The Legacy of Greece
Science and Technology
Archimedes had created the Archimedes Screw. It was used to transfer water from low levels to irrigation ditches. People do use the screw today, but it is more modern for our needs.
Pythagorean Theorem
This theorem only works with a right triangle, a triangle that has a 90 degree angle. The length of a^2 and b^2 added together gives you c^2. Once you have that, you take the square root of c^2, which will give you the length of c. Pythagoras had founded the formula, as it is named after him.
Many constructions workers use this theorem when building walls. They need to make sure the walls are straight so the building

Architecture
There were three different types of columns used during the Hellenistic period. The Doric column was very plain and simple, with a half circle design. The Ionic column was swirls on both sides of it, a total of 4 spirals. the Corinthian column was decorative- it looks like there were leaves coming out of it and flowers in it.
The columns built in that period are inspirations for building today. The marble columns are used on modern buildings everywhere, the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington D.C., and so many other places and things!

Arts
In the Hellenistic culture, artists designed the statues to look more like an actual person. The statues pointed out the person's flaws, they made them look as an actual person. They didn't make the statues look like the perfect person, like the person you would want to see yourself as.
Statues then inspired us on how to create the statues built today. The statues look more like an actual human being, with their flaws pointed out and not looking fake. On most statues today, there is no perfect body or serene face, just someone who looks like an actual human being.
Government
Democracy
Athen's assembly, made up of male citizens, voted on important government policies that would affect the city-state
Even the poorest of civilians could serve in the government if they were elected or even chosen by a lottery.
