I'm going to assume you're American. I'm not going to write it for you, but I'm going to give you bullet points. -Olympics: wrestling, racing, boxing, etc. -Education: Socratic method, philosophy (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle), biology (Aristotle), literature (Sophocles, Euripedes, etc.), tutors -Democracy: USA and many modern "western" countries use variations on the democratic system, but just as the Greek democracy was not a "perfect" democracy, neither is ours.
2 :
Look twards the greek coliseums, they invented the arena, look up, greecian Arena's, to find your answer, The Olympic Games, a great athletic contest, began in 776 BC. The Olympics marked a rise of the Greek culture, and the beginning of the Archaic Period of Greece. During this time period, foreign culture held a great influence over Greek ideas. Artwork began to focus on human figures and of mythology. The culture soared even higher into the Classical Period, approximately 500 BC. This was the highest point of Greek creativity especially in the areas of philosophy, art, and literature.

The Greeks influenced sports by creating the first Olympics. In ancient Greece, only men could attend the Olympics, and the winners get a Laural wreath and bring glory for his city. In modern times, anyone can watch, and the winners get rewarded with medals that are either gold, silver, or bronze. The Greeks influenced our education by creating systems of learning we still use today like the Pythagorean Theorem. The words: Mathematics and scientific are just some words that come from greece. The ancient Greeks influenced democracy in many ways. They were the first to have a democracy and allow the people rule, and in America, the country is ruled by people. The greeks used a black stone, and a white stone, and America uses ballots. In Ancient Greece, they had a direct democracy while we have a representative democracy. These are ways the Greek influences in sports, education, and democracy affect our life.

i believe you have to call verizon and call them and ask for a special sim card to put in ur phone so that it will work in Europe
2 :
I don't think Verizon is a GSM network meaning you put in a sim card. If I am wrong and it is call verizon to get your sim unlocked (meaning you will be able to use any network around the world). Upon arriving in Greece buy a sim card and minutes. If I am right about what kind of network your on then call Verizon and get an international plan so you will able to use your phone in Greece.
