Which of the following were characteristics of ancient greek literature? select all that apply. a. epic poems reflected the belief that the gods controlled humans' lives. b. lyric poetry was sung about topics like war, politics, and emotions. c. the chorus sang in the plays in order to generate more emotion. d. tragedies always ended happily and were amusing to the audience. e. comedies told about violent conflict and heroes' downfalls in battle.

I believe the answer is:

A.  Epic poems reflected the belief that the Gods controlled humans' lives.

The Greeks adopt a polytheistic view in describing their Gods. Each gods had the power/influence only on specific aspect of human lives.

C.  The chorus sang in the plays in order to generate more emotion.

The emotion is generated by putting more emphasis on instrumental plays leading to the chorus and by adding 'hooks' to the songs that make the audiences become addicted to it.

what are the events?

the language of nature was a manifestation from god as he said "let there be light" and there was light the world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

what ever we know now think of the old vision of creation we can be sure that with out the speaking of word -without language- we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world.
