Greeks

The Greeks are one of the 18 nations in the original Rise of Nations. They have the Power of Philosophy, which is based on the historical facts of ancient Greek city-states being the "birthplace of philosophy", where many concepts considered ahead of its time were formulated, such as the concept of philosophy itself, democracy, reason and inquiry (fundamental in early stages of science), et cetera.
