Chapter 1: Greek Bodies in Art - Drawings and Statues

In order to truly understand what you are striving for with building a Greek physique, it is important to understand the history behind the ideal Greek body, as it is a rich and vibrant one.

First off, the Greek empire existed from 800 BC to 146 BC, about three thousand years ago.

Even though it was so long ago, ancient Greek culture is still influencing civilizations around the world, including the modern-day health and fitness culture.

A major theme in Greek art throughout the centuries has been to maintain good order and form.

The goal with any piece of art is to draw the eye and keep it by presenting something that makes sense to the eye and to the brain.

By using subjects that have perfect proportions, the human eye will constantly be drawn to looking at a figure, statue or piece of art.

One reason was that the ancient Greeks wanted to have the reputation of being a strong and conquering society portrayed by an ideal Greek body.

Although modern day Greece is very different today than what it used to be, the ancient Greek empire reached all the way to what is now considered the Middle East.

The ancient Greek citizens were considered some of the most fearsome warriors of their time and war was constantly glorified.

The ancient Greeks were very proud of their society and they expressed it through their art by creating Greek Gods with ideal eye-catching proportions.

The strong and pioneering Greek soldiers’ body became a model as the ideal Greek.

What is interesting and often forgotten in modern society is that the ancient Greeks manufactured these ideal images in the likeness of Gods in which they have never actually met.

Just like in all religions, the idea of God is just that, an idea.

Although Gods are just figures in a person’s imagination, the human mind simply creates an image that it finds appealing and this is something the ancient Greeks were very good at.

The ancient Greeks were very good at developing these ideal Gods that reflected their warrior like society and they were very proud of these ideal Gods.

Although the ancient Greeks creation of Gods and superhuman figures were not born out of reality but out of imagination, the Greeks believed it was their DUTY to uphold and live up
