Did you know? Many of the sculptures from the Parthenon are on display at the British Museum in London. They are known as the Elgin Marbles.

There are four distinct styles of ancient Greek art: Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. The Greek Dark Ages, which lasted for 200 years before the Geometric Age began, are commonly referred to as the Geometric Era, but little is actually known about Greek art from that time period.
There aren't many classical statues or sculptures still in existence today. Stone statues were easily broken, and metal ones were frequently melted down and reused as new. Greek sculptors of the 5th and the 4th centuries, such as Phidias and Polykleitos, were well-versed in applying the principles of anatomical perspective to human form, just as their Roman counterparts did. Classical-period statues of humans appeared more natural than their predecessors, who appeared awkward and staged. There was even realism in their expressions.
