The ancient Greeks were the people of Greece and who migrated from Greece to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Crete, Asia Minor, Sicily, and especially Southern Italy, where they carried on Greek culture. They spoke a language that was, and is, its own branch of the Indo-European Languages. They were important in the development of politics, law, philosophy, mathematics, and a host of other intellectual pursuits. They were profoundly influential on European culture.
