What fine traditions did the Byzantines inherit from the ancient Greeks?

Byzantines not only inherited the ancient Greek tradition of attaching importance to education, but also inherited the ancient Greek tradition of loving literature, history and philosophy research and attaching importance to their creative activities. We classify Byzantine literature, history and philosophy as "literature" because at that time, there was no clear disciplinary distinction between literature, history and philosophy as it is today. Historians may be writers and philosophers at the same time, while philosophers write not only books on philosophy and theology, but also literary and historical works. Therefore, literature here refers to academic activities created through words. The Byzantines did not inherit the inspiration and boldness of vision of the ancient Greeks in literary creation and historical writing, but they had a huge group of authors and gradually formed a unique Byzantine style in their long-term and coherent creation.
