Ancient Greece

The Greek letters (Greek Alphabet) have been used to write the Greek language since the late 10th century BC or early 9th century BC. It was derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, and was the first alphabetic script to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants.

The Greeks were known for their rational and analytical approach to the world, and many of their ideas and theories still inform contemporary thought.

Education was highly valued in Ancient Greece with boys receiving formal education from age 7 onwards while girls received informal education at home.

Philosophy was an integral part of education with philosophers teaching ethics, politics, and metaphysics among other subjects.

Science is another aspect that contributed greatly to the advancement of Ancient Greek civilization; perhaps one of its most notable contributions is Archimedes’ law on buoyancy which is still applicable today.

Science flourished during Ancient Greece with scholars like Archimedes making significant contributions to mathematics and physics.

Medicine also advanced with Hippocrates introducing ethical standards for doctors.
