What did The Greeks start with?

First the lips, then the thighs and then finally; the anus.

>>9056754
woah

I don't know.
woah is right

>>9056754
The Egyptians.

Seriously, look at Archaic Greek art. They pretty heavily ripped off the Ancient Egyptians before gradually developing their own style, and so it's not unreasonable to assume that Ancient Egyptian poetry was a thing and the Greeks were familiar with it to some extent.

also the Babylonians

They started with ONE THING.

>>9056754
wtf!! I'm an athiest now

>>9056754
The Egyptians, the Babylonians. the Carthagenians.

>>9056754

tfw sumerian literature was as old to Plato as Plato is to us

The right answers have been given. Every greek intellectual had to take a trip to Egypt at some point in his life, it was a dream come true to visit a more developed civilization. Thales's achievements were mostly knowledge he gathered from the Babylonians. The Greeks respected eastern civilizations a lot and even worshiped a lot of their Gods , while considering north Europeans barbarians. That's why is funny when /pol/ tries to claim WE WUZ GREEKZ N EGYPTIANZ N SHIT etc

>>9056817
wasn't their culture more concentrated on oration and memorization of the spoken word, instead of writing?

>>9056779
>we wuz grekez

>>9056754
The Jews, of course.

>>9056779
ripped off implies plagiarism. The height of each culture was at different points so while the greeks are obviously influenced by the egyptians, they just picked what they liked and worked with that.

You cannot apply logic to a concept that transcends the idea of logic

Probably not much. 99% of them were illiterate, and the books were super rare. You've read more books than any of the greeks.
