Greek art and literature provided the basis of most western art and literature today, as one can observe the Greeks were very enchanted by the human form and truly brought a new degree of realism into their art and sculpture because of it. As for their literature, the Greeks laid a foundation that was then built upon by the Romans, who brought it to Europe, and although it has undergone an immense amount of change over time, it laid a sound foundation for what we have today.
