Summary

This quote suggests that what we perceive as ideal or unreal in Greek or any form of art was thought to be real and tangible by the creators themselves. It highlights the subjective nature of beauty and perception, implying that our understanding of what is ideal may differ from past artists who considered their creations to be genuine representations of reality. It reminds us that the interpretation and appreciation of art can vary across time and individuals, challenging the notion of objective truths in artistic expression.
