Beauty is an essential part of any culture throughout human history. The aesthetic appeal of someone or something could not only increase the value of this person or object, but could denote power, prestige or in some cases perfection. Beauty, from an aesthetic and very visual point of view, can be defined by its ability to be pleasing to the eye, one that can inspire admiration and satisfaction. We like what we see and thus, we enjoy beholding that which our eyes perceive. The ancient Greeks were no different from us in this sense and it would be true to say that such ideals from the ancient Greek society (and possibly beyond) have indeed trickled down into our own. After all, it should come as no surprise that in a society where sculptures with bulging biceps, rock hard abs and strongly defined jaws were so highly celebrated that the ancient Greeks were really into their looks. In fact, it would be fair to say that physical appearance in ancient Greece was a pretty big deal and that their notion of what is attractive has certainly left its mark on us today.
