Comparison of Christianity and Ancient Greek Culture Most Christians (or people who follow the basic principles of the Bible) believe in the stories written in the Bible. In fact, these stories are often seen not only as stories, but also as actual historical records of important people, events, and concepts of Christian religion. However, Greek and Roman myths are usually seen only as imaginary fantasy stories. The ancient Greeks believed that these stories seemed to have their religious ideas obsessed with many Bible believers.
Ancient Greece, until the rise of Christianity, was a period of nearly a thousand years in the history of Greece. Most historians regard it as the basic culture of Western civilization. Greek culture has a strong influence on the Roman Empire and the Roman Empire has brought its version to many parts of Europe. The earliest Human settlement in Greece was Crete, over 9,000 years ago, but the tools of the island can be traced back over 100,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of the ancient Greek civilization is Minos of Crete and its history dates back to 3600 BC. On the mainland, the Mycenae civilization climbed around 1600 BC and continued until about 1100 BC on behalf of the Minos civilization of Crete, leading to an era known as the age of darkness in Greece.
The architecture of ancient Greece was made by Greek speaking people and its culture flourished from 900 BC to the AD in the main Greek, Peloponnese, Peninsular Aegean islands, and Anatolia and Italian colonies. The architecture of ancient Greece in the first century is known for its formalized features, structure and decoration. Splitting official vocabulary of ancient Greek architecture, especially architectural style into three defined orders: multidimensional, ionic order and Collins order greatly influence later western architecture.
In the 2nd century BC the Romans conquered Greece and greeted a new era of Greek architecture. Roman architecture actually mixes styles of ancient Greece, Phoenician, Etruscan, but there are few influences from other cultures of the Roman Empire. In Athens in particular, there were many buildings in Roman times, there was a sculpture of a stone of a typical arch and Roman battle. For example, the Hadrians gate was built in the year 132 AD and was built to commemorate the boundary between the Old Town (Old Town) and the New Town (Roma Town). The Roman Market and the Hadrian Library are also important buildings, and the store of Atros is also the world's first shopping center.
