sculptures of gods

 

The ninth page gives the information on gradation of bodies in hierarchy of gods of the Greek mythology and numbers of Pythagorean numerology, and also compares bodies of gods to somatic types Yin and Yang.

Morphological types and gods of the Greek mythology.
Human morphology and sculptures of gods.
Forms of a body and numbers of Pythagorean numerology.

Antique Greek sculptures were kept not so many, but according to known archeological artifacts it is possible to present images of gods and types of their bodies. Or possible to present images of gods according to art works of other epoch as artists and sculptors at all times aspired to represent divine proportions of a human body and addressed to mythological images of the Ancient Greece. But it is necessary to consider that diverse works of art not always correspond to the valid images of gods as are connected with art plans and representations of those or other artists, but however among many works of art it is possible to see images which correspond to the validity.
Original Greek and Roman sculptures too not always correspond to the validity as frequently sculptors represented identical type of a body according to a uniform proportional canon, and did not consider distinctions which are caused by different characteristics of gods, namely sculptors did not consider ratio of different psychological properties with different forms of bodies. Therefore there are doubtful Greek and Roman sculptures incommensurable to characteristics of gods, but however there are sculptures in which the valid mythological images of gods are embodied.
In days of the Athenian democracy and during Pythagorean days the essence of sculptural images consist in creation of images of gods and heroes whose bodies expressed divine beauty and harmony that assumed conformity of sculptural forms to different psychological characteristics which are connected with bodies of people and gods. But Greece became empire of Alexander the Great and then Roman empire during history, and as a result sculptural images changed and found ideological sense. Instead of attributes of divine beauty in sculptural forms there were unified images which corresponded to public consciousness that identified people with representations about beauty which seem comprehensible from the point of view of imperial ideology. As a result there were doubtful images deformed by incorrect understanding of divine principles according to which forms of bodies are display of characters and psychological features. Therefore it is necessary to perceive antique sculptures and other works of art critically, but it is possible to consider sculptural forms in which types of bodies correspond to psychological characteristics of gods in myths.
Each god was personification of a real image for ancient Greeks and consequently each god had own body and characteristics which corresponded to a body. Or it is possible to tell that individual characteristics of gods associated with forms of bodies in consciousness of ancient Greeks.
Hence, it is possible to consider ancient Greek sculptures as samples of bodies and it is possible to correlate to morphological types, namely it is possible to correlate characteristics of gods to parameters which are caused by weight and growth. And also it is possible to correlate numbers of Pythagorean numerology to morphological types as the Greek gods correspond with numbers.
Pythagorean numerological number six means a person whose psychological features are caused by high growth and massive body. Such person can be compared with Zeus in the Greek mythology.
Zeus is the Supreme Olympic deity whose body is the most significant among other gods.
Zeus is identified with the bull that carries out authority above the world by means of force.
Pythagorean numerological number one means a person whose psychological features are caused by high growth and normal weight of a body. Such person can be compared with Ares in the Greek mythology.
Ares is a god of war. He is strong and violent, but force of Ares is not too great as sometimes he loses in battles. Namely the normal weight of a body does not allow to be stronger than those who has massive type of a body.
Aphrodite is attractive for Ares as both possess normal weight of bodies.
Pythagorean numerological number eight means a person whose psychological features are caused by high growth and light weight of a body. Such person can be compared to Apollo in the Greek mythology.
Apollo is a god of art and art inspiration. Hes high growth seems impressive and terrible but the light body seems refined and graceful. In myths there is an information that women often reject Apollo, and in particular he is rejected by Daphne who is the nymph and Artemis's satellite, as it is possible to assume that Apollo's light body seems insufficient for Artemis, or Apollo's high growth is disproportionate to short growth of Artemis. But however Apollo is the regent of Olympic Muses who possess light and high bodies.
Pythagorean numerological number seven means a person whose psychological features are caused by medium growth and massive body. Such person can be compared with Hephaestus in the Greek mythology.
Hephaestus is a god of fire and craft. He is the skilful master and the inventor. Body of Hephaestus is the ugliest among Olympic gods. Apparently, medium growth is disproportionate to massive body and consequently image of Hephaestus seems ordinary (pejorative). Therefore Zeus throw down Hephaestus on the ground that is connected with a seeming ordinary image.
Hephaestus has the wife Aphrodite whose beauty is caused by normal weight of a body.
Aphrodite is the most beautiful goddess and consequently other gods perceive matrimonial attitudes of Hephaestus and Aphrodite as disproportionate as her beauty is not in harmony with weight of a body and ordinary image of the husband. And in particular Ares perceives mutual relations of Hephaestus with Aphrodite as disproportionate.
Pythagorean numerological number five means a person whose psychological features are caused by medium growth and normal weight of a body. Such person can be we compared with Athena in the Greek mythology.
Athena is the goddess of wisdom and powerful validity. Athena possesses the most proportional body among all gods and consequently her power surpasses power of Zeus. Namely all gods feel the perfect proportions of Athena and her authority above other gods consists in it as nobody can be equal to Athena and each god feels own imperfection in mutual relations with Athena.
Her touch allocates people with unusual beauty.
Athena had the favorite Odyssey whose proportions of a body are comparable to proportional parameters of Athena as she has touched Odyssey during the moment of a birth.
Pay attention that images of gods and goddesses can be inherent in men and women. Namely men can have morphological types identical to goddesses, and women can have morphological types identical to gods.
Pythagorean numerological number three means a person whose psychological features are caused by medium growth and light weight of a body. Such person can be compared to Hermes in the Greek mythology.
Hermes is a messenger of gods. Hermes's body is the most mobile among other gods and consequently he is the messenger.
Pythagorean numerological number two means a person whose psychological features are caused by short growth and massive body. Such person can be compared to Artemis in the Greek mythology.
Artemis is a sister twin of Apollo.
Sometimes in myths the image of Artemis was identified with the she-bear, but also was identified with brother Apollo. Therefore in some cases her body represented as high and light in sculptures, but however a low and massive image of the she-bear or goddesses-mothers is authentic, as Artemis is personification of the moon and Apollo is personification of the sun.
It is possible to tell that Artemis possesses dual image that corresponds with the number two in numerology.
Pythagorean numerological number nine means a person whose psychological features are caused by short growth and normal weight of a body. Such person can be compared to Aphrodite in the Greek mythology.
Aphrodite is a goddess of love and beauty. Her body is the most nice and is attractive for all gods that differs from the image of Athena whose proportional beauty bewitches but frightens and inspires feeling of own imperfection.
Aphrodite is especially attractive for Ares as both possess normal weight of bodies, but high growth of Ares in the combination to normal weight seems haughty and it is not pleasant to other gods, and short growth of Aphrodite is not extolled above other gods that causes sympathy. Harmony is born from union of Ares with Aphrodite.
Pythagorean numerological number four means a person whose psychological features are caused by short growth and light weight of a body. Such person can be compare with Hera in the Greek mythology.
Hera is the spouse Zeus.
Her short growth and ligt body are compensated by high growth and massive weight of Zeus and as a result Hera is very significant goddess among Olympic gods.
Zeus had a prediction that his authority will be overthrown by own children, and consequently Hera possesses a priority among other wives as her morphological type of a body does not allow to give birth to a child with weight and growth which are sufficient for overthrow of Zeus.
The additional information on ancient Greek mythology and ratio of numbers in numerology with mythological images of gods look on pages of other website: www.numeralgame.64g.ru/num1en.htm
Besides it is necessary to consider somatic types of bodies, namely it is necessary to correlate bodies of gods to somatic types Yin and Yang, that is shown in the table:

