Only the though of a democracy, where people get to have a say in their government. Also some architectural things, like the Back of the United States was build with a Hellenic style for a more stable look (cause it's money).
And it was the Romans that did more influence in sex and food. Not sure though, but the Roman empire collapsed from the incompetence of the people to laziness, material pleasure, and personal ascension.

nearly everything we know today, comes from the greeks.
You might want to ask a better question such as:
What were the contributions to western civilization that didn't come from the Ancient Greeks?

Architecture, language, almost every Western language has some Greek in it.
