2. Architecture
Ancient Greek architecture is best
known from its temples, many of
which are found throughout the
region, mostly as ruins but many
substantially intact. The second
important type of building that
survives all over the Hellenic world
is the open-air theatre, with the
earliest dating from around 350
BC. Other architectural forms that
are still in evidence are the
processional gateway
(propylon), the public square
(agora) surrounded by storied
colonnade (stoa), the town
council building (bouleuterion), the
public monument, the
monumental tomb (mausoleum)
and the stadium.

3. Art
The arts of ancient Greece have
exercised an enormous influence on the
culture of many countries all over the
world, particularly in the areas of
sculpture and architecture. In the
West, the art of the Roman Empire was
largely derived from Greek models. In the
East, Alexander the Great's conquests
initiated several centuries of exchange
between Greek, Central Asian and Indian
cultures, resulting in Greco-Buddhist
art, with ramifications as far as Japan.
Following the Renaissance in Europe, the
humanist aesthetic and the high
technical standards of Greek art inspired
generations of European artists. Well into
the 19th century, the classical tradition
derived from Greece dominated the art
of the western world.

4. Mythology
Greek mythology are myths and
legends belonging to the ancient
Greeks, concerning their gods
and heroes, the nature of the
world, and the origins and
significance of their own cult and
ritual practices. They were a part
of religion in ancient Greece and
are part of religion in modern
Greece and around the world as
Hellenismos. Modern scholars
refer to, and study, the myths in
an attempt to throw light on the
religious and political institutions
of Ancient Greece, its
civilization, and to gain
understanding of the nature of
myth-making itself.

5. Historians
There were only a few
historians in the time of
Ancient Greece. Three major
ancient historians, were able
to record their time of Ancient
Greek history, that include
Herodotus, known as the
'Father of History' who
travelled to many ancient
historic sites at the
time, Thucydides and
Xenophon. Most other forms
of History knowledge and
accountability of the ancient
Greeks we know is because of
temples, sculpture, pottery, ar
te facts and other
archaeological findings.
