Can anybody help me with this question? I'm a little confused by what I'm really suppose to do. Thanks. I'm to select two works of art. Then the chosen works must be from the field of visual art, architecture, literature, or music. One piece must be from Classical Greek or Hellenistic civilization; the second piece must be from the Etruscan civilization, Republican Rome, or the Roman Empire. 1. Identify the art form ( visual art, architecture, literature, or music). 2. How does the artwork embody ideas associated with the selected era or civilization? From all of this I must write two essays of at least 350 words. Can anybody help me?

Here are several search results that should help you. Read through several articles and look through all the images. Then choose one art form and two examples (one from each era) to focus on.

Here's one example you might choose, for example, if you decide to focus on literature:
Aristophanes (Greek) -- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGIE_en&q=aristophanes

Plautus (Roman) -- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGIE_en&q=plautus
