Greek art included the popular sarpedon vase.
Does culture or civilization came first? The culture I meant is the particular system of art, thought, and customs of a society; And the civilization mean the type of advance society of a particular time or place…
A culture is the combination of art and thought, and history. Humans are born to have thought, otherwise mythology won’t exist. People started to enjoy arts when they have thought, but do art and thought affect a civilization? They sure did, so they do come first then civilization?
Civilization is a result of culture, but this doesn’t mean culture comes first. Because an artless tribe may call a civilization, this doesn’t conflict with the mean of civilization. An artless tribe may advance without art, like robotic technology, it’s artless.
Culture, civilization, and mythology are the crystallization of human’s thought. They are the creation of us, who was the first doesn’t really important.
But I do need your answer and opinion for further studies, thanks.

I think civilisation comes first because you need a civilisation to develop a culture. If there aren't any civilisation, everyone would have different thoughts and art, then culture wouldn't have created because a culture involves a lot of people doing the same types of things. Ummm... Does it makes sense?

Good, I wait for a comment for this article for a long time...
You mentioned:'a culture involves a lot of people doing the same types of things.' This is a good explaination, mark the 'same' word.
