Option that philosophy was founded there. Where was it and why the distinction between the two.

Plato and Socrates were Greek but the Greek culture was spread around. Ex Archimedes was from Sicily.

Most of Sicily was a greek and Syracuse was a greek colony. In fact Archimedes helped defend it against the romans. Most of southern Italy was greek, before Rome became big(and conquered other italians, greeks and carthaginians).

And even after the romans conquered "everything", greek culture was still dominant since the romans were greekaboos(and greek culture was everywhere because of Alexander the OK).
