The Romans destroyed Greek with tremendous malice. They made it a point to destroy all the library's and the books taking us back to the dark ages.

It is true the church kept an iron fist on all individual thought through threats of torture for heresy.

But there was also the black plague that killed something like half the people in Europe and we went back to a point in time when most peope were illiterate.

Such a shame the Greeks met with almost total annihlation. Plato, Socrates and Aristotle were easily the intellectual match of Jefferson and maybe modern knowledge as well.
