What's the best thing to come out of Greece?


What's the best thing to come out of Greece?

Touzours.
:-)

By far the most educated and intelligent answer. I learned something new today........and I am speechless too.... Report It

Probably Western Civilization.

John Travolta?

GYROS. and hott guys.........

Hairy men...... LOL

SPARTA!!!

Gyros LOL.

A couple of people you may have heard of:- Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Alexander the Great, just to name but a tiny few.

Greece is steeped in history, they were responsible for many inventions and innovations, culturally, mathematically, mythologically (if that's a word), architecturally, scientifically, and on and on. And in modern times my favourite is gastronomically.

Way too many things to pick "the best", you should google ancient Greece, famous Greeks, Greek culture, that sort of stuff. There's a bit on Wikipedia too.

Jokingly I would say souvaliki, feta and kalamta olives :)

Seriously though they are an amazing and very capable race dating back over 3500 years, so it might take a while to find the "best" one thing.

Good luck.
p.s. no I'm not Greek :)

Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization. Which country can compete with that??

Feta Cheese....

athens

& HOMER! Duh-OH!

I'd say the scientific method -testing assumptions against observable facts

EVERYTHING IN TODAYS SOCIETY IS GREEK!!!!! everyone has taken greek ideas. we made democracy and everything else. we rocked at science and math.....and all of the biggest philosophers and poets and historians were all greeks. over 70% of the english language is greek!!!!!!!!
GREEKS FOREVER=] ELLADA SAGAPO<3333

For me personally - my children .... for the world - the sciences/civilisation - where would we be without the great philosophers?

btw English language is NOT made up of 70% Greek words ... (you sound like that guy from Big Fat Greek Wedding!) 5% of English is taken directly from Greek and a further 25% is taken indirectly ...e.g We take the word olive from the Roman word - which was originally taken from Greek by the Romans.

I think is the Greeks themselves.
They are funny, intelligent, passionate, along with feisty, independent and free spirits. They survived invasions, monarchies, juntas, socialism, democracy and EU.
They experienced earthquakes, fires,floods and severe drought.
Yet, are still standing strong, resilient ,stoic, industrious.
Which proves again to all: Ellines enwmenoi, pote nikimenoi {Greeks united (are)never defeated}.
So among all good things that came out of Greece as the above answerers mentioned, the first prize goes to the people, since Greeks made what this country is all about.
And that's my final answer :)

The Elgin Marbles?

Except ancient history and top philosophers for thousends of years b.c., Greece is the last frontier of authenticity.

Sakis Rouvas

Tatziki sauce! I was addicted to it major league when I was pregnant and everything healthy such as veggies had to be dipped, smothered, layered (etc) in it.......

Can't stand the stuff now mind you, ate way too much of it and the very smell of it sends me running in the opposite direction

Our civilisation, our language and our way of life!

Tzaziki Sauce and that's pretty much it
