Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: It spread Greek ideas that the Romans later adopted and adapted

Hellenistic culture transmitted Greek ideas — philosophy, art, science, and language — across the Mediterranean world. The Romans encountered and absorbed these ideas, particularly through their conquest of Greece and the Greek-speaking east, shaping Roman and later Western civilization.
