Archiac Period
The Greeks did, but so too did the Romans who copied them.
Architecture, sculpture and painting.
Michelangelo admired the sculpture technique of the Ancient Greeks. While he was working in Rome, he would often spend time admiring and looking at a sculpture called "Laocoön and His Sons". He thought it was genial. If you pull up an image of this sculpture you'll see why, it really is marvelous.
The Ancient Greeks strove to show the beauty of the human form as realisticly as possible. The 'David' exemplifies this in the muscle tone and high realism.
Greek statues were naturalistic, while the Egyptian ones were stylised. Roman sculpture in the Republican period was highly realistic portraiture (busts). In the period of rule by emperors the Romans adopted full bodied statues and they were modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.
The period that represents the Greeks' first attempts at carving stone is the Archaic period, which lasted from around 800 to 480 BCE. During this time, sculptors began to develop techniques for representing the human figure in stone, leading to the creation of the iconic kouros and kore statues. These early works often featured stylized forms and rigid poses, reflecting the cultural values and artistic conventions of the time.

Roman sculpture did not change much in the later empire. The major changed occurred in the early empire, when it shifted to the realistic portraiture sculpture (busts) to idealised full body sculptures modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.
The creation of monsters in Greek mythology represents the embodiment of chaos, fear, and the unknown. These creatures often serve as metaphors for human struggles, moral dilemmas, and the dangers of hubris. Additionally, monsters highlight the boundaries between civilization and barbarism, illustrating the consequences of transgressing societal norms. Ultimately, they reflect the Greeks' attempts to understand and explain the complexities of the human condition.
Figures have strong diagonals and dramatic poses.
Mostly from the Greeks, who influenced the Romans greatly in architecture and sculpture. The Etruscans were also an influence, but to a much lesser extent.
