Above is a Prezi about the mathematician, Euclid.
Impact on Modern World
Some people, including Euclid, left an impact on our world today. Euclid created the 13 "Elements" which helped us greatly in math. His idea had spread through because of his writing and books. Another important person is Pythagoras. He created the Pythagorean theorem that we still use today to calculate the right angle on a triangle. Also, Myron created animal like sculptures and that gave us the idea of creating different types of pottery.
Above is the Legacies in Ancient Greece.
Greek Arts
Greek arts impacted our modern world because the taught us to create bowls, cup, and vases to put food and flowers in. They also impacted our modern world because they gave us the idea to put detail and design into our pottery.
Greek Literature and Philosophy
Greek literature and philosophy impacted our modern world by giving us the idea of an alphabet. The Greeks have an alphabet, and so does the United States. Also, there literature and books educated readers and was very entertaining also. The Ancient Greeks literature was a very good resource to find out about them in the past.
Greek Warfare
Greek warfare impacted our modern world by giving us the idea of creating new types of weapons including shields and swords. Warfare helped us in battle back then, and now. If we didn't have the idea of armor back then, we would have a hard time fighting with nothing to protect the soldiers.
Greek Engineering
Greek engineering impacted our modern world by creating clocks and calendars that helped us tell time and to know what day it is. The Greek engineering also impacted the modern world by creating medicines that helped heal the ones who were ill. Another impact is that they created maps that showed us the globe.
Greek Architecture
Greek architecture impacted our world today because when the Ancient Greeks created buildings, they used 3 different types of columns, which include; Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian. Still today we use the idea of the columns. Also, Greek architecture impacted our world today because the Ancient Greeks created balconies on the sides of buildings, and we too still use balconies on our buildings today.
Greek Sports
Greek sports impacted our modern world today because back in Ancient Greece, the Greeks loved to win and compete against each other, so they created the Olympics. The Olympics still go on today, but however, not for the same reason. Back then, it was to honor the god, Zeus. Now it's for the win and prizes.
