As our Greek guide discussed the temples of Zeus and Hera, it became clear that the architects (which included Phideas, the designer of the Parthenon) applied the golden mean of 1:161 that is found in the proportions of the human body, sea life, and throughout nature.

Not only the architects, but the artists. The mainly idealistic sculptures of the classical and helenistic era all exhibit the golden ratio in some form or another, in terms of proportions of the body parts.
