civilization is defined as . . .

then the greeks far outdistance the petty (and barbaric) romans 'cause not only is most - if not all - of roman thought predicated
on greek philosophy, greek philosophy is western civilization, i mean all of western civilization. the italian renaissance, and by
consequence the french and northern european revitilization in art and learning, happened because byzantine embassies to
rome re-introduced ancient greek learning.

thats what im talking about!
give credit where credit is due!

I say Greeks because they were the basis for a lot of western civilization.

If Zeus was all powerful, he shouldn't need to ask her for permission to get some booty.

I say good for the Romans. They took what the Greeks had and built on it so they could be the superior race. Sounds smart to me, it's just survival of the fittest.

Don't you mean "which was the better of the two civilizations"? I mean, you DO know they both no longer exist, right?
