Ancient Greek culture was polytheistic, believing in gods that resembled humans but with special powers. Their religion also included heroes that were part human and part god. Greek art progressed from rigid archaic sculptures to more realistic classical and Hellenistic sculptures that showed emotion. Greek architecture was designed for ideal beauty, using stone and marble to create buildings with columns and double-sloped roofs.
