Greek thought, thanks to the Greek philosophers, is still prevalent in our modern day civilization. Not only did these philosophers forever change and shape the way that we view the world around us, but several of them had such outstanding ideas which are now considered the precursors of modern science. Democritus (the "laughing philosopher"), for example, came up with the idea of atoms to explain what made up the soul, and he decided that these things were pieces of matter impossible to destroy. We are also still taught the works of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and many others.
The muses where 9 minor greek goddesses who were all about the performing arts. So some of todays famous singers, dancers,actresses, and writers would be like the muses. People like beyonce, J.K.Rowling, Ann Hathaway, and Sabrina Bryan would be like todays muses. Maybe even Ellen Degeneres!(there was a muse for comedy, Thalia)
Ancient Greeks gave their citizens a right to vote.

Some would also argue that modern ideas about beauty are directly attributable to ancient Greek sculpture and the Greeks idealization of the human body.
The Greeks are one of the oldest civilizations. The Greeks started around 500 B.C. The Greeks also started the first democracy, wich is very important in todays world.
