Greek mytholigy has influenced today's society in many ways. Their stories have been passed down from generation to generation. Over time we have found explanations for things, but the stories are still fun to hear. Many of our planets, stars, and constellations are named after Greek gods or heroes.

They affect us today because if the greeks didn't make the word Nike then we probibly wouldn't have the store Nike. Think about what 60% of the kids in the middle school wear. NIKE! We also get tiny parts of the alphabet from the greeks and if we didn't have those little things the alphabet would be different. We also would not know as much about the planets and constellations if the greeks wouldn't have studied them so much andrecorded it all.

Greek Mythology has influenced today's society because company's and businesses have used god's and goddesses names for their logo, company name, or for their brands. They didn't use just the names they also and mainly used what type of god or goddess they were. For example, Antheia was the goddess of gradens, blossoms, human love, ect. Today there are Antheia Flowers, there is an Antheia Ballroom, and there is an Antheia Hotel.

One thing the Greeks influenced that applies to our everyday lives is our alphabet. The Greek alphabet contains only twenty-four letters, whereas today the English alphabet contains twenty-sis letters. The word 'alphabet' is derived from the Greek words Alpha, meaning first, and Beta, which is the second letter of the Greek alphabet. The last letter of the Greek alphabet is Omega. This is where we got the saying 'Alpha and Omega' which means the beginning and the end. Many letters in the English alphabet look similar to those of the Greek alphabet.

The Greek mythology influenced the world today by the brands of shoes, hotels, flowers, stores ect. The paintings that came from Greek mythology made this world very popular.

Greek mythology influenced the names of products and companies.greek mythology influenced products and companies names because they help give the meaning of the company or product.heres an example: Nike,a popular sports apparel company, is named after the Greek God Nike.the God Nike is the god of victory.the company uses this name to make people think that if they buy their product,they will have victory.this might influence people to buy their products if they know the meaning behind the name Nike.

Ancient Greek infuenced todays society in many ways. Some ways the Greek influenced today's society is by the alphabet and the Olympics. They influenced us in the alphabet because we use alot of the same letters. The Greek influenced us with the Olympics because we still have them and it is a huge deal in today's society. This is just some of the many ways that the Ancient Greek has influenced us today. These things effect us today because without them we wouldn't have alot of the things we have today like the alphabet and the Olympics. We also wouldn't have alot of the art, fashion, architecture, philosophy, and mathematics that we have in today's society.

You do not think another society would have developed mathematics? Were the Greeks that much smarter than everyone else and everyone today?

Yes, I think other societys would have developed mathematics. I just don't think they would be the same as they are today. No, I don't think the Greeks were that much smarter I just think they had a good way of life that is effective.

Greek has influenced today's society because we have lots of things named after them. Like Trident gum or like the Titans football team. We even have some constellations named after them, like Persues, Aromeda, and Aries and many others.

We have learned a lot about Greeks and their mytholigy. I have learned and studied about their alphabet, and how the idea of the alphabet has been stolen, and passed down many, many, many times. We took the idea, and made big and small changes to it. We got the name alphabet from the first two letters of the greek alphabet. This influences us, because with out the alphabet we wouldn't have the ability to read and write in our language.

I believe that the Greek influenced todays alphabet because many of the letters in the Greek alphabet are in the American alphabet. The Greek also had an influence on the planets because their Roman names is what named the planets. These things effect us today because the planets name and we use part of there alphabet.

Greek myth has effected us with are figurative language and how we think we can get power. it effects our figurative language with when somebody says "it was his achilles heel" which means it was his weekness,or if someone says "dont open the pandoras box" means to not have evil.This also effects the way we talk today if we didnt know greek myth then we wouldnt know what the saying is trying to point out. Greek myth effects how we get power in amarica because like the gods they had alot of stength and they cheated,so people today think that being all powerful mean to have lots of money to cheat and be different in stength will giv you power.

greek mythology influences us today because of the alphebet. The greeks were the first ones to use the alphebet in which was developed after the dark age when the greeks stopped useing them. And so that's how we use all twenty four letters in the alphebets.

There where origenaly 19 letters in the greek alphabet at first. Then the greeks had changed them to 24. The greek alphabet was made in about 750B.C. The greek alphabet is about 2500 years old.
