Why are there statues of greek gods which depict a human being but there was never a human found for instance Zeus?
According to Greek myth, when Prometheus made man, he wanted to give them a special gift. But his brother, Epimetheus, had given all the gifts to the other animals that had been made. So, Prometheus, knowing man was special, made him walk upright, in the image of the gods, and gave him fire, such as only the gods themselves could harness.
So, the Greeks made statues of their gods in their own image, since if mankind was made to look like the gods, they must have the same form.
The reality of it is that we create gods in our own image, and the Greek sculptors use the only form they knew, the human form, to represent their gods.
