@Cythil Civ is really great at making people interested in stuff, unfortunately it also spread some myths, for example the stirrup theory about Middle Ages, or having writing and the wheel as very important techs prerequisite for so much stuff when you would see much more complex maths in Mesoamerica which notably didn't have wheeled transport due to nature of their roads. But Civilization made it look like the Mediterranean way of advancement is the only/main one. I just keep noticing how many misinfo in my head was reinforced by pop culture, not because they were evil but because they either didn't do the research, or the data they used was outdated (i.e. most dinosaurs in games). Total War has really positive impact with how they showed armies, people criticize them for inaccuracy too much. KOEI games too... I'm glad people get interested in stuff due to games or films or TV.

In Greco-Roman world, women were frowned upon IN GENERAL, like it's an Athenian thing damage from which lasts to this day, like it was that culture, which brought misogyny to Christianity, not vice versa. Case in point: there are female priests in Bible, and women were major sponsors of early Christian church... none of that survived culture clash with Hellenistic ideas of woman's place.
