What Features of Modern Europe Have Been Traced Back to Ancient Greece and Rome‚ and Are Such Comparisons Justified?

Early Christianity was viewed as being extremist and rebellious and it was not popular with governing authorities. Rome built huge grandiose structures to glorify and worship their leaders and deities‚ Christianity went against this as it is a monotheistic religion‚ meaning that they only worshipped one god. This was a rarity in the ancient world and it frightened the governments of many civilizations. Arguably one of the biggest goals of a person in power is to remain in power. Christianity

The Impact of Poetry The legend of Homer‚ considered by most the greatest epic poets of ancient Greece‚ stretches beyond classroom conversations and readings in classics classes at Connecticut College. His legend transforms Homer from being a man of words into a man of impact. Words were just the way of delivering this impact to the masses. We see the importance of poetry to the people and culture of Ancient Greece in more places than just the oral readings of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Festivals

Buddhism and Christianity have no specific location to which they officially belong to. From Europe‚ to the Americas and even Asia‚ you are able to find a follower of one of these universal religions. Another interesting similarity is how diverse the population of followers is compared to other religions.

But I will not be focusing on that in this essay because those are not the most important‚ I believe the most important was a weak leadership due to that reason having a ripple effect. To begin with‚ weak leadership in the Roman
