Greek culture was not spread throughout the world. It did not go to the continents of North America, South America, most of Africa, Australia and eastern Asia other than as a very late adoption of a very limited influence in architecture and literature.

It spread through the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals as overpopulated ancient Greek city-states sent off their surplus populations to seize new land and establish their own city-states, resulting in over 2,000 cities. Then Alexander the great attempted to impose it on the Persian Empire, curtailed by his early death. It left a veneer of Greek culture amongst the upper class of Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
