The answer is: The Greeks held the athletic games to honor Zeus.

The Olympics were intended to be a solemn ceremony where ancient Greek belief gave honor to one of the major Gods: Zeus. While these games were held, all differences from the city-states were conciliated. All political hostilities were paused. Unity was promoted by reinforcing cultural religious practices from the Hellenic world. The Olympic stadium was attributed to Heracles building the place as a temple for worship to Zeus. The ruins we see today are a historical record for a major sanctuary from the time.

atroni [7]

The Ninth Amendment protects unenumerated residual rights of the people, and, by the Tenth, powers not delegated to the United States are reserved to the states or the people.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. The Ninth Amendment clearly rebutted the possible presumption that enumeration of some rights precluded the recognition of others. By its terms, it provides that the enumeration of specific rights should not be “construed to deny or disparage” other rights

allsm [11]

Answer:

D. Renaissance

Explanation:

Okay, we can automatically rule out the Cold War because that was in a completely different era with Russians and whatnot. We can also rule out the Industrial Revolution because that was also in a different time period. Now, the Protestant Reformation was about people leaving the Catholic Church, and it was during that time period, but it wasn't about Greek and Roman literature and stuff, so that leaves us with the Renaissance. The Renaissance was the time period of artists like Leonardo da Vinci, and scientists like Issac Newton (I think, don't quote me on that), and enlightenment thinkers like John Locke, so I think that the Renaissance is the best answer
