Ancient Greece had a very big influence on our life today. They were the people who developed the first Democracy. And they passed down the legacy of Science and Technology. If they did not do this we would not have many of the things we have today. Almost everything you see has been improved, advanced and developed in labs and have gone through the long process of Technologically Advancement. They also were a big part on olive oil.
