Patriarchy became the main social system in Mesopotamia. That made a huge influence on culthure in Ancient Greece culture, as the first Greek philosophers used to travel to Mesopotamia and study philosophy and sciences. In the Ancient Greeksce, sports, literature, politics, and philosophy were male domains (except Sparta, where they considered men and women as equal).
As we know, Ancient Greece was athe cradle of the Western civilization. And nNot only their magnificent achievements in areas of sciences, philosophy, arts, and government, but also their very strict patriarchy system, which they adopted from Mesopotamians, influenced our lives.
