What are some of the areas of our lives that ancient Greek culture still has influence over today? This is what I have so far: Mathematics: Philosophers invented many math terms we use to day. Such as, the Pythagorean Theorem, pi, etc.

Most banks copy Greek architecture see: the parthenon
Would the alphabet be one?
I think drama would be one, too...but I'm not sure
Yeah. They had dramas and comedies. Homer's epics are still taught in high schools and colleges. The alphabet would be a really good one actually. Can't think of anything else right now

There's also the olympics. And this guy named Eratosthenes that estimated the Earth's circumference using nothing but a stick. He also created this method for finding prime numbers that is still considered somewhat efficient. This is way more detailed :D http://www.mindmeister.com/30587774/the-impact-of-ancient-greece-on-the-modern-world
