This will be a essay for my Human/Greek Roman class, the topic I have picked is “The Greek “dark ages” also known as the Heroic Age”. You should pick TWO genres/types of art or thought and show how works of art or thought responded to changing ideas in t

 

The genres include:

DRAMA
RELIGION
POETRY
ARCHITECTURE
SCULPTURE
PHILOSOPHY

Your task is to show how that specific work of art or thought was influenced by the historical and cultural changes that surrounded its production. You should have a general description of that historical and cultural context (for example, the Hellenistic Era). Go on to describe how the works you chose reflect these ideas. Staying with the Hellenistic period as our example, you could give a detailed description of several statues that reflect new themes of diversity, emotional expression, and technical virtuosity. You could also show how town planning and architecture changed with the creation of new, planned cities with buildings that were much bigger in scale and tended to glorify the ruler. Don’t forget to illustrate your discussion with examples of what came BEFORE the period in question so you can make it very clear as to what has changed.

You must provide adequate in-text citation (MLA or APA) and a works cited page.

Don’t forget that you need to cite an author’s information and ideas even when you have put that material into your own words. It is CRITICALLY important to use in-text citation. As you use an author’s ideas or information you must tell the reader where you got the information from. Every body paragraph should have a minimum of one citation.

Papers must be at least 1250 words in length. You must include a word count somewhere on your paper. Do not count the works cited page in your word count

You must use a MINIMUM of 3 academically reputable sources (peer reviewed articles or books). These do NOT include web-sites, encyclopedias, your text book or ABC-CLIO.

Spelling and grammar counts.
