1) Keats was strongly influenced by Greek culture and ideals known as Hellenism. He admired Greek sculptures, art, mythology, and literature which were reflected in his poetry. 2) In his poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn", Keats personifies the urn and describes the frozen scenes depicted on it that will remain unchanged for eternity, reflecting the Greek view of capturing moments in time. 3) For Keats, beauty and truth were closely intertwined, as they were for the Greeks. He believed in focusing on beauty rather than attempting to escape from reality. Keats can be seen as continuing the spread of Greek culture and ideals through his poetry.
