'What does ancient Greece have to do with me, you ask?

Heaps.

First, when we learn about other cultures, we learn about ourselves.

Second, our society is greatly influenced by ancient Greece, Athens in particular. Our theatre, politics, and educational theories are all descendents of the Athenian systems.

If you've always thought that the way you do things is the way everyone has always done them, you're in for a surprise, because they didn't. At the same time, you might also be surprised that people who lived 2,500 years ago are a lot like you.'
