	Early Classical Sculpture an Introduction - by Rebecca Furer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		480-450 B.C. The sculptural decorations of the temple of Zeus at Olympia, constructed during this period of Greek confidence, are the prime examples of the early classic style in sculpture.
		Since these sculptures were greatly influenced by other artistic forms during this period, however, it is also important to look at contemporary 5th century innovations in painting and drama.
		Both drama and sculpture were forms of mimesis or mimemata, "representations." J.J. Pollitt also points out that sculptors of the early classical period seem to have borrowed some technical devices from the stage, like the use of formal gestures and masks, to convey character and a sense of narrative action (Pollitt, p.27).
