Examples of early Greek art include jewellery dating back to Prehistoric times and Bronze Age artifacts. Among other items, clay vases with their decorations of chariots and horses and scenes from Greek life and mythology are a source of information about the Ancient World. In fact, remains of Greek pottery provide us with evidence of Greek migration - the colonial times of Magna Graecia.

Classical Greek sculpture has been admired for centuries especially the representation of materials gracefully draped over figures. An example of this is the sculpture of the goddess of Victory, Nike.

Ancient Greek literature is still read today. The epic poems of the Trojan War: The Iliad and The Odyssey and the histories of Herodotus and Thucydides played an important part in the establishment of Western literature. The tragedies of Aeschlus, Sophocles and Euripides and the comedies of Aristophanes are classics of the theatre.

The most widely known modern Greek writers are the poets Cavafy and Seferis (a Nobel prize winner) and the novelist Kazantzakis (Christ Recrucified, Zorba the Greek).
