I mean that in Ancient times didn't that Greeks believe that there was a certain ideal form to every thing?What standards of beauty did the Greeks follow?
Actually, WE follow the Greek Ideal of Beauty. The way we know this is through art. Our figures in art are drawn usually 7.5 heads tall, the same the Greek's drew them, so we know that we today follow the ideas of art set out by the Greeks. Of course many other things such as color theory and perspective were discovered later, much later, but our perspective on the human figure was the same as theirs.What standards of beauty did the Greeks follow?
The Greeks were leaders in the cultural development of beauty and art. They liked to indulge in pleasure as well. Very well known for their bath houses, grape wraps for skin smoothing, euclyptus leaves for cleansing and rosemary for detoxification. Their philosopers, like Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, were all poets as well.
They loved music and always had a musician available who sang to them their philosophies. The artifacts you can find on-line at www.history.com They have many statues that were to define their beliefs and form their heritage into a culture.
The same ones as now.
I think if you can find some examples of ancient greek art you can gt a good idea of thier standard of beauty was.
