Greek statue

Ancient carved figure

A Greek statue is a sculpture from ancient Greece, or one imitating that classical style—idealized human forms in marble or bronze.

The phrase often describes someone standing very still or posing dramatically: He stood there like a Greek statue.

It can also suggest idealized physical beauty, particularly a muscular male physique: He's got a body like a Greek statue.
