How did ancient Greece influence roman art literature and philosophy?

Answer 1

Greek Art laid the foundations of what we today regard as classical art. Many of today's designs, particularly in the West, are based on the legacy left by the Greeks, such as in columns and architecture of public buildings like those in Washington D.C., such as the White House and the Capitol Building.

Answer 2

The arrival of Greeks who set up colonies (settlements) in southern Italy in the 8th and 7th century BC had a civilising impact. Etruscan civilisation arose through the process of orientalisation. This was a process of spread of Greek cultural and artistic influence and of wealth through trade with the colonists and the cities of mainland Greece. Greek artistic motifs, especially in pottery, were adopted and adapted. The more advanced Greek architectural orders were also borrowed. There is now archaeological evidence that the early Latins were involved in this process, too.

The Romans looked up to the Greeks. The elites received a Greek education and spoke Greek. They were fascinated with Greek mythology and the study of Greek philosophy was common. The Romans adopted Greek models in architecture and sculpture. Greek myths were a common artistic motif.

Answer 3

The Greek Art had incorporated various fields of life into one medium. It formed the base for providing guidlines to modern world in fields like medicine, mechanics, architecture, and social lifestyle.

Answer 4

Latin literature developed using the models of Greek drama and comedy The two main schools of philosophy of the Hellenistic period of the Greeks (which was contemporary to Rome's imperial expansion) became popular among Roman elite men. These were Stoicism and Epicureanism.

During the Republican period (509-27 BC) Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). In the period of rule by emperors which followed, the Romans made full body statues modelled on Hellenistic sculpture.

Roman temples were modelled on the temples of the Greeks, expect for the temples which were a rotunda, such as the rebuilt Pantheon in the city of Rome. These were a Roman innovation. The Romans adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for columns: Ionic, Doric Corinthian. They also developed the Composite order, which was a mixture of two orders as a Roman innovation.

Answer 5

They added more details to sculpting and made the design more realistic just like we do in sculpting today.

Answer 6

The Romans copied a lot of Greek art and had tried to re-create them in their own statues. Basically they copies a lot of Greek art. Hope this helped!
