Hey guys, I was absent from school yesterday and I need to know some ideas or beliefs the U.S took from Greece.

Just from my knowledge, I know we took the alphabet from Rome who took it from greece, and we took Columns, like a building column.

I need a few more. Do you guys know anymore. I heard pizza, but wasn't sure.

greeks were big into science and philosphy..

One thing you could say is geometry, They had the golden rule or whatever thing down years ago.

yes like he said, "The Elements" was a famous geometry book written by the Greeks around 200 B.C. From this book, the approximate size of the earth was found. We also learned that the planets revolve around the sun.

Our class just finished the chapter on Greece.
