Well, for starters, that's not good writing. What it is is a prime example of bullshit academic inflation in writing. It's peacocks strutting for peacocks. Classicists are some of the worst, because they generally have some of the least power on the modern university campus, so they have to make up for it with the sheer power of snobbery.
That being said, you should try to teach a survey class of business majors about Greek archaic sculpture sometime. Seriously. It's almost entertaining.
