Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book explores and re-evaluates the traditional muscular hero-figure and the origins of the western ideal of a perfectible body, developed from the pagan bodily ideals of ancient Greece. It illustrates the evolution of this ideal into the visual language of bodybuilders and strippers.
