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.
