Greece was known as the Birthplace of Western Civilization (Aquino & Badilles, 2006, p.80) because its culture became the epitome for the succeeding western civilizations. The tale of the ancient Greek civilization is a painful history of foreign supremacy.
Greece had a profound influence on today's culture! Greek philosophy marked the beginning of organized Western thought. From this logic developed along with mathematics, the sciences (from biology to physics and cosmology), political theory, later on psychology, and much more. Early theories of evolution and atomic theory began in Ancient Greece. Socrates is credited with being one of the founders of Western philosophy. The influence of Ancient Greece to philosophy is so great that the English philosopher Alfred Whitehead states, with some exaggeration, Western philosophy is just a series of footnotes to Plato.
