I think Alexander The Great did not deserve the title the Great. I think Alexander was a terrible leader, had bad character traits and only carried about himself.

Those figures already had movement and emotion. For instance, Statue of a Gaulish Chieftain (Roman copy of a bronze statue from Pergamon, Turkey ca. 230-220 BCE), also called Ludovisi Gaul. According to Boardman, this figure was “thought to be a copy of a bronze original which formed part of a monument set up in Pergamum in the…

The early Greek artists deviated from the previous conventional methods of sculpting human figures. They had a growing interest in representing art that takes on a more lifelike image.
