    Honestly i wouldn’t even call ancient Greece “western”. I think the “West” has culturally appropriated ancient Greece into their own collective historical identity but really ancient Greece had more in common with the civilizations of the Near East/Eastern Mediterranean like the Persians, Egyptians and Phoenicians than with what eventually became the “West” i.e. western Europe and latin Christianity.
