Plato argued that every object on Earth had an ideal form
The work of ancient Greek artists and architects reflected a similar concern with balance, order, and beauty

Greek architects sought to convey a sense of perfect balance to reflect the harmony and order of the universe
The most famous example of Greek architecture is the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena

The basic plan of the Parthenon is a simple rectangle, with tall columns supporting a gently sloping roof
The delicate curves and placement of the columns add dignity and grace

Early Greek sculptors carved figures in stiff, lifeless poses, similar in style to the art of ancient Egypt
By 450 B.C., however, Greek sculptors had developed a new style that emphasized more natural forms

While their work was lifelike, it was also idealistic
That is, sculptors carved gods, goddesses, athletes, and famous men in a way that showed human beings in their most perfect, graceful form
