tragedies. Tragedy depicts the downfall of a noble
hero or heroine, usually through some combination
of hubris [excessive pride or self-confidence], fate,
and the will of the gods. The tragic hero's powerful
wish to achieve some goal inevitably encounters
limits, usually those of human frailty (flaws in
reason, hubris, society), the gods (through oracles,
prophets, fate), or nature.
Indian Epics
Mahabharata is the epic tale of a quarrel between the Pandavas and the Kauravas that culminated in a fight. Ramayana Sanskrit epic by Valmiki, based on the story of Rama, son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya. The main message from these two great epics lie broadly on righteousness, good conduct, dharma, fearlessness, dedication and duty i.e. the good qualities one should base their life upon
Sculptural developments Greco-Roman and Buddhist beliefs
Greco-Buddhist art is a cultural syncretism [combination of different forms of beliefs] between the Classical Greek culture and Buddhism, which developed over a period of close to 1000 years in Central Asia, between the conquests of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE, and the Islamic conquests of the 7th century CE. Greco-Buddhist art is characterized by the strong idealistic realism and sensuous description and of Hellenistic art and the first representations of the Buddha in human form, which have helped define the artistic (and particularly, sculptural) canon for Buddhist art throughout the Asian continent up to the present. It is also a strong example of cultural syncretism between eastern and western traditions.
