The civilization of
ancient Greece blossomed more than 3000 years ago but it
still influences the way we live today. The people
of the region attempted to explain the world through the
laws of nature. They made important discoveries in
science. They developed democracy, where people
govern themselves rather than being ruled by a king.
The Greeks also valued beauty and imagination.
They wrote many stories and plays that continue to be
performed today. Let's not forget that the Olympic
Games began in ancient Greece.
