Many ancient greek artists made artworks to honor

If there are no options offered, I would say the answer is beauty and perfection of the human body. Most Greek sculptures present bodies in all their vigour, beauty, and elegance. Male bodies are usually athletic, slender, captured in action (e.g. The Marathon Youth or The Diskobolos), while female bodies are graciously elegant, nu.de or dressed in rich drapery (e.g. Diane of Gabies). The aesthetic world of Ancient Greeks is anthropomorphic, meaning that humans are considered the perfect creatures, both in body and in mind.

Clay is a good medium to sculpt because its shape can be changed easily
