GREEK CULTURE |
|
| The Culture of Greece has evolved over thousands of years, with its beginnings in the Mycenean and Minoan Civilizations, continuing most notably into Classical Greece, through the influence of the Roman Empire and its Greek Eastern successor the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Empire too had a significant influence on Greek Culture, but the Greek war of independence is credited with revitalizing Greece and giving birth to a single entity of its multi-faceted culture throughout the ages. |
|
 Greece is often referred to as "The Cradle of Western Culture" and ancient Athens was considered its centre. The Parthenon in itsAcropolis is an enduring symbol of Greek culture. |
