their work. Doryphoros, also known as the Spear Bearer, is a marble remake of Polykleitos’s original bronze sculpture circa 450 - 440 BCE. Most ancient Greek statues were made of bronze, and because bronze is so valuable and can easily be melted down to make weapons, very few of the original figures remain. Therefore, our understanding of ancient Greek sculptures come from Roman marble replicas. (Khan Academy) Spear Bearer is nude male figure, or a kouros. Kouri (plural for kouros) were…

The day begins as a sunny day in Ocean city Beach, nothing seemed out of place and it was a normal day. But quickly a giant shadow is cast over the beach and a dragon appears.

Everybody freaks out and start running and the dragon is soaring and stalking his target, the lifeguard. He swoops in, but a large tentacle comes out of the ocean and takes the…

Greek sculpture was diversity. Every period had different style. As we can see, they were improved by time to time. In Hellenistic period, they were already developed. 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.

thousands of people, but many people debate on who is the greater hero. I think that Beowulf is the better modern day hero because he does not let his pride get the best of him.

Jesus is also the son of a god and is essentially his own grandfather. Revelation 22:16 says that Jesus is both the root and…

The Trojan war was fought by men, but the real focal point of the conflict were the actions of the gods and goddesses. It seemed as if no side could gain a decisive edge without some form of divine intervention. Hera and Athena, on countless occasions, did whatever it took to ensure Greek victory…
