Is the Greek god body the most attractive male body known to mankind?

I have been reading a lot about Greek god bodies and many state online that it is the most attractive body as it places its emphasis on upper chest muscle and shoulder development with abs .
I have seen some Greek god statues online and yes they are very attractive

I would therefore like to hear from the forum members on thier views of the Greek God body .

    Not to me. I prefer climber's bodies - more lean.

    Greek gods are the best, especially if they have super powers.

    Google Golden Ratio male anatomy, and you'll have your answer.

    An example of what you're referring to would be helpful. You mean like this?

    (I had to look for one with no male bits exposed :lol: )

    The Discobolus isn't a god of course; he's an athlete. To me he doesn't look all that different from modern athletes who engage in the same kind of sports.

    Or maybe he might as well be a god. Ancient Greeks depicted their gods as idealized, athletic young men -- if they were supposed to be older you just slapped a beard onto their faces -- and it wouldn't be too surprising if sculptors worked from life at least occasionally.

    Perhaps they just look small because the muscles are SO big.

    Nah. Anabolic steroids and Photoshop weren't invented yet when the Greek Gods existed.


    [ETA:] And they should give that dude his lats back.

    His lats are fine, just insert a little high.


    As for the question...dunno...won't stop me trying to attain the look regardless of the answer.

    I've just been reading an article about how classical sculptures reinforce racism and white supremacy.

    Worth considering, how our view of no-longer painted sculptures helps to reinforce a 'white-is-pure' ideal.

    edited to add - the use of white marble to carve many of the sculptures (or at least the ones that remain, others may have been terracotta and bronze and have not survived) was most likely due to the fact that it is a readily available material easy to carve.
