Thoughts and Reflections on: Greek Gifts

The Greeks were amazing people, who were very culturally rich, civilized, and sophisticated. They were really into Arts, such as theater and music. But the thing is that they never really shared any of their gifts with anyone else other than there selfs. When we think of the Greeks, we think of people who were missionaries, people who were on a mission to civilize, and improve others. But Peter Green agues, and says that they were actually very arrogant, that they thought that they were the best. He also thought that they were very condescending, meaning that they treated nonGreeks as barbarians and children, and that they were exclusive, not allowing other people to have influence on Greece, unless they were able to read and write in Greek.
