How did the Greek influence Romans writing?
The Latin alphabet was derived from the western Greek alphabet. The Greeks established colonies (settlements) in Southern Italy and Sicily in the 8th and 7th century BC. Being a more advanced civilisation, the Greeks had a big impact on the Italic peoples they interacted with. One of the results of this was the adoption and adaptation of the western Greek alphabet to create written languages by the Italics. This included the Etruscan and the Latin alphabet. The late 3rd century BC saw the beginning of the development of early Latin literature and Latin epic, tragedy, comedy and satire. The early Latin poets wrote Latin adaptations of Greek tragedy and comedy or based their work on the Greek styles and themes of these genres. The first play in Rome was held in 230 BC and was by Lucius Livius Andronicus, who was a Greek from the Greek city of Tarentum, in southern Italy, who was captured when the Romans seized that city. He became an educator for a noble Roman family and translated the Odyssey and other Greek works into Latin. He then wrote tragedies and comedies (the latter in the Greek New Comedy style and the characters were in Greek costume). The other great poets of early Latin literature followed his template.
Why was the Renaissance often considered the beginning of Modern Times?
The Renaissance as the beginning of Modern TimesAny division of history into periods is arbitrary abd is based on a range of assumptions (often unstated). In the Renaissance and the Enlightenment there was a widespread view in Europe that the period between the end of the Western Empire (AD 476) and the Renaissance had been a time when mankind had 'hibernated' intellectually and spiritually - a time of domination by the Catholic Church, a long period of darkness and obscurantism.There was also a widespread feeling that in the Renaissance mankind again took control of its destiny.It was on this basis that west Europeans divided history into Ancient, Medieval and Modern (with various subdivisions). It long been customary to subdivide Modern History into Early Modern (up to the French Revolution, 1789) and the rest of the Modern period.There are problems with these divisions. Firstly, the division is geared to western Europe. The division between Ancient and Medieval doesn't really apply to Byzantium, let alone China, for example. Secondly, many take the view that the 'barbarity' and 'obscurantism' of the Middle Ages is grossly exaggerated in this view.Joncey
