Its focus was on religion and Christianity. It included architectural details like stained glass art, large murals on walls and domed ceilings, and carvings on buildings and columns. It also included illuminated manuscript art and sculpture.

Medieval art was mostly religious and concerned with conveying Christian beliefs and values. Renaissance art was less focused on religion and more focused on the daily life of people. The biggest difference between Renaissance art and Medieval art was the focus on artistic realism.

Medieval Religion. In Europe during the Medieval times the only recognised religion was Christianity, in the form of the Catholic religion. The lives of the Medieval people of the Middle Ages was dominated by the church.

Before the spread of Christianity, Europe was home to a profusion of religious beliefs, most of which are pejoratively referred to as paganism. The word derives from the Latin paganus meaning ‘of the countryside,’ essentially calling them hicks or bumpkins. Some of these pre-Christian belief systems are listed below.

Sometimes called the official religion of ancient Persia, Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest surviving religions, with teachings older than Buddhism, older than Judaism, and far older than Christianity or Islam. Zoroastrianism is thought to have arisen “in the late second millennium B.C.E.

The word Hindu is an exonym, and while Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma (Sanskrit: सनातन धर्म, lit.

In ancient Egyptian Atenism, possibly the earliest recorded monotheistic religion, this deity was called Aten and proclaimed to be the one “true” Supreme Being and creator of the universe. In the Hebrew Bible and Judaism, the names of God include Elohim, Adonai, YHWH (Hebrew: יהוה‎) and others.

Dionysus

I would say that the first line of demigods started with Cadmus, the son of Poseidon, founder of Thebes. After him came Perseus, the son of Zeus, who was also the ancestor of Heracles. However, if you consider, Dionysus was born a demigod before he became one of the Olympians.

Q: If two demigods had a child, would that child be a quarter-blood, a demigod, or what? A: Most half-bloods at Camp Half-Blood don’t live long enough to have children. If they did have children, the kids would probably pass for normal mortals, since the godly powers get diluted with each generation.

While the offspring of a god and a mortal is called a demigod or half-blood, the child, grandchild, etc. of a demigod is called a legacy. The word demigod literally means “half-god”.

True demigods are extremely rare, and most people believe they don’t exist at all, since any sort of “genetic” (not quite DNA, but close enough) traces can’t be distinguished between angelic, fey, or demonic heritage, and so there’s no reason to believe godly heritage would be any different.
