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.

Many of historyâs most influential philosophers, historians, dramatists, and statesman lived in Athens and other Greek city-states within a period of just three or four generations.
