Greek Renaissance

The Greek Renaissance, primarily occurring during the 14th to 17th centuries, was a cultural revival in Greece that rediscovered and celebrated classical Greek ideas, art, and philosophy after centuries of decline following the Byzantine Empire's influence. This movement inspired renewed interest in ancient Greek literature, science, and aesthetics, blending them with contemporary innovations. It played a significant role in shaping modern Western thought, art, and education by emphasizing humanism—the value of human achievement and individual expression—while fostering advancements in sculpture, architecture, and scholarship.
