Greek Tattoo Designs - Ancient Greece and Greek culture have had a powerful influence on the development of art and civilization in Europe and the West in particular. Our modern governmental institutions and art forms can all trace their roots to Greece.

The Greek Gods had a great influence on a number of their Roman counterparts, such as Hermes to Mercury, Ares to Mars and there were often similar figures in a number of Northern European mythological pantheons.

The Greek alphabet arose from the Phoenician, gave rise to the Cyrillic, Gothic, Coptic and Latin alphabets and is the oldest alphabet in use today. It is also widely used in science and mathematics. Whether you were a member of a Greek Fraternity or not, there are few among us who are unfamiliar with Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Epsilon and the list goes on and on, all the way to Omega, in fact!
