Scientific novelty. An art history analysis of works of art was carried out in order to determine the specifics of the stylistics of female hairstyles in Greece and Rome (5th century BC – I 5th century AD); the influence of visual images of ancient Greek goddesses created by ancient masters on the formation of the ideal of female beauty and the popularization of new styles of female hairstyles, according to the ancient philosophy of beauty.
