Briefly describe similarities between the art and philosophy of ancient Greece and the Renaissance.

Well, both do have similarities and differences. Both seem to be the time when the roots of modern society would be formed, however, their ways on how it was done were different.

First let’s see about what Ancient Greece has done. It founded the idea of governing a country using democracy with Athens being the city-state that first did that. Ancient Greece also had one of the most notorious and well recognized warriors ever being the Spartan soldiers with king Leonidas and his 300 Spartans holding out in a narrow path in Thermopylae. Philosophy was a major influence in Athens with philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Also, religion was a major factor in the influence on Rome with gods like Zeus, Saturn, Ares and Mars. And with the Greco-Persian War, the Greek city-states, being mostly independent were able to unite against the Persians, which they were at the time a big empire like Alexander the Great.

Now let’s see about the Renaissance. Unlike Ancient Greece, it influenced almost all of Europe due to migration. Also, art became a work from celebrities because colors like red and purple were expensive to get and were used on paintings by people like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The Renaissance has had people divided like Ancient Greece but not by city-states, rather by noble families like the Medici family from Florence. It sparked in one place and then started to spread, with Florence being the city that starts it all. Lastly, religion was a major thing from the Renaissance by influencing art and eventually leading Martin Luther to write the 95 theses, thus sparking a division in Christianity with now having Lutherans, Catholics, Christians, Orthodox and Protestants. There are more things from the Renaissance, but it is a long list.

It seems that both have a great influence on religion, having from a lot of gods and goddesses to one god and his son with his followers, but both people from both places were influenced greatly by religion by expressing it on art. Another is the way on government with, in the Renaissance having monarchies all throughout Europe and in Ancient Greece Athens being the first city-state to be governed by a democracy. Aside from those, that is all what is needed to be known.

horror and alarm

this is shown in the exserp then he beat at the door and called, but none responded, and for wrath he could have dashed the door down, but it was too stout, and he had no weapon; for his arms had been taken from him.when it was dark, suddenly it seemed to sir lancelot that the room smelled foul, as if he had been carried into the midst of the quaking marsh, and was sunk deep in the slime and weeds of a pool. then, through the arrow-slit, he saw many strange lights come, dim and blue like the wild lights that dance and flit over the lonely marshes by night; but that which made him   marvel was that these lights were two together, as if they were the eyes of evil things. and they came up to him with a breath that was cold and dank, and they seemed to peer into his face, but he could see naught of their bodies. the hair upon his head rose, and his skin went cold. they pressed all about him, and to defend himself he struck at the eyes, but his blows beat only the air. then suddenly sir lancelot felt sharp pains, as if small keen knives had been thrust into his flesh at many places. the stabs increased in number and in pain, and sir lancelot beat about himself and ran to and fro in the narrow chamber to escape   the evil eyes and the stabs, but it was in vain, and thus all night in much misery he suffered. when for sheer weariness he lay down and tried to close his eyes, the evil things would not let him, but ever they tore at him and stabbed him.
