The Europeans were inspired by the Greco-Roman times, so they created the Renaissance that helped to spread sophisticated culture throughout Europe. However, Northern Europe wasn't affected by the Renaissance until later on, when they got into Secularism (the principle that possessions are first to religion).
The Renaissance began in Florence, Italy in the 14th century and later spread to the rest of Europe lasting into the 17th century.
The Twelfth Century Renaissance was a period of renewed interest in learning, philosophy, and the arts in Europe, particularly in the 12th century. It was characterized by the revival of classical texts, especially those of ancient Greece and Rome, which were translated from Arabic and Greek into Latin. This intellectual revival was fueled by the growth of universities, increased trade, and cultural exchanges with the Islamic world. It laid the groundwork for the later developments of the Renaissance in the 14th century.
The period between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance, often referred to as the Middle Ages, is sometimes labeled as a "dark age," particularly in terms of cultural and economic decline in Western Europe. However, this characterization is overly simplistic; while there were challenges such as political fragmentation and reduced urbanization, there were also significant developments in areas like art, philosophy, and science, particularly in the Islamic world and later in medieval Europe. The term "dark age" has been increasingly criticized for failing to acknowledge the complexity and regional variations of this era. Overall, it was a time of transformation rather than outright stagnation.
Greek and Roman mythology influenced renaissance, baroque and neoclassical sculpture and renaissance and baroque painting, which sometimes used classical mythology themes as their subjects. European literature also sometimes took up themes from classical mythology.
It began later in the north because they had less exposure to trade and new ideas. The invention of the printing press was a primary factor of why it started in the north.

assuming you mean places it started in Italy and moved along the trade routes through southern Europe (France, Spain) only hitting Northern Europe (Germany) decades later and with a much more religious tone

Giotto
Florence in Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance and from there is spread through France to Northern Europe. With the Renaissance movement came humanism which had a huge impact on religion in Northern Europe. It lead to the arrival of the Reformation and the turmoil that came with it. Catholicism in Italy however remained untouchable. Protestantism never really happened in Italy. With regard to art. In Italy artists still did religious themed paintings but also started depicting the VIPees of the era and putting them in backgrounds from Ancient Greece and Rome. This never really caught on in Northern Europe (at least not in the extent as in Italy). In Northern Europe they continued depicting religious figures for a much longer period of time. Later on they abandoned this and focused on depicting scenes from daily life, painting ordinary people and ordinary scenes (Breughel and Van Eyk). The Italian Renaissance Men and Women did not do this.
