Ancient Greek society was one of the most advanced civilizations ever developed. Its important discoveries regarding astronomy, philosophy, medicine, and much more have forever changed the world known today. The contributions made toward theatre, drama, and other literary forms have altered the way in which fictional works are written currently. Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of the culture was their development of intricate architectural styles and naturalistic art forms, with an emphasis on sculptural works. It even influenced the Roman Empire in numerous ways, especially regarding its belief in specific mythological figures. This is only a piece of the puzzle with the influential nature of the Greeks. This is why, for the next few months, Antiquity will be putting a spotlight on the many characteristics of the Ancient Greek world. Everything from artistic creation to gender studies will be discussed. From everybody here at Antiquity, we hope you enjoy our new series, Glory of the Greeks.
