Answer:

Realism and religious

Step-by-step explanation:

Characteristics: Ancient Greek sculpture is characterized by being the first deviation from typical standards of sculpture during that time period. They strove for realism, often seeking idealism in their sculptures, recreating the human figure as accurately and as perfect as possible.

Purpose: primary purpose of Greek sculptures, at least initially, was religious. They were the temple centerpieces and their production cost rivaled or exceeded that of the temple which housed them
