Goddess Aphrodite Rising from the Sea Statue

As one of the Twelve Olympians, Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of Love. The Aphrodite Rising from the Sea Statue celebrates that popular goddess. Made from cold cast bronze, this hand-painted statue depicts her standing on a seashell. To begin with, she wears a long gown with light blue highlighting. She also has armbands and a headband. Next, the wide seashell rests on cresting waves. On her right, there is a dolphin looking up at Aphrodite. Finally, there is a plaque at the bottom of the statue. The plaque reads APHRODITE. Add this intricately detailed statue to any classically inspired decor or Greek mythology collection. Aphrodite is an ancient Greek Goddess associated with Love, Lust, Beauty, Pleasure, Passion and Procreation. She was syncretized with the Roman Goddess Venus. Aphrodite’s major symbols include Myrtles, Roses, Doves, Sparrows, and Swans. The cult of Aphrodite was largely derived from that of the Phoenician Goddess Astarte, a cognate of the East Semitic Goddess Ishtar, whose cult was based on the Sumerian cult of Inanna.

Aphrodite’s main cult centers were Cythera, Cyprus, Corinth, and Athens. Her main festival was the Aphrodisia, which was celebrated annually in midsummer. In Laconia, Aphrodite was worshipped as a warrior Goddess. She was also the patron Goddess of Prostitutes, an association which led early scholars to propose the concept of “sacred prostitution” in Greco-Roman culture, an idea which is now generally seen as erroneous. In Hesiod‘s Theogony, Aphrodite is born off the coast of Cythera from the foam (aphrós) produced by Uranus‘s genitals, which his son Cronus had severed and thrown into the sea. In Homer‘s Iliad, however, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. Plato, in his Symposium 180e, asserts that these 2 origins actually belong to separate entities: Aphrodite Ourania (a transcendent, “Heavenly” Aphrodite) and Aphrodite Pandemos (Aphrodite common to “all the people“). Aphrodite had many other epithets, each emphasizing a different aspect of the same goddess, or used by a different local cult.

Thus she was also known as Cytherea (Lady of Cythera) and Cypris (Lady of Cyprus), because both locations claimed to be the place of her birth. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, the God of fire, blacksmiths and metalworking. Aphrodite was frequently unfaithful to him and had many lovers, in the Odyssey infact, she is caught in the act of adultery with Ares, the God of war. In the First Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, she seduces the mortal shepherd Anchises. Aphrodite was also the surrogate mother and lover of the mortal shepherd Adonis, who was killed by a wild boar. Along with Athena and Hera, Aphrodite was one of the 3 Goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the Trojan War and she plays a major role throughout the Iliad. Aphrodite has been featured in Western art as a symbol of female beauty and has appeared in numerous works of Western literature. She is a major deity in modern Neopagan religions, including the Church of Aphrodite, Wicca, and Hellenismos. Goddess Aphrodite Rising from The Sea Statue measures: 11 inches / 28 cm x 5 inches / 13 cm x 5 inches / 13 cm.

Pegasus Statue, Greeks & Mythological Statues, Museum Replica of Pegasus Statue

Museum Replica of Pegasus Statue

This Pegasus Statue is an handmade Museum Statue Replica of Pegasus made in Greece, from 100% bronze using the traditional “lost wax” technique. This is the same technique used by the ancient Greeks to create bronze sculptures and arsenal. The prototype which it was made by is a museum exhibit. The green/gold color is given through the process of oxidization. Pegasus is a mythical, winged, divine stallion and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek Mythology. Greco-Roman poets wrote about the ascent of Pegasus to heaven after his birth, and his subsequent obeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus. A friend of the Muses, Pegasus created Hippocrene, the fountain on Mt. Helicon. The Pegasus is a horse (in greek myth usually a stallion) which is generally considered to be pure white, and with a pair of white feathered wings on its back. The symbolism of Pegasus varies with time. Symbolic of wisdom and fame from the Middle Ages until the Renaissance, Pegasus became associated with poetry around the 19th century, as the fountainhead of sources from which the poets gained their inspiration.

Pegasus is the subject of a very rich iconography, especially throughout ancient Greek pottery and paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance. Hypotheses have been proposed regarding the relationship between Pegasus and the Muses, the Goddess Athena, Poseidon, Zeus, Apollo, and the hero Perseus. Pegasus was sired by Poseidon, in his roleas horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. He was the brother of Chrysaor, born at a single birthing when his mother was decapitated by Perseus. He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat a monster, the Chimera, before realizing many other exploits. His rider, however, falls off his back trying toreach Mount Olympus. Zeus transformed him into the constellation Pegasus and placed him up in the sky. Personification of the Water, Solar Myth, or Shaman Mount, Carl Jung and his followers have seen in Pegasus a profound symbolic esotericin relation to the spiritual energy that allows to access to the realm of the Gods on Mount Olympus. Museum Replica of Pegasus Statue sizes: 4.35 inches / 11 cm x 3.95 inches / 10 cm x 1 inches / 2.5 cm.

