The ancient Greek civilization(古希腊文明)
古希腊位于地中海东北部。历史表明，克里特的征服者、特洛伊城的毁灭者——迈锡尼人，是希腊最早的居民之一。但是古希腊文明的源头是爱琴文明,多年后爱琴人有了辉煌的米诺斯与迈锡尼文化。随后便产生了璀璨的希腊文明。

希腊的神话故事，内容非常丰富生动，它是人类在童年时代充满天真纯朴、活泼浪漫的想象的结果，表现了古希腊人渴望了解自然、征服自然的美好愿望和顽强意志。例如，有许多像普罗米修斯这样造福人类的伟大的神。普罗米修斯把天火盗到人间，使人类有了划时代的进步。希腊神话给古希腊人带来了多神崇拜,也带来了具有积极因素的共同信仰。神话传说不但作为原始文化遗产被希腊人继承，而且极大地影响了后来希腊文化的兴盛。

近代，科学的发展也需要希腊文化的浇灌。天文学的星座，高等数学的希腊符号等等，英文中大量借用希腊文来描绘科学现象，像仙女座一词的希腊文是安得洛玛达，意为仙女，是希腊神话中的国王的女儿。Modern, scientific development also needs the Greek culture water.
