Greek Sculpture

I had never thought of these realistic sculptures as exaggerated, but now that I watched the video I see that! the postures, the muscles, and the structure overall looks so natural even though it really is not. The accomplishment of naturalism and distortion at the same time is successful.

When the Greek created sculptures of women, how were they portrayed? we know that men were meant to be athletic symbols, were women meant to be symbols of beauty?
