Gently floating on the fragrant sea, tired and tired wanderers,
Turn the rudder and sail to the other side of my hometown.
Experienced at sea, used to wandering around the world,
Helen, your beautiful face and purple-blue hair,
I was impressed by your fairy-like behavior,
Glory belongs to Greece and greatness belongs to Rome.
-To Helen edgar allan poe.
This question is not very rigorous, but the landlord's reply to other existing answers basically means to compare the cultural influence and contribution of ancient Rome and ancient Greece to later European civilization. Then I will compare my strength from the following aspects. Although ancient Greece and Rome blended with each other successively, it is difficult to analyze and judge them completely separately, but it is still possible to make a general comparison.
1. Literature:
* Ancient Greece: the absolute core Homer cooperated with Herschel, the tragic drama Trident Aeschylus, Sophocles, euripides, the comedy and drama troika aristophanes, Clattinus, O 'Pohris, supplemented by the role players Pindar, Aesop, Szimonidesz, which is definitely the standard of the Galaxy battleship.
* Ancient Rome: Cicero, the core force, Horace, Virgil, Ovid and Lucretius, the four giants of poetry, supplemented by Seneca, Catullus and Lucken.
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): Ancient Greece won a complete victory, and Homer+Hirsch (Homer's epic+works and time) basically laid the narrative and rhetorical methods of western literature. Cicero in ancient Rome also had a great influence (his influence on Latin is just like that of Lu Xun, Zhu Ziqing and Yu Dafu on vernacular Chinese), but there is still a certain gap with Homer's influence. On the whole, ancient Greece was strong in epic and drama, while ancient Rome was strong in prose and lyric poetry. However, ancient Rome was not as talented as ancient Greece, and there was a huge gap in the strength of role players. For example, the language of Aesop's fables Aesop's fables in ancient Rome and Pindar's poems must also be the main force.
2. History:
* Ancient Greece: the creator of the world: Herodotus+Thucydides, Xenophon the Almighty Demon.
* Ancient Rome: multi-core strong lineup: Tacitus, Salustro, Levi, Eusebius, Caesar, Polybius, Sotonius, Old Cato, Plutarch.
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): Ancient Rome was slightly stronger, and ancient Greece had two great fathers of historiography (Herodotus' History was the pioneering work in the history of cultural customs, Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War was the pioneering work in the political and military history), and Xenophon's expedition was basically equivalent to the lineup of the Big Three. In ancient Rome, Su Tony Osgato, the father of biographical historiography, and Li Wei, the father of historical historiography, as well as Tacitus' History, Caesar's Battle of Gaul, and Sa Louste's Rebellion of Catiline, were full of stars, deep benches and complete lineups, comparable to this year's Bull and Ross.
3. Philosophy:
* Ancient Greece: the three giants of God: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle; Prehistoric legends: Thales, Pythagoras, parmenides, Heraclitus; And others: ProTegla, democritus, empedocles, Zhi Nuo and Xenophon.
* Ancient Rome: Cross-border Cattle: Cicero, Lucretius, Neo-Platonism Plotinus, Neo-skepticism Pyrrho, Neo-Stoicism Seneca, Aurelius.
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): Ancient Greece won completely. Needless to say, ancient Greece is too powerful. Ancient Roman philosophy is basically just an extension of ancient Greek philosophy, or just a final sound.
4. Political and legal:
* Ancient Greece: Solon's Reform, Perikles's Speech, Greek City-State Democracy, Plato's Republic and Law, Aristotle's Politics.
* ancient Rome: Roman civil law, Roman civil law, ancient Rome * * * and system.
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): ancient Rome was slightly stronger. Western academic circles generally believe that the history of ancient Greek philosophy, ancient Roman law and Christian theology are the three cornerstones of western civilization and are inseparable from each other. The contribution and influence of ancient Roman law is higher than that of Greek democracy, and it is the basic knowledge at present.
5. Religion and theology:
* Ancient Greece: the ancient Greek mythology system of Olympus.
* Ancient Rome: Jupiter myth system in ancient Rome, Constantine the Great converted to Christianity, and Augustine's city of God.
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): Rome won a great victory. Rome finally accepted Christianity, developed Christianity and established the Holy See, which played a decisive role in the development of Christianity in the western world and shaped the basic form of European civilization.
6. Art:
:: Ancient Greece: architecture (Temple of Olympus, Temple of Hera and Parthenon), sculpture and carving (Statue of Athena, the goddess of fate).
* Ancient Rome: architecture (Trajan Square, memorial column, Pantheon, Maximus Arena, Arc de Triomphe), sculpture and carving (female wolf sculpture, Roman statue with ancestor's head, etc.). ), painting (Pompeii murals, mosaics).
* Strength comparison (contribution comparison): autumn color score. The art of European classical times is mainly composed of three parts: architecture, sculpture and painting. In terms of painting, Greece and Rome are not as good as Egypt, Asia Minor and the ancient countries of West Asia, and their level is low. In terms of architecture, the architectural level of ancient Rome was extremely high, which laid the architectural foundation before modern Europe; In terms of sculpture, ancient Greece was better, which laid the foundation for the European sculpture art for more than a century, so basically the two sides were equally divided.
7. Language:
* Ancient Greece: Although the Phoenicians were the first to use letters, various early ancient Greek languages spread the letters in the Semitic system to the Indo-European language family, and determined the changes of various cases and sounds at the earliest time, which was the basis of the European language and writing system.
* ancient Rome: on the one hand, continue to develop and improve the ancient Greek language; On the other hand, it laid a beautiful and perfect Latin as the foundation and source of European civilization, with far-reaching influence.
