yeah but while Roman history is very grounded in reality Greek is not. Most of what people know of Greek history involves the myths. in other words when people think of greece they think of fantasy and that might have a lot to do with with it. I'm pretty sure the only Greek history people actually know is Thermoplye and even then they have problems with the truth (I mean 300). Yeah, they think mostly of the Greek culture and feel nice, gives good vibes. Greek history isn't everyone's territory. One other reason why is that Greeks conquered but gave a good reputation. For example, Alexander theGreat married a princess from somewhere in Asia to be accepted and forced his soldiers to get married as well. He named these lands Greek, but he was loved. In Egypt he was considered a Pharaoh!
