I have a theory

>>2350500
ok. but you have a hypothesis not a theory

>>2350505
Don't play semantics or steal my """""hypothesis""""'' thanks!

So your hypothesis is that Greeks were literally never warm?

>>2350553
Why are you purposely misinterpreting what I said, brainlet?

>>2350500
Greece is warm.

So in short op is a Greek dicklette.

Why are you not considering what I'm saying and simply shitposting?

Is this what happens when reddit is allowed to post here?

>>2350500
My hypothesis is that marble tends to shrink if you carve it to look like a penis,slowly, over the centuries.

No, they have small dicks because sculpture makers would hate if they wasted months of their life only to have everyone just look at the large dick instead of his work.

The dicks are small so you focus solely on the statue itself.

>>2350875
I still focus on the dicks. It doesn't work.

I once heard the greeks thought that having a small dick meant you were smart and having a big dick meant you were stupid, so people admired small dicks as a fashionable thing.

Ancient Greeks did not mind having statues with small dicks, because they only thought a barbarian would put emphasis on genitals.

Ancient Greeks did not give a single fuck about either barbarians opinions or womens opinions for that matter, whom they mostly considered sub-human. What they did think was important was the "agon", that is competition between males in both matters of the body as in those of the spirit.

This is why all ancient Greek statues are not real life castings, but highly idealised forms of what teh Greeks considered to be symmetrical and harmonious. Hence all of their statues are symmetrical, they have straight noses, are well formed, are all muscled etc.

It was the Roman hodge podge culture of at the same time vulgar realism, and copy paste laziness that ended Greek plastic arts.

We meds are a petite people who appreciate the finer things of the phallus as opposed to being some smelly grotesque large penised nigger.

Unlike semites, Blacks or Nordcucks we don't value a large shlong so much as a good shlong.

Why would you not idealize in sculpture? What's the point in celebrating the average?

Gravitas.

Ancient Greece was a very masculine culture and part of being a man was the ability to control ones desires. A man who could not was seen as someone not worthy of respect. They made them smaller than normal to demonstrate that this was truly a man with self control and not a beast.

I'm Aristophanes's play, "the clouds", He describes an ideal man as having "a good chest, a clear complexion, broad shoulders, a moderate tongue, sturdy buttocks, and a small genteel penis.”

Even in portraits representative of real people, features are pronounced and idealized. They are supposed to be flattering, after all.
Also, there is nothing average about Caesar. You wouldn't find such a sculpture of just any old schmuck.
Point is, art is, and always has been a celebration of that which is grand.

>>2351449
There's nothing remarkable about Caesar's appearance. It is history and his accomplishments that makes him look great. I'm pretty sure that was the idea behind sculpting him "warts and all". It was a capture of the man, myth, legend, rather than his features.

>>2351468
That's what I mean. If art is not a celebration of aesthetics, then it is of meaning.

Cont...

Only an ideal man/God was able to control his sexual desires. Take for example this sculpture of Silenus, a Greek satyr and minor God of drunkeness. He has exaggerated undesirable Beastly qualities; hooves, donkey ears, a horses tail, pig like nose and less desirable man qualities like receding Hairline and a look of stupidity on his face. The big penis is viewed as another one of these negative qualities that this was not someone to aspire to.

>>2350500
The pensions are obviously so small on Ancient Greek statues so that other parts of the statue can be looked at. If the penis was too big then people would only look at that and appreciate other parts such as the main body and face.

>>2350500
>I have a theory
No, you don't.

It's a thesis, and not even a hypothesis.

>tfw dick is 8" and i will never look like greek statue

>>2351447
>sturdy buttocks

what did he mean by this?

Greek statues have perfectly normal sized, masculine human penises. People today have been brainwashed by porn into thinking that people with these monstrous 5-6"+ penises are the average.

>>2351682

This is probably my favorite piece of Greek art, or Roman if it's not a copy of the Greeks.

>>2350500
Greece is fucking hot, though.

Nice dubs btw

>>2351682
>impossible physique
>realistic penis

bruh they were expressing ideals and small dick is part of that

>>2351737
LAOCOON DID NOTHING WRONG

>>2350500
>the clothing and climate resulted in men walking around with shriveled cocks and everyone took this to be the average size
So no one in ancient Greek knew men had erections

Go outside man. Your penis shrinks if it is exposed. Contraction.

>>2350500

thats all neat, but no

it was stylisation, it was part of the cannon, everything had some meta meaning and they didnt do sculptures with big dick because such reasons, besides, these were publick sculptures, the nakednes was symbolic or alegorical or this and that excuse but they still needed a control factor so they wouldnt go full /d/

Shut the fuck up you stupid frogposter

>>2351682
That's not normal sized though, that's a rather small one.

/his/ was a mistake

>>2350500
these cocks were flaccid, not erect. greeks weren't hugachaga niggers
