Similarities

  • Social and economic activities were highly gendered in all three countries.
  • Philosophy, arts and literature were very developed in all three cultures.

Differences

  • Buddhist ideas were adopted during this period, which were very different from the religious traditions of the other regions.
  • The Chinese government was highly centralized, while the Greek city-states were closer to a democratic, federal institution.
  • Culinary traditions were very different among the regions because of their different weather.
