How does the civilization of ancient Greece differ from the civilizations of the ancient East?

These differences are significant, and they also laid the foundation for contemporary differences between the two. First of all, we can talk about the organization of these societies. The Eastern community was apolitical and more inclined towards collective forms. At the same time, Greek society assumed active participation in political life, where people are more individual and free in the modern sense of the word. For Greece, the attitude to a person as to a thing is characteristic, that is, there was classical slavery, while in the East the slave was a member of the family, that is, patriarchal slavery prevailed.
