Actually, I have read that there was some Jewish influence on classical Greece. The Jews were conquered and many brought to Greece where, I recall, they were brought into and made a part of the society (they assimilated to a degree but kept their religion) and not kept so much as a subjugated people to be used by their rulers. In turn, the Jews were very intrigued by Greek custom, philosophy and thought and incorporated some of these into their own ways.
