ways to look at the world. Socrates, for example, tried to understand how to live a good life, while his most famous student Plato wrote about how to create the perfect country and also created the first Greek university. Other historical figures, like Aristarchus of Samos, discovered that the Earth moves around the Sun which was not known until then, while men like Homer wrote amazing stories which were used to create material for schools.

Many people also admired and copied the ancient Greek way of life. The Romans, for example, copied Greek habits. This meant that Greek ideas could spread all around Europe and even the world. So, when it comes to the ancient Greeks, their way of life, their language and everything they have done, they have certainly changed the world in more ways than one.
