Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

<h3>What is an oxymoron?</h3>

It is a figure of speech in which two seemingly incompatible terms are used together.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" fits the definition of an oxymoron, according to this definition.

<h3>What are paradoxes?</h3>

It is akin to an oxymoron, except it usually involves a series of logically incongruous claims that, depending on the circumstances, may or may not be true.

e.g "Everything I say is a lie", Barber  "A male barber only shaves the males who don't shave. Everything I say is a lie. Does he shave?"

As we can see, there are just assertions that might contradict one another rather than phrases or words that are contradictory.

Which of these was NOT a requirement for citizenship in Athens?
atroni [7]

Answer:

C) female

Explanation:

Athens is considered to be the cradle of democracy in the world, but in practice it was not as most people would imagine. A good example is what were the requirements for gaining a citizenship of this ancient Greek city-state. In order to get a citizenship the person had to have full 18 years of age. It had to be a free male, as if it was slave in question than citizenship was impossible to be granted. Also, the free male, that had 18 years of age, had to be born in Athens, otherwise he was not going to be considered as Athenian, so citizenship was not going to be granted. The citizenship was granted by a council of elders, and it was usually the closest male in the family that was leading the ceremony for granting a citizenship. The females was discriminated against in every level, and they were not even included in the requirements for citizenship, as if they didn't existed. Also, the role of the women in Athens was to be home, take care of the household, and raise the children, nothing more than that.

Describe the difference between the artwork of the Middle ages, Italian renaissance, and the northern Italian renaissance?
Lisa [10]

Both Middle ages, Italian Renaissance and Northern Renaissance reflect the worldviews of the times. Differences between them are given by the distinct ways each of them dealt with the place of the human being in the cosmos.

In Middle ages art was mainly about religious themes and had an educational role in spreading catholich worldview when most people couldn't read and had little or no access to cultural exchanges that happened in places like cities. Art represented the greatness of God, was characterized by moral teachings inspired by the Bible and by the lives of the saints. Painting had no sense of perspective, that is, it had no depth; painted scenes had no horizon and there wasn't an attempt to realistically depict human body.

Italian Renaissance, on the other hand, pertained to a context where cities were already central spaces full of movement. These city-states had rich families (like the Medici family) fighting for power who'd exhibit themselves through financing of great artists, creating what we call the mecenae. Italian Renaissance valued Classical Greece, it's authors and political ideas, inspired by the intellectual effervescence of that moment. Admiration for Classical Greece made humanist ideas and intellectual exploration from the human point of view one of the main characteristics of this movement. There was also a close relation with scientific concepts, so artists from this time were concerned with proportion and anatomy.

Northern Renaissance hadn't such close relation to the rich. Paintings by it's principal artists, like Jan van Eyck (1390-1441), different from the Classical Greece motifs largely utilized in Italian Renaissance art, represented peasants' daily lives and domestic interiors with naturalistic tones.
