I think Greece’s greatest legacy was math and geometry. Geometry was a great accomplishment because it is used allover the world. Math is good because math is everywhere you go and because it helps in money, jobs, and when you are buying things. Math is good for the mind and it is vey important in school and in a job.

I think the greatest legacy of Greece is that they are the founders for the alphabets. Firstly with no alphabets we would not be able to write anything at all. Secondly with no alphabets we would not be able to speak since there are no alphabets. Finally the World would not be able to communicate. That’s why alphabets is the Greece greatest legacy.

Greece’s greatest legacy was the Olympics. The Olympics was Greece’s greatest legacy because it means so much to the world. The Olympics are a group of sports that comes every four years and last for days. Every country in the world is invited to take part in the games. The top three winners get medals. The third place winner gets a bronze medal. The second place winner gets a silver medal. The first place winner gets a gold medal. The Olympics are very big and competitive to people all over the world. That is why I think when Greece gave the world the Olympics , it left a big impact.

I think Greece greatest legacy is theater because they had a lot of smart ideas like having the rows go up so everybody can hear and watch. They had effects to make it seem like they can fly. They also did different backgrounds so the actors could change to different scenery. That’s why I think Greece greatest legacy is theater.

Greec'es greatest legacy is Alexander the great's legacy he left behind for futur leaders. Future leaders learned from the tactics and the stragety Alexander used. This lead Greece into becoming a strong stable state.

I think Greece’s greatest legacy was geography. Think about it though if it wasn’t for the Greeks brilliant minds who else would have done it. Especially because the only reason why Greek was figuring this out was because there was no war. The Greece’s legacy probably inspired many people to travel and learn about other places in the world. For example, the England probably set up their plans for discovering a new world by using the Greece method of longitude and latitude.

I think Greece’s greatest legacy is there contributions to modern sports. I say this because the Greeks created the Olympics. Thousands of people from all around the world compete in them and millions of people watch them every year they are on. This sports event was created thousand of years ago and is still going strong today. Also the Greeks got the whole world to co me together to compete against each other. Too me that is a really big accomplishment and the fact that it is still going strong today is even a bigger one.

The Greece greatest legacy of Greece is for giving us the trial by jury. With out trial by jury people wouldn’t be able to give their opinions on things like voting would’ve never token place. People would have not been able to have opportunities like for specific things. Like for example lets say you are texting while driving you would have to go to trial by jury and there they tell you your opportunities you have to make up for that like community service or just pay a ticket or more.

I think Greece's greatest legacy is grammer and punctuation. I think that's the greatest legacy becuase if we didn't have grammer it wouldn't be approperiate. If we didn't have punctuation our writing would be out of place. Our writing wouldn't make sense.

I think Greece’s greatest legacy is doing so many things and now is a good thing for our modern world today. Like for example when they want to go see a play or a movie there rows were going up. Now for us they go up. Before they use to have Olympics. Now we have them for all over the world.

Greece’s greatest legacy is mathematics because without that legacy we would not any anything. We need math (geometry) for geography so we know how long latitude, longitude, and the equator is. But also to know how long it would take to travel from place to place (distance). Also for understanding plants. To know how much water we should give to plants. Or how much plants we need to use to make something out of it. We also need math to know how long sport players need to throw or kick an object. But the last reason is to pay for our taxes. If we didn’t know to pay tax we would in jail or get a fine. That is why math is Greece’s greatest legacy.

I think Greece’s greatest legacy was the Greek contribution to Modern Mathematics because without Mathematics, they would not know how to find the distances from the Earth to the Sun, latitude and longitude. That’s why I say Greece’s greatest legacy was Greek Contributions to Modern Mathematics.
