 Rhetoric and Poetry in the Renaissance, by Donald Lemen Clark, Ph.D.
This rhetorical terminology was derived from three sources: directly to some extent from the classical rhetorics themselves; indirectly through the influence of classical rhetoric upon the terminology of the Italian critics of poetry; and indirectly, to a considerable extent, through the mediæval modifications of classical and post-classical rhetoric.
Whereas classical rhetoric deals with speeches which might be delivered to convict or acquit a defendant in the law court, or to secure a certain action by the deliberative assembly, or to adorn an occasion, classical poetic deals with lyric, epic, and drama.
By far the greater bulk of classical treatises on poetic is devoted to characterization and to the technic of plot construction, involving as it does narrative and dramatic unity and movement as distinct from logical unity and movement.

In any single empirical instance only one member of the classical component of the statistical ensemble is actually present, but all of the members of the quantum superposition that are forced to be present by the uncertainty principle are necessarily all present simultaneously, until a reduction occurs.
Within the classical approximation to quantum mechanics the predictions of the classical and quantum theories are the same.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Physics by Aristotle
Similarly the void can bear no ratio to the full, and therefore neither can movement through the one to movement through the other, but if a thing moves through the thickest medium such and such a distance in such and such a time, it moves through the void with a speed beyond any ratio.
For let Z be void, equal in magnitude to B and to D. Then if A is to traverse and move through it in a certain time, H, a time less than E, however, the void will bear this ratio to the full.
From what has been said it is evident, then, that void does not exist either separate (either absolutely separate or as a separate element in the rare) or potentially, unless one is willing to call the condition of movement void, whatever it may be.

 Diagnosing the Three Levels of Imbalance. Acupuncture Today, August 2005
Each of the elements has a corresponding odor, color, sound, and emotion, which can be perceived when a particular element is out of balance.
As the elemental imbalance does not change to another element during a person's life, neither does the affected level, though it can be strengthened, harmonized, and restored by proper treatment.
I liken a mental level person to the classic television character, Lucy Ricardo, on "I love Lucy." Her schemes were hair-brained and often ridiculous and illogical, but there was never a question of her giving up.

In this sense, it is usual to say that Wordsworth's "Michael" is classical, or that Goethe's "Hermann and Dorothea" is classical; though Wordsworth may be celebrating the virtues of a Westmoreland shepherd, and Goethe telling the story of two rustic lovers on the German border at the time of the Napoleonic wars.
Thus he announces that "the peculiarity of the classic style is reserve, self-suppression of the writer"; while "the romantic is self-reflecting." "Clear, unimpassioned, impartial presentation of the subject.
Even Milton, the greatest scholar among English poets, but whose imagination was a strong agent, holding strange elements in solution, incurred their censure for bringing Saint Peter and the sea-nymphs into dangerous juxtaposition in "Lycidas."

In a fantasy campaign world, the classic chain of events starts with a god (or demigod, or lesser god, or deity, or immortal - feel free to change the terminology to fit your favorite campaign world) deciding, for his own reasons, to declare a war on another god.
Another element of classical fantasy is that a god derives his might from his followers and their devotion, which could create an interesting magical circle in such a situation.
Basically, the idea is to take the points of similarity between the losing and the winning religion and to emphasize them at the expense of the points of difference.

 Supplemental Bibliography Part 1
A computationally efficient pile element and the relevant finite element algorithm were developed to model laterally loaded piles in ice/permafrost, by modelling the pile as a beam supported by a spring-dashpot system.
A numerical method involving plane strain finite element analyses of laterally loaded rigid cores in frozen media was proposed to derive the appropriate spring and dashpot relationships for the pile element.
A finite element program based on this method is then developed which generates the pile displacements, bending moments, shear loads and frozen soil reactions along the pile as a function of time.

If we knew the arrangement of the world in the present, said Pierre Simon Laplace, ‘nothing would be uncertain and the future, as the past, would be present to (our)…eyes.’ This feature of classical mechanics in called determinism and, as one might expect, troubled many people over the existence of their free will.
