They gave us the foundation for our government were the first democracy. They were the foundation for the alphabet-our alphabet came from the two first letters of the Greek alphabet-Alpha and Beta.

One of their doctors (who used to be a mathematician) named Hippocrates was the first person to believe that sickness came from natural causes and not the gods. By doing this he started the discovery of medicine and taught people how to recognise symptoms of illness.

They held the first ever Olympic games.
