Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show the close connection between the question of the metaphysical notion of the Beginning (arche) in Ancient Greek philosophy and the aesthetical perception of the male form. The philosophical notion of “arche” and all abstract-theoretical thought, I conclude, is part of the organic mythological perception represented in the numerous kouroi statues that show the idealized male body.
