the ideal could not be represented, however, simp;y by a kind of identikit combinationfof features, no matter how well selected, Proportional relationships, called by the Greeks symmetria, were of fundamental importance, especially for staturs. the fifth-century sculptor Polyclitus wrote a treatise on the subject and to illustrate it made a statue now known only from later copies(4.34). The treatise of Canon(meaning rule or law in Greek) is lost, but the Roman Physician Galen or Claudius Galenus (c. AD 130-20) wrote that according to the canon the beauty or perfection of a human figure arises not in the commensurability or symmetria of tis constiuent elements but in the commensurability fo the parts such as that of finger to finger, and of all the fingers to the palm and wrist, and of these to the forearm,and of the forearm to the upper arm and in fact of everything to every thin else , To display these relationships a statue was necessarily nude, and in fifth-century Greece, male, It could also have cosmic significance, man the measure of all things in the ofter quoted words of the stoic philosopher Protagoras (c, BC 480-410). Polyclitus declared that perfection arises from the minute calculation of many numbers which suggests the influence of sixth -century BC Pythagorean philosophers who developed a theory of cosmic proportions derived from the discovery of the relationship between the measurable lengths of the chords of a lyre and audible harmony.
The idealized statues modelled and carved in ancient Greece, much copied in the Roman empire and rediscovered in fifteenth-century Italy became part of the western artistic canon-to use the wird in a different sense, derived from the canonical books of the Bible and now adopted for and accepted body of supposedly major works of art and literature, They also established a criterion of human beauty that has insidiously conditioned the attitudes of Europeans tho themselves and to others, encouraging belief in the eternal law that first in beauty should be first in might , as John Keats put it in Hyperion (1818)
