Let me answer you..Firstly,I would recommend you to examine some books and other sources in order to achieve a clearest view..Neither Ancient Greek nor Modern Greek has anything similar with Italian language,respectively Latin. Moreover, they differ in language dramatically,having also totally different Alphabets too. As to the history and culture both are very influential and worth..but similar no..Check some more,it's interesting..Luck! PS: I have no clue why so many people completely ignorent answer to that question..

Greece is a country, Rome is a city. Different language, similar climate. Both occupied by the Romans.

Romans assimilated some of greek culture, such as mythology and religious practices. Wiki "ancient Rome" and you'll get more info.

these cultures are similar because they were 1. the most powerful empires of their era. 2. based around the Mediterranean sea, 3. had city-state government systems 4. had political, cultural, and militaristic ideals that are used today (example: democracy, roman numerals) 5. have artifacts of their empires

there mythology is pretty close, their gos and goddess's are basically the same, just with different names. The big difference was which god or goddess they worshiped more. The Romans worshiped Mars (god of war) while the Greeks worshiped Ceres (goddess of the harvest). They are very different people, but all I can see the same is their gods.

Although the Romans have a mostly original history, they were copycats of the Greeks.
