-The Late Geometric or Archaic from about 750 BC
-The Black Figure from the early 7th century BC
-The Red Figure from about 530 BC
- The Classical period saw changes in the style of sculptures. Poses became more naturalistic. From about 500 BC statues began to describe real people.
The greatest works of the Classical period were the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Statue of Athena Parthenos
- Hellenistic period sculptures portraits of men and women of all ages were made, and sculptors no longer felt obliged to describe people as ideals of beauty or physical perfection.
Best Hellenistic sculptures are:
-The Winged Victory of Samothrace.
- The statue of Aphrodite from the island of Melos, known as the Venus de Milo.
-The Dying Gaul
