The ancient cultures of Greece and Rome have had enormous reverberations throughout history, even to the present day. In fact, many of the major themes shaping these ancient art forms (worship of an ideal athletic human body, "everything in moderation", reverence for logic and mathematical harmonies, praise of individualism, democracy) are not only familiar, but powerful factors in shaping contemporary images and art forms.
For this entry, compare and contrast a contemporary image from popular media to a work or artifact from Aegean, Ancient Greek, Etruscan, or Roman culture that expresses a similar theme or cultural value. The contemporary image could be an advertisement, journal photo, political photo, movie poster, etc. Compare and contrast the formal similarities and differences between the two images.
