hello, probably an odd question but why do ancient geek statues have really developed glutes/butts? is it something about beauty or something about health and fertility I ask about the male status because it's really not common usually people say the female body that the butts look good but what about the male status?
does someone know why that is?
edit: I want to put a link for pictures of ancient greek statues to explain what I meant but idk if it is allowed in here...
Links to images are allowed here! But I think I know the kind of statues you are referring to. The reasons for this could be to look athletic (and heroic) and/or to be sexually appealing. You can read more about it here, as written by u/toldinstone, and on Greek male body ideals in general here by u/Iphikrates. Toldinstone's answer is mainly about Rome, but he begins by discussing the Greeks and further down in the thread a deleted user quotes an interesting example of the sexual appeal of male butts from the Roman-era Greek world
