 | | Those statues which had survived did so primarily because they had been buried and forgotten, or as in the case of bronzes having been lost at sea. | | | Later, heads of heroes of Greek mythology were used. | | | The great majority of Greek buildings have not survived to this day: either they had been pillaged in war, had been looted for building materials or had been destroyed in Greece’s many earthquakes. |

| | The stories told in Greek art and literature of gods and heroes have been retold ever since and continue to form a common ground for the art, literature, and even popular culture of the Western world. | | | Historians have divided Greek history into periods that are in some ways based on individual judgment, and the names and dates of those periods vary from one account to another. | | | Many of the Greek gods (see Greek Mythology) were first worshiped in the Mycenaean age, and the remains of Mycenaean architecture and other artifacts fueled the imagination of later Greeks. |

| | The ancient Greeks lived in a world filled with divine and semi-divine beings. | | | Representations of all these beings are found in Greek art: in temples or in public spaces, on everyday objects of bronze, ceramic, and precious materials. | | | Greek artists moved toward an expression based on observation of living beings and refinement of anatomical elements. |

| | There is some doubt as to whether the statuette represents a Greek or a Roman actor; the majority of scholars believe it to be Roman. | | | The Greek theater reached its most famous and most familiar architectural form only in the Hellenestic period (roughly, mid-fourth to mid-first century B.C.)--ironically, some time after its chief poets were dead. | | | He is most frequently identified as the god of wine (as here, where on the vase he is painted apparently in a state of intoxication), but he has also been associated with masks and the theater (Dionysos was the patron deity of Greek theater), with ivy, and with transsexuality. |
