Greeks and Romans were different nations and spoke completely different languages. Although these two civilizations look alike in religion, education, dressing and so on, but there are also many differences in the ways of thinking. The romans considered impressive as something ideal, while Greeks appreciated something simple and essential.
This can be observed for example in architecture and literature. It was easy for the Romans to accept their emperors as Gods, but in Greece, Alexander the Great was the single monarch who tried to impose this idea and he was found dead soon after that. The Greek ideals are based on the concept of a man's freedom and this is why they lacked a central government and they were divided in smaller city-states and kingdoms. On the other hand, the Roman empire was united and the Romans were seen as subjects and servants of Rome.

Leo, good job on this question but this is one to save to the end of your research after you study both Greece and Rome. Get ready to come back to this one.
The title and the story matched together exactly and it contained great information, it was really cool. However you could go deeper each parts. Nice work anyway. It totally answered the question, and it was valid, but you can still go deeper :D
Your answer is really depth ,but I still don;t understand because my English is too bad , I'm not that good,
Good job on researching on both ancient greece and rome.
