Yes. You need to say, "We surrender."
It's not what you Greeks are founders of that counts, but rather how well you use it and how well you can defend it.
In any case, your claim is a bit exaggerated. Consider Rome's aqueducts and colosseums, and the fact that it was under Roman, not Greek rule that monotheistic religous belief became widespread.
And then there's the little fact that in our game, it was Rome, not Greece, that poneered the development of philosophy and a code of laws.

You take other's inventions, art, and culture and pawn them off as your own. Then you massacre them and rewrite the history books so that no one will ever remember them.
Aqueducts are a Greek invention, not Roman. Colosseums were a Etruscan idea. The Roman code of laws were written by an Etruscan king. And Thales was the father of Philosophy not Hadrian. Also the founder of that monotheistic religion that you fail to name was murdered by Roman hands!
I guess that's why we say "It's all Greek to me"!
Not to mention the fact that Constantine's motives in becoming a Christian were dubious at best
