Profane Art | Mimesis in Classical Greece

The Ancient Greeks developed an innovative culture; a society of thoughtful individuals engaged in persuasive argument, the first to discern that the world was a rational order, that the unique faculty of man – that of reason – allowed him to come to know it. This catalyzed an enormous outpouring of advancement in philosophy, mathematics, science as well as the arts, including painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and theater.
