How do Classical Greek religious beliefs compare with those of classical Rome

Reika [66]

Ancient Greek religion encompasses the collection of beliefs, rituals, and mythology originating in ancient Greece in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. These groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or "cults" in the plural, though most of them shared similarities.

Most ancient Greeks recognized the twelve major Olympian gods and goddesses: (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus), although philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to assume a single transcendent deity. The worship of these deities, and several others, was found across the Greek world, though they often have different epithets that distinguished aspects of the deity, and often reflect the absorption of other local deities into the pan-Hellenic scheme. this was on wiki

In many societies, ancient and modern, religion has performed a major role in their development, and the Roman Empire was no different. From the beginning Roman religion was polytheistic. From an initial array of gods and spirits, Rome added to this collection to include both Greek gods as well as a number of foreign cults. As the empire expanded, the Romans refrained from imposing their own religious beliefs upon those they conquered; however, this inclusion must not be misinterpreted as tolerance - this can be seen with their early reaction to the Jewish and Christian population. Eventually, all of their gods would be washed away, gradually replaced by Christianity, and in the eyes of some, this change brought about the decline of the western empire. link here https://www.ancient.eu/Roman_Religion/

Which of the following Supreme Court cases ruled that school sponsored prayer by clergy at a graduation was unconstitutional? En

anastassius [24]

Althought every case presented in the options was about an aspect of religion in schools the one which ruled that school sponsored prayer by clergy at a graduation was unscontitutional is "Lee v. Weisman" .

It was the first major school prayer case decided by the Rehnquist court on the year 1992.

<h3> Context</h3>

Robert E. Lee was the principal of Nathan Bishop Middle School in Providence, Rhode Island. He invited a rabbi to present a prayer at the 1989 graduation ceremony, Deborah Weisman was a student from that class and her parents requested a temporary injunction to ban the rabbi´s presentation. At first instance the Rhode Island court denied the Weisman´s motion, nevertheless the Wesiman family still attended to the graduation and the rabbi gave his speech.

The Weisman family continued their litigation after the graduation and won in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The argument of the family was an interpretation of the "Establishment clause" that sustained the free excercise of religion throughout the country and prohibit the congress to sanction a law about establishing a determinated religion. The interpretation which the family and the Supreme Court held was a broad interpretation.

After having lost in the First Circuit Court of Appeals the school district appealed to the Supreme Court under the argument that the prayer was nonsectarian and doubly voluntary, Deborah was free not to stand for the prayer and the participation in the ceremony wasn´t obligatory neither.

<h3> Decision </h3>

On june 24, 1992 the decision was announced and, as I wrote in the last paragraph, it was a win for the Weisman family as the Court accept the arguements presented by them and reject the ones presented by the school district making special emphasis on the one which said that the attend of Deborah to the graduation was voluntary:

"To say a teenage student has a real choice not to attend her high school graduation is formalistic in the extreme. True, Deborah could elect not to attend commencement without renouncing her diploma; but we shall not allow the case to turn on this point. Everyone knows that, in our society and in our culture, high school graduation is one of life's most significant occasions. A school rule which excuses attendance is beside the point. Attendance may not be required by official decree, yet it is apparent that a student is not free to absent herself from the graduation exercise in any real sense of the term "voluntary," for absence would require forfeiture of those intangible benefits which have motivated the student through youth and all her high school years" Anthony Kennedy.

I hope that the answer is correct and helps you. Regards

In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, which four parts reflect the theme that art is immortal?

Andre45 [30]

This poem with 5 strophes underlines in 4th of them (1,2,3,5) that art is immortal. The théme of the poem is the immortality of art.

The speaker of the poem is a man who observes a Grecian urn and describes the frozen moment painted on it.

He describes it on the first moment, then he concludes time will never pass for the painted persons, finally, he remembers his generation and assumes they´ll be forgotten.

The frozen scene:

Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave

Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,

Forever wilt thou love, and she is fair!

Time will never pass:

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed

Forever warm and still to be enjoyed,

Forever panting, and forever young;

The conclusion:

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woes

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
