The Greeks were the first to see male nudity as, literally,
a heroic state.

‘Greek nudity is a sign not of humiliation, but of moral
virtue among the social elite of male citizens,’ says Neil MacGregor, a former director
of the British Museum.

‘When a youth removes his clothes to compete in the ancient
Olympic Games, he does not merely stand naked before his peers, rather he has
put on the uniform of righteousness.’

A fighter’s nudity pointed to his Manly Virtues that all
fighters embody.

Then and today.
