In order to combat the finite ideals of medieval schoolism, the humanisticism of the Renaissance established in the 14th century and the 15th century, as opposed to religious beliefs, is a phenomenon of education and social reform to emphasize individualism as a core value Ideal. Humanists respect human dignity and seek benign behavior. Petrarch and Pico's work embodies humanitarian thoughts by demonstrating the values of self-awareness, individualism, past lessons; Cicero, Vergil, Horace, Plato, Livy is a classical authority in Greece and Latin I will appeal to you.
Virgil (or Virgil) is one of the greatest poets in ancient Rome. His influence on world literature is immeasurable, and his works (and Seneca, Cicero, Orbit, Aristotle, Plato 's works) are constantly being read from the Middle Ages to the present. His epic "Aneid" is considered to be his great work, which was later Roman national epic, which later became a model of literature, but he also has many pastoral and educational I wrote poems. Publius Vergilius Maro (also known as Vergil or Virgil in the English-speaking world) was born in Cisalpine Gaul in northern Italy now in Andean near Mantua in 70 BC. According to the details of the sparse biography we have, his family seems to be discreet, but wealthy enough to allow the young Virgil to go to Cremona and Mediolanum for education.
Well, why is the educational authority convinced that teaching great literature in Greece and Rome is essential (or at least very important) for the development of thought and character, wisdom and virtue? Why did British educational model evolve in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and why better school has not changed much in recent decades? Serious research by historian Aristotle, Cicero, Vergil, Horace, Livy, Tacitus, Seneca, Plutarch? Why, even in the 19th century, even a hedgehead like Barbarian Connaught, Yeats' red Hanahhan, there is an ink bottle around the neck, and there is a thick Virgil in the jacket pocket. Do barefoot small Paprik boys teach Latin poetry? Are past educational authorities misunderstood the importance of ancient writers ridiculously?
Livy set a new literary style standard using Cicero and Tacitus. The earliest Roman historian wrote a cultural language in Greek. I believe their successors should write their history in Latin, but in Latin there is no ready-made style to use for this purpose. Latin prose must be developed to suit various types of artificial styles. Sallust tries to reproduce the Greek Thucydides style by forging grammar and vocabulary including many old and rare words, but the result is effective, but it is harsh and not suitable for any size piece. Livy evolved into a versatile and flexible style that the ancient critic Quintilian described as "Milk Rich". At some point, he sets the scene with long periodic terms; another short, abrupt sentence reflects the speed of action. He wrote as follows. "When I write down the ancient acts, my idea will be strange."
