Ancient Greek sculptures were primarily made from materials like marble and bronze, rather than limestone and cement. While some sculptures and architectural elements used limestone, marble was favored for its durability and aesthetic qualities. Cement, as we understand it today, was not used in the same way during ancient Greek times; instead, they employed other binding materials for construction. Overall, marble and bronze were the dominant materials for Greek sculptures.

All men were very fit, with bulging muscles and very strong. All women were extremely beautiful and graceful.
