I am a Kouros, one of those young men sculpted in marble for posterity. My motionless existence conveys the spiritual elevation that all should pursue: a quest for the ideal of kalos, pefect beauty, and agathos, noble virtue. My beauty appeals to humans and gods alike. I will forever embody eternal, imperishable youth.
