Greek civilization
Athenian and Spartan
Greek civilization refers to the culture, political systems, and intellectual achievements of the ancient Greeks, flourishing from roughly the 8th century BCE through the Roman conquest.
It produced foundational developments in philosophy, democracy, drama, mathematics, and the arts that shaped Western thought.
Greek civilization gave us the concept of citizenship.
The term encompasses city-states like Athens and Sparta, the conquests of Alexander, and the Hellenistic world that followed.
