Ovid's influence on Renaissance literature

# data[].attributes.body
Ovid was a Roman poet (43 BCE- 17CE) who was heavily influential on Renaissance writers, in particular William Shakespeare. Ovid is noted especially for such works as Ars Amatoria and Metamorphoses. Such works as these are steeped in "imaginative interpretations of classical myths" and many humanists throughout the Renaissance period looked to Ovid to recreate ancient modes of thought and feeling.

Did you know that Kit Harrington was named after Christopher Marlowe? Neither did I butt (hehe) it says so on his Wikipedia page.
As you probably do know, Harrington recently portrayed the good doctor himself in a 2016 production of Faustus, where he bared his buns on stage.
So while you read the play you too can imagine John Faustus as having a bottom carved of marble. (You're welcome Kate :)

The University of Wittenberg (Universität Wittenberg) was founded in 1502 by Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. Under the influence of Philipp Melanchthon, building on the works of Martin Luther, the university became a centre of the Protestant Reformation, even incorporating, at one point in time, Luther's house in Wittenberg, the Lutherhaus, as part of the campus. Notable attendees include George Müller, Georg Joachim Rheticus and – in fiction – William Shakespeare's Prince Hamlet and Horatio and Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus.
(Wikipedia - emphasis added)

"Trevor Nunn.. attached great importance to Hamlet's university education at Wittenberg. It was the Lutheran university and Hamlet would have returned to the Catholic society of Elsinore impregnated by the 'new philosophy'."

Seneca’s Influence on Renaissance Literature, Exampled by Baruch Spinoza. 

# data[].attributes.body
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4BC - 65AD) was a stoic Greek philosopher whose blank-verse, five-act revenge tragedies inspired many minds throughout the Renaissance. The influence of Seneca’s early plays can be found in the work of Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677), a Dutch philosopher whose views and ideologies captured the essence of a Seneca-inspired mind during the Renaissance period. Primarily, in the idea of rethinking religion in order to move it away from divine superstition in favour of reason, knowledge, and enlightenment. Such doctrines would flourish in the Renaissance, inspiring the likes of Christopher Marlowe, in his play Dr Faustus.
Attached are depictions of both Seneca and, a paragon of his influence, Spinoza.
