Classical Culture

Classical culture refers to the shared ideas, arts, philosophy, and traditions of ancient Greece and Rome that greatly influenced Western civilization. It includes contributions like democracy, philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), literature (Homer's epics), architecture (columns, temples), and art (sculptures, frescoes). This culture emphasized reason, balance, and human achievement, shaping modern ideas about government, ethics, and aesthetics. Its influence persists in education, government, arts, and sciences, providing a foundation for contemporary Western thought and institutions.
