art, from the sagging old woman to the ideal
athlete. Although early Greek art focused on the
human ideal, their later art shows that the Greeks

afterlife allowed them to live a fuller life
without the fear of death. The Greeks also

earthly copies of a divine model and order. Each

wind, and Babylon to Marduk, who supplanted Enlil
in Babylonian myth. Nannar, a moon god, was the
owner of Ur. Moreover, located at the heart of
each major city-state was a temple complex.

the Greeks. Yet, through the first hundreds years
of their civilization, the Greek literature has

heroism to obey the rules laid down by the gods

likely to put aside contemplating the topic and
simply inject those known feelings. This would
definitely be an...
