VARIETIES OF GREEK SCUPLTURE
Greek sculpture existed in the two forms of bas-reliefs
and statuary in the round. Reliefs were chiefly used for temple pediments and
friezes, and also for the many grave monuments. Statues consisted of the images
of the gods set up in their shrines, the sculptures dedicated as offerings to
divinities, and the figures of statesmen, generals, and victorious athletes
raised in public places and sanctuaries.
IMPORTANCE OF THE SCULPTOR'S ART
This list will show how many were the opportunities which
the ancient sculptor enjoyed. The service of religion created a constant demand
for his genius. The numerous athletic contests and the daily sports of the
gymnasium gave him a chance to study living models in the handsome,
finely-shaped bodies of the contestants. With such inspiration it is not
remarkable that sculpture reached so high a development in ancient Greece.
