| the founding fathers were extremely conscious of Greek politics. designers of public buildings in the US hate dutifully copied Greek models, seen in the Lincoln Memorial and most state capitals. Plato and Aristotle are thought of as the founders of philosophy seen today, and skillful teachers still rely on the Socratic method. The Iliad is seen as the foundation of Western literature. Greek history past has been a part of the standard Western education to see these links to our world today. |
