Abstract

No other anatomical region portrays physical strength, power, and masculinity in men than does the arm and shoulder. Ancient Greek and Roman sculptors and artists were aware of this and magnificently displayed these features in their works. In particular, Greek sculptors gloriously showcased the muscularity of the upper arm and deltoids in their sculptures. Their aim was to show the aesthetic ideals in healthy, athletic males, particularly in characters from Greek mythology, warriors, and ancient rulers.
