The art of Greel antiquity is vitally important in that it still determines our definition of what sculpture is. Our present-day techniques are derived from it, and it still serves as a point of references for the use we make of art and the value we ascribe to it. The content is contributed by eminent specialists in Greek sculpture. It serves to rekindle our admiration for these masterpieces. As we review the history of Greek Sculpture, new perspectives open before us.

This lecture will discuss Greek sculptures and some of the ways in which their ideal representations of the male body have shaped the twentieth century strong man and the bodybuilder, particularly in terms of their display of power and sexuality.

A variety of Egyptian and Near Eastern influences helped shape the developing Greek arts, which laid the foundation for the legacy of Western Civilization.
