The Greeks were one of the most fascinating and most successful cultures in the ancient world, with a rich history that spans several centuries.  The Greeks were also one of the most advanced cultures in the world, and from this cultural advancement, the Greeks were pioneers of literature, art, science, language, and philosophy.  The most common Greek costumes associated include the toga, which is a simple drape of cloth worn around the shoulder to cover much of the chest and the lower extremities.  When people think of Greek warfare, for which the civilization was also famous, often the image of the Spartan hoplite comes to mind.  Wielding a huge shield and long spear with a sword strapped at the waist, the Spartan hoplite was one of the most feared warriors in all the world.  The Spartans mastered combat and built their society around warfare, making them one of the most fascinating cultures to study.

Much of the Greek culture has translated into cultures around the world, and so much of the Greek is rooted in European culture that it’s almost impossible to distinguish one from the other.
