Fifth Century Islamic Faith
1,014 wordsBy the end of the Byzantine reign the culture was composed of Greek, Roman, European (Christian) and Islamic elements.

Century B C 5 Th Century
1,789 wordsThe portals to immortality-Greek Grave Steles To us who live in modern times the 'melancholic look' that we find in the sculpture of cemeteries throughout the world is something we take for granted.

Pity And Fear Point Of View
1,946 wordsIs The Persians a proper tragedy or just a piece of dramatized military and civic propaganda? Can it be both? Illustrate your answer with close reference to the text. The Persians is the only Greek tragedy to focus on a subject other than mythology, and this fact in itself should tell us something about the playwrights concerns.
