Give two examples of how this cultural value was expressed in the veryday art forms. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The celebration of the human body was a means of honoring the gods. Their pottery and craft work would often depict a hero from Greek mythology like Apollo or Achilles. Since they saw their gods in the "human form" there was no distinction between secular and sacred. Thus the human body was both secular and sacred. |
