What is the diffences between Greek art and Egyptian art? This answer is specifically about difference between Greek and Egyptian SCULPTURE. First, the Greek sculptors liberated their figures from the original stone block. The Egyptian obsession with permanence was alien to the Greeks, who were preoccupied with finding ways to represent motion rather than stability in their statues. Second, the kouroi are nude, just as Greek athletes competed nude in the Olympic games, and, in the absence of attributes, Greek youths as well as maidens are formally indistinguishable from Greek statues of deities.

What are the similarities between Greek and Roman gods?

Both Greek and Roman gods are the same in essence, but have different aspects. Roman gods were taken from Greek gods, but tend to be more warlike and disciplined. Just like the Greek and Roman cultures, the Roman gods were more warlike, disclipined and honorable. The Greek gods on the other hand, tended to merge into the more artistic creative side. However, the main similarity between Greek and Roman gods is simply this: They are both the gods of whatever they were in the other culture. For example, Hera from Greek myths, is still the goddess of marriage in her Roman aspect, or Juno. Another example is Aphrodite, she is still the goddess of love in her Roman aspect, Venus.
