Question

Explain the unique situation of the Greeks and Romans:

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The unique situation of the Greeks and Romans in this quote is that even though the Romans conquered the Greeks around 146 BC, they did not influence the Greek's way of living. Rather it was the Greeks that influenced the Romans in virtually all aspects of their lives.

This is evident as the Romans took some elements of the Greek culture including their religion, gods, lifestyle, and philosophy.

The Romans absorb the Greek culture, and it appeared like the Romans were the conquered and the Greeks the conqueror.

When the reality is that the Romans were the conqueror and the Greeks the conquered

Hence, “ the conquered (Greeks) becoming the conquerors and the conquerors (Romans) becoming the conquered”
