European/Western culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture, especially in the arts. Greek literature began through an oral tradition of telling stories and reciting poetry. Homer's epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, though not written down until centuries later, were influential works that shaped Greek culture. Tragedy and comedy also emerged as dramatic forms, with playwrights like Sophocles and Aristophanes popularizing the genres. The arts of architecture, sculpture, painting and pottery also flourished in ancient Greece.

Sappho 31 He seems to me, that man, almost a god— the man, who is face to face with you, sitting close enough to you to hear your sweet whispering And your laughter, glistening, which the heart in my breast beats for. For when on you I glance, I do not, not one sound, emit. But my tongue snaps, lightly runs beneath my flesh a flame, and from my eyes no light, and rumbling comes into my ears, And my skin grows damp, and trembling all over racks me, and greener than the grass am I, and one step short of dying I seem to myself.
