Modern Greece has a terrible weakness and that's a lot of maritime borders that need protecting without an enormous heartland. This means they have to spend a disproportionate amount of money on their navy compared to their neighbors for security.Their homeland was a pinnacle of power in 800 BC for a reason. Without highways, sailing on islands is the best transportation. And the city-state polis Athens pioneered with actual true democracy set a solid base for their Athenian empire.Ancient Greece and modern Greece are very different of course. I think some isolated areas of modern Greece have dialects that could understand Koine or Ionic.>what other significant things has Greece given to the World?Modern Greeks have the most realistic views about the ancient Greek world. Western scholars look at archaeological findings tested by botanists and chemists and think "they would never do that!" while their same peers that live in Greece think "they would absolutely do that."Western Scholars are always hasty to impose their own worldview on the ancient past. They are aware of this but only take cursory not of the problem instead of working backwards systematically. It's easy apparently to reconstruct ancient linguistics but difficult for the same crowd to reconstruct ancient sensibilities.
Single Minoan women walked around with their tits out. What a time to be alive.

Greece never "invented democracy", oligoi voting in tribal/civital assemblies was the norm in hundreds of different eurasian societies.
>>537167403They invented 'demokritas', the word for it. You might be correct but there is also all the written record extant about Greek democracy. There's a several other languages of that time that can be understood but not very many. Egyptian is usually the oldest in these contests.Funnily enough Athens' democracy was a fluke. Most city-states were kingships but the exceptions were evidently very notable. Plato's "Republic" might be a serious proposition. Nearby Sparta was so hard on men and so lenient on woman that when the male armies were largely defeated the women were absolutely useless for anything because they were so spoiled. It's famously mocked in "The Assemblywomen" for real events that had happened, not some hypothetical like /pol/ laughs at. Without few men to defend them, the women were recruited and the women's incompetence had enabled the sacking of Sparta. I personally cringe a little bit since I think of modern American women as these worthless spoiled assemblywomen.
