To the Hellenist's eye, the "golden rectangle" was considered to be the most pleasing rectangular shape. It is the rectangle whose length and width are in the ratio equal to the limit of adjacent terms of the Fibonacci series. The number is roughly 1.618. Its reciprocal is roughly 0.618. It's the number that is 1 more than its reciprocal, and the solution to x2 - x - 1 = 0.
