Compare and contrast medievalism and Hellenism.
Answer (2)
Medievalism is the system of belief and practice characteristic of the Middle Ages, or devotion to elements of that period, which has been expressed in areas such as architecture, literature, music, art, philosophy, scholarship, and various vehicles of popular culture.
The Hellenistic period is the period of ancient greek and eastern Mediterranean history between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the emergence of the Roman Empire as signified by the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the subsequent conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt in 30 BC.
Medievalism refers to the cultural and historical practices of the Middle Ages characterized by feudalism and Christianity, while Hellenism involves the spread of Greek culture following Alexander the Great's conquests. Each period contributed distinctively to Western history's development, with Medievalism focusing on religious transformation and Hellenism emphasizing cultural globalization and humanism. Together, they illustrate the dynamic changes across ancient and medieval eras in the Western world.