table for bodies of gods in myths and somatic types Yin and Yang To each number in numerology there correspond mythological gods who are comparable to types Yin and Yang.
Number 6.
Zeus is Yang and Poseidon is Yin.
Number 1.
Ares is Yang and Eris is Yin.
Number 8.
Apollo is Yang and Dionysus is Yin.
Number 7.
Prometheus is Yang and Hephaestus is Yin.
Number 5.
Athena unites both of somatic type.
Or Athena corresponds with type Yang, and with type of a body Yin there corresponds Harmony who is daughter of Ares and Aphrodite.
Number 3.
Hermes Propillar is Yang and Hermes Trismegistus is Yin.
Number 2.
Artemis is Yang and Hecate is Yin.
Number 9.
Aphrodite Dione is Yang and Aphrodite Urania is Yin.
Number 4.
Hera is Yang and Leto is Yin.

On pages of other website www.numeralgame.64g.ru/annum/annum1en.htm look the detailed information on gods of the Greek mythology and numbers in numerology, and also look the information on ratio of numbers and gods with psychological types of a human person in a context of analytical psychology of C.G.Yung. And accordingly look the information according to which it is possible to correlate morphological and somatic types of human bodies to psychological types of analytical psychology, and in essence it is possible to identify belonging of people to those or other psychological types by means of morphological analyses.

The given information has enough for analyses of forms of human bodies and for description of psychological properties of a human person, and also for analyses of mutual relations of people. Ratio of body forms with global world categories of space, time, matter, energy, and also comparison of human bodies with mythological images of gods allows to do set of conclusions about human nature.
The offered system of human constitutions allows to analyze morphological and somatic types according to parameters and sizes of a body as a whole, and types of body builds according to sizes of separate levels of a body, that allows to consider complex ratio according to which psychological properties are displayed in forms of human bodies. But the offered system is not universal as other number of formal levels can be allocated in a human body, and more detailed systems can be accordingly used. But however it is enough to consider 9 morphological types and 2 somatic types, and also enough to consider 4 levels in frontal projections and 6 levels of a body in lateral projections that allows to identify 16 and 64 types of builds, and allows to correlate forms of a body to symbols of the canon of changes i-jing and numerological numbers which are convenient mathematical model.
