are above it. He simply notes that Death depends
on many things in order to succeed (i. e. fate,
chance, kings and desperate men). He also mentions
that there are many other things that can cause
death and would actually be more pleasant (i. e.
poison, war, sickness and poppy) as compared to
the sword of Dea...

people multiplied, the world bellowed like a wild
bull, and the great god was aroused. The idea

of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. The Middle
Ages was a time of great suffering, including
famine and widespread disease. The Renaissance,
