About 650 BC, monumental marble statues of young women and men began to be made in Greece. They are known qs “Korai” and “Kouroi”, which in Greek mean “maidens” and “youths”. Commissioned by eminent families, these statues were erected as votive offerings in sanctuaries. They were also erected as monuments over burial mounds. “Munich Kouros” is a statue from a grave in Attica. Heavy proportions and short hair are indicative of an athletic ideal. 540/530 BC.
