How did classical Greece and Rome influence art architecture and literature in Renaissance Italy?
Classical Greece and Rome profoundly influenced the Renaissance in Italy by reviving interest in their artistic and literary ideals. Artists and architects drew inspiration from classical forms, emphasizing symmetry, proportion, and the use of columns and domes, as seen in works like Brunelleschi's dome and Michelangelo's sculptures. In literature, humanist scholars rediscovered and studied ancient texts, leading to a focus on themes of individualism and human experience, prominently reflected in the writings of figures like Petrarch and Machiavelli. This revival fostered a cultural flourishing that marked the Renaissance as a distinct period of artistic and intellectual achievement.
How do people dress in Greece?
They wear almost the same things as we do, although when it gets hotter in Greece (which is most of the year) they ususally wear things that are silky and women/girls mainly wear dresses. If you go to Greece, there wouldn't be a particular clothing that you could point out that everyone was wearing, they are basically like us, however they just wear our summer clothes 3/4 of the year round.
hope this helps!

What was the reason that Greece was not one unified country?
The Greek world comprised over 2,000 independent city-states, some of which joined leagues. They switched sides as their interests dictated. These city-states were spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, sowed in amongst other cities, petty kingdoms and tribal communities so there was no territorial continuity - the scattered cities went their own way and existed within the environments around them. They also competed against each other, being constantly at war, with ever-changing alliances. While something like the Persian threat brought some temporary cohesion, some cities were parts of the Persian Empire and provided parts of its war fleet, and some others actively sided with Persia against the southern Greek cities.
The Greek cities had many barriers to unity, not the least being that in an age of no telecommunications, aircraft or mechanical transport, communication and interaction was slow and ponderous. This combined with their internal divisions, made unity impossible.
