Ideals
Beauty Ideals
The Pythians valued cleanliness and they saw the human body with as little wounds, spots or other as beutifull. so basicly a smooth skin without anything was seen as beutiful. With this the human body naked wasn't seen as something to hide either also to random people. Wounds or other break ups of smooth skin were seen as something to hide, the genitals on male and female as a result were seen as something to hide for the sake of beuaty
Gender Ideals
The genders of Pythians were seperate but the society isn't matriachal or patriachal. Men are seen as soldiers and physical workers while woman are seen as the ones who raise children but also the ones who more often do jobs like being a merchant or diplomat.
