Qualities admired by the Greeks included piety, courage, manliness, youth, and physical strength. These qualities are evident in their art and literature, as well as in their language--the Greek word for man is "andros", and the word for courage is "andreia". Various gods also embody these virtues, although the Greek deities had their share of vices.

In Plato's Republic book IV, Socrates defines the four virtues as prudence, temperance, courage, and justice. These four virtues were commonly assumed to be the primary virtues by many Greeks.
