Ancient Greek culture effectively ended when Justinian banned the philosophical academies of Athens. Greek culture today isn't some sort of continuation of ancient Greek culture.

Christianism is directly linked to neoplatonism (Augustin). Middle Age is mostly aristotelicien, which produce nominalism, which is at the base of modern science. Modern philosophers concepts are all greek (substance = hupokeimenon, being = on, reason = nous). Greek never stopped, it survived through other culture (changed and evolved in good and bad ways).

Holy shit are you really trying to compare Athenian democracy to democratic Republics? The only thing similar is there was voting, but other then that it's like comparing a monarchy with a dictatorship

not at all, it's just odd that a culture with such a blatant hegemony on early western literature (thanks to tradition) just dried up after the old dudes stopped

everyone in Greece stopped writing after Aristotle or something?

Maybe a good book for you would be about the history of Greece.
