Many of traditional Greek art work was based on naturalistic theories and would tell of how things were created or who created them (their gods) and many of the times when these were projected on they're artwork they would sculpt their gods out of stone (extremely realistically) doing something that they thought they would be doing (Apollo playing music, Artemis hunting etc.) and most of the time they would be either unde (<--it wont let me say the actual word but switch the n and the u) or in little clothing, which is somewhat the same as what Michelangelo Bunarroti's artwork.
