Did the Greeks or Romans influence architecture such as the dome shape?
The main Greek influence has come through the way it influenced Roman architecture. Much of Renaissance architecture was influenced by Roman architecture. Brunelleschi, the great early Renaissance architect went to Rome to study Roman buildings. A big influence was the discovery of De Architecta, a text book on (Roman) architecture by Vitruvius, a Roman architect and engineer. Palladium was the father of the Palladian style which became very popular in Britain, which was based on the roman mansion. The neo-classical style was based on gthe Graeco-roman style. The dome was a great Roman achievement The Pantheon and the Hagia Sophia have been regarded as yardsticks for later domes.

The term renaissance means rebirth and refers to the rebirth of interests in the classics (the Romans and the Greeks) which started in Italy in the 14th century and then spread around Europe. The use of Roman models for architecture was further stimulated by the rediscovery of a textbook of Roman architecture by an ancient Roman architect, Vitruvius.
