Greek Times Vs Worldviews

Greek and Roman times and worldviews were very similar. Both savored realism, just in different ways. The Greeks had a worldview of idealized realism while the Romans preferred a more pragmatic realism. The governments were also related especially by the term: polis. The Greeks were all under one polis as equals in a direct democracy while the Romans considered their empire to be one huge polis. The Roman based their culture on the Greeks, so naturally, there would be some similarities. The remains of the Greek times surrounded the Romans. The Romans, in my opinion, were almost like a practical version of the Greeks.
When it comes to Medieval times though, it is a slightly different story. This period does not have such a strong connection
