Ancient Greece is the cradle of western civilization and a symbol of human wisdom. The ancient Greek culture is the origin of western culture, which is famous in the world for its unique style and outstanding achievement. The ancient Greek culture yields unusually brilliant results in many aspects such as literature, art, philosophy, religious myth, political science and natural science, or even called by western scholars as classical culture. Why the ancient Greek culture has a prominent place in the world culture is that the ancient Greek culture has created countless cultural achievements in the process of its historical development and reaches a peak of human civilization. As Engels once remarked, "Without Greek culture and foundation of the Roman empire, there would be no modern Europe."

Western scholars have recognized the influences of ancient Greek civilization on western modern concept of freedom and equality, democratic system and scientific spirits. And the influence upon the western civilization by ancient Greek civilization is far more than that. First from its preliminary influence, a large number of vocabulary given by the old Greek and Latin as well as the meaning and concepts reflected by these words, are the most obvious parts of ancient civilization legacy. Second, when words and texts come out, in return it causes strong influence on every aspect of social life, particularly in literature.
