Personally, I feel that the most important legacy of ancient Greece is the impact of Greek mythology and archetypes like the Hero's Journey on popular culture today. Even brands like Nike and Amazon take their names from Greek mythology, while movies such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Black Panther follow the Hero's Journey monomyth that originated in ancient Greek literature.

Greek art

georgegonzalez2026 — 2020-10-16 13:43:26 UTC

I feel like the most important Greek legacy is the art, whether its on pots, or sculptures that are 30 feet tall, the art is important because, most of what we know about Greece is based on their art, like how they built gods their own temples, and we found that out because of their art. We probably wouldn't know as much as we about Greece without their art.

I think the most important legacy of ancient Greece is there mathematics and astronomy.

I feel like that is the most important because the equations that they figured out are still be used today in all levels in school and college.

Greek gods/goddesses and myths

phoebesayre2026 — 2020-10-16 13:44:25 UTC

I think the most important legacy of ancient Greece is the Greek Gods/Goddesses and there myths because this how the Greeks thought the world and people came into existence by all these powerful beings plus it is also kind of part of their culture beings that they worshipped these gods/goddesses and built temples for them.

Greek Gods and arts

emilybusker2026 — 2020-10-16 13:49:09 UTC

I think the most important legacy would have to be the Gods themselves. People worshipped them and most of the time devoted their lives to them. The people did all these crazy things for the Gods and it would make sense for that to be the most important legacy. Well in my opinion at least. Also the arts seemed like a very bog deal. We wouldn't know a lot of the things we know about the Greeks if we didn't have these beautiful pieces of art to look back on.

The advancements

yared_girum_2026 — 2020-10-16 13:51:23 UTC

I think that the philosophical, mathematical, architectural, and solar advancements are the most important because they inspired modern day technologies and advancements. Without them, we couldn't have found everything we know.w

Greek gods

I think that the most important legacy would be the gods. I think this because the people would build huge statues for them. They also would devote their lives to them. they would have pottery of them, statues of them, and have festivals for them. And would spend tons of money making/ doing these things.

Mathematics and universe

elizabethkilley2026 — 2020-10-16 18:25:56 UTC

I think that the most important legacy of ancient Greece is the mathematics. The basis of geometry would not be the way it is if not for the Greeks. Neither would what we know about the universe. While most things have been modified, their studies gave us something to move off of. They made a lot of advancements in mathematics and astronomy areas.

Astronomy

andrewthomas2026 — 2020-10-17 16:59:01 UTC

I, personally, think that astronomy is the most important thing that came from ancient Greece. I think that is true because one day, a future generation will colonize the solar system, possibly, using the power from the sun to power spacecraft, and all of this needs the knowledge of the planets and the stars, thus tying into astronomy. If we only today learned all of our knowledge of space, and hadn't sent anything into space, we would be set back a whole while. Ancient Greeks decided to study the stars, and now we do the same thing.

Art

I'm just going to start by saying that we wouldn't know much about Ancient Greece if it wasn't for their art. Their pottery tell us about their daily lives were in city-states like Athens. Yes, most of their pots and sculptures were to honor the gods but we wouldn't know if they believed in gods if it wasn't for their art.

Science

andrewsiddell2026 — 2020-10-18 13:19:02 UTC

I feel like the scientific discovery's at that time were astronomical, with the fact of being able to measure the earths circumference. Also, with the advancements like the pulley system, its really amazing.

The Gods & Myths

Zeolus — 2020-10-18 17:10:19 UTC

I think the gods are the most important thing about Greece because The Greeks would use their myths to explain why things were the way they were using elaborate stories about the gods and goddesses. The Greeks created myths to explain such things as the creation of the world and of human beings. Many myths described the gods and goddesses and how they related to one another and to humans. For example, the myth of Prometheus tells how he stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. Zeus punished him for this by chaining him to a rock. Every day, an eagle ate his liver, which grew back every night. Today, Prometheus is seen as a hero who defied unjust authority.

I think art is the most important legacy because a lot of what we know about Greece, is from their art. They made sculptures of their gods, which is very important to them. We wouldn't know basically anything without their art.

Sports

sradaacharya2026 — 2020-10-18 22:04:00 UTC

I think sports is one of the most important legacies of ancient Greece because the Olympics today is one of the most sports events today and is based off of ancient Greece.

Science and Technology

cadeneck2026 — 2020-10-18 23:04:44 UTC

I think that Science and Technology is the most important legacies of Ancient Greece because of those past HUGE advancements now let us in the present to learn and create more advanced work. For example, Archimedes ideas for pulleys and more eventually in the future helped make steam engines which enhanced travel a whole lot. Also, with Euclid them figuring out all of that geometry math work and writing it down as textbooks for hundreds of years helped people learn and helped on the basis of geometry.

I feel like art is the most important because most of the history and knowledge we have is known from their ancient arts.

Myths and Gods

reader_of_chaos — 2020-10-18 23:30:13 UTC

I believe that the Myths are the most important. They were how people from Greece understood the world, and how the formed their culture. It was how they lived, and wrote Stories that have Morals. It was something that most others didn't even think about, and it's what makes Greece, Greece.

Science, Math, and Technology

ilyasali2026 — 2020-10-18 23:53:39 UTC

I think that Science, Math, and Technology is the most important legacy of the ancient Greeks. The Ancient Greeks made many things we use today, and they help us a lot. Most of them have made our lives better and easier. We can improve upon their theories, ideas, and creations to make even better and improved inventions to make our lives and the world better.

History

marianeabbey2026 — 2020-10-19 04:54:05 UTC

I think History is the most important because it gives us a understanding of events that had a big effect on the world today. It also teaches us how getting our information from first had experience or primary sources can help us have a more clear vison of what really happened back then.

City-States and gods

steveshears2026 — 2020-10-19 11:26:30 UTC

I think that the city-states and there gods are important because it is important to have your own believes and as each "tribe" they believe in there own god. Athena is there city-states god.

I think art is the most important legacy because it is how we know so much about Ancient Greece.

Gods and Myths

nanamensah2026 — 2020-10-20 11:34:06 UTC

Personally, I feel that myths and gods are the most important legacy because it let's us know more about what Ancient Greece though and what their culture was. It also allows us to understand why people in Ancient Greece lived the way they lived. I also think it's most important because the stories about the gods told the people in Ancient Greece why things like fire and rivers came to be.

Science and technology

2020-12-18 14:54:49 UTC

In my opinion, I believe that science and technology is the most important legacy. I would say art, since it gave us the most important information on them, but without mathematics, we wouldn't get to where we are today. In this question, it states to answer whichever is most important to you. This isn't just important to me, it's important to all mankind. Without Euclid, we wouldn't have the basics of geometry. Philosophy is also important too!
