Greek myths significantly influenced later language by introducing a wealth of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions drawn from mythological figures and tales, such as "Herculean" to describe a daunting task. In art, these myths provided a rich source of themes and narratives, inspiring countless works from the Renaissance to modern times, where artists depicted scenes and characters like Zeus, Athena, and the Trojan War. Moreover, the stylistic conventions established in ancient Greek sculpture and pottery continue to inform artistic practices today. This enduring legacy reflects the foundational role of Greek mythology in shaping Western cultural and artistic frameworks.

Aztec art served various purposes, primarily religious and ceremonial. It was used to create intricate sculptures, pottery, and murals that honored deities, depicted myths, and celebrated important events. Additionally, Aztec art played a role in social and political life, often reflecting the power and status of rulers and the community. The vibrant colors and detailed designs also aimed to convey cultural identity and values within Aztec society.
Kostis Velonis is an artist that makes sculptures, installations and architectural environments. For the artist "radicalism" in sculpture is understood as an individual production of meaning, an alternative to the "social sculpture" concept. The ironic asceticism of its constructions conveys a visual form based on weakness via the bohemian, the emigrant, the Lonesome Cowboy, the Don Quixote, the looser and the disappointed. Through the language of modernity (avant garde sculpture in 20s and 30s ) Velonis offers imaginary plots, making room for individual sensibilities, visions and failures, myths and realities. Recent exhibitions include the "Craft Boy" exhibition in Monitor gallery, Rome, "The History of a Decade that Has not Been Yet Named" at the 9e Biennale de Lyon, "In Present Tense", National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, "Kolnshow2" at the BQ gallery, Cologne, Don Quijote", Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam, Galerie Kamm, "Blind Date", «Give(a)way", EV+A Biennial, Limerick, Ireland "Poetry in the backyard", Art-Concept Gallery, Paris.
The power of individual monarchs greatly increased during the 'Reniassance' era, for example King Henry VIII of England greatly consolidated his power after the Reformation in england. Monarchys became absolute in a way that they had not been in the medieval era. It was the era when slavery, which had virtually died out in Europe during the medieval era, began to flourish again as slaves were needed to work in the new colonies founded in the Americas and the Caribbean. Opportunities for women to engage in trade and business dwindled during the Renaissance period, as women were squeezed out of many lucrative trades they had formerly worked in, like weaving for example.
