Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Virgil and Ovid, Roman poets of the classical era, were rediscovered in the late Middle Ages and their works, including the Aeneid and Metamorphoses, had a significant impact on European art and literature. Dante and Petrarch, while influential in their own right, were not known for their revival of classical mythology. Euripides and Sophocles were ancient Greek playwrights whose works were not widely rediscovered until the Renaissance. Plato and Aristotle were ancient Greek philosophers whose works also had a significant impact on European thought, but they did not focus on classical mythology in the same way as Virgil and Ovid.
