Ancient Greece is believed to be the basis of Western civilization. The narrative goes that Greece’s cultural legacy was passed on to Rome and then to the rest of Europe through the Roman Empire. The reality is more complex. The idea of ancient Greece as a shared cultural basis of the European Civilization is relatively recent, dating its origins to early modernity. The same is true for the concept of the West, which itself is a cultural construct created under specific historical circumstances.