God Zeus Statue, Greeks, Gods & Symbolic Statues, God Zeus Holding Thunderbolt Statue

God Zeus Holding Thunderbolt Statue

God Zeus Statue crafted by master artisan using high quality designer resin and cold cast bronze method, the casting method of mixing bronze material and resin together in order to create detailed statues with metallic surface. Zeus was the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek Religion, who ruled as King of the Gods of Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, the youngest of his siblings to be born, though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus’s stomach. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. At the Oracle of Dodona, his consort was said to be Dione, by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite. A Thunderbolt or Lightning Bolt is a symbolic representation of lightning when accompanied by a loud thunderclap. In Indo-European mythology, the thunderbolt was identified with the “Sky Father“, this association is also found in later Hellenic representations of Zeus and Vedic descriptions of the vajra wielded by the God Indra. It may have been a symbol of cosmic order, as expressed in the fragment from Heraclitus describing “the Thunderbolt that steers the course of all things“. In its original usage the word may also have been a description of the consequences of a close approach between 2 planetary cosmic bodies, as Plato suggested in Timaeus, or, according to Victor Clube, meteors, though this is not currently the case.

As a divine manifestation the Thunderbolt has been a powerful symbol throughout history, and has appeared in many mythologies. Drawing from this powerful association, the thunderbolt is often found in military symbolism and semiotic representations of electricity. Zeus’s Lightning Bolt (Thunderbolt or Master Bolt) is the signature weapon and symbol of power for the Olympian God of Thunder, Zeus. It is said to be the most powerful and feared weapon on Earth and in the Heavens. It was created for him by the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires in Tartaros, in conjunction with Poseidon’s Trident and Hades’ Helm of Darkness to defeat the Titans. During the Titanomachy, when Zeus was at war against Cronus and the Titans, he released his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, along with the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires. In turn, the Cyclopes gave Zeus the thunderbolt, a weapon of lightning that was imbued with the power over the sky. The thunderbolt became a popular symbol of Zeus and continues to be today. Zeus and Zeus alone uses the Thunderbolt (unlike the Trident which is used not only by Poseidon, Amphitrite and Triton). While Typhon and Zeus are doing battle, Zeus throws a lightning bolt at Typhon which threw him to a mountain. Zeus, quickly regaining strength, tossed one hundred Lightning Bolts at Typhon, killing him. He then threw his remains into Tartatus. God Zeus Holding Thunderbolt Statue measures: 10.8 inches / 27.5 cm x 8 inches / 20.5 cm x 14 inches / 35.5 cm.

Poseidon Statue, Greeks, Gods & Mythological Statues, Poseidon standing over Crashing Waves Statue

Greek God Poseidon standing over Crashing Waves Statue

One of Zeus’s brothers and ruler of the seas are some of the many things Poseidon is known for. This Poseidon Statue depicts him standing triumphantly with his golden trident and blue waves crashing beneath him. He wears green armor and a golden crown while the rest of his body di lui is a bronze color, all hand painted with a washed-out finish. Made of cast bronze, a process of mixing bronze powder with resin, give the statue a real metal look that is incredibly detail. Poseidon was one of the Twelve Olympians in ancient Greek religion and myth, God of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. In pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, he was venerated as a chief deity at Pylos and Thebes. He also had the cult title “earth shaker“. In the myths of isolated Arcadia he is related with Demeter and Persephone and he was venerated as a horse, however it seems that he was originally a god of the waters. He is often regarded as the tamer or father of horses, and with a strike of his trident, he created springs which are related with the word horse. His Roman equivalent is Neptune. Poseidon was protector of seafarers, and of many Hellenic cities and colonies.

Homer and Hesiod suggest that Poseidon became lord of the sea following the defeat of his father Cronus, when the world was divided by lot among his three sons. Zeus was given the sky, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the sea, with the Earth and Mount Olympus belonging to all 3. In Homer’s Iliad, Poseidon supports the Greeks against the Trojans during the Trojan War and in the Odyssey, during the sea-voyage from Troy back home to Ithaca, the Greek hero Odysseus provokes Poseidon’s fury by blinding his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus, resulting in Poseidon punishing him with storms, the complete loss of his ship and companions, and a 10-year delay. Poseidon is also the subject of a Homeric hymn. In Plato’s Timaeus and Critias, the legendary island of Atlantis was Poseidon’s domain. Athena became the patron goddess of the city of Athens after a competition with Poseidon, and he remained on the Acropolis in the form of his surrogate, Erechtheus. After the fight, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood to the Attic Plain, to punish the Athenians for not choosing him.

Pegasus Statue, Animals, Horses, Greeks & Mythological Statues, Pegasus Mythical Flying Horse Statue

Pegasus Mythical Flying Horse Statue

This Pegasus Statue is made of high quality heavy art cold cast resin and bronze powder. The surface is coated with a layer of bronze. Cold cast bronze statues are heavy, detailed, little shinier than 100% metals, and they actually look better than solid bronze. This new material is a fantastic compromise that keeps the beauty, substantial weight and quality, and detail of bronze while keeping replicas affordable. Bronze and resin are the most common materials for realistic statues. Pegasus (Greek: Pegasos; Latin: Pegasus, Pegasos) is a mythical winged divine horse, and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek Mythology. Usually he is depicted as pure white. Myths about him vary as the Greek myths evolve and reflect progression through successive generations of deities. In Archaic Greek Mythology, Pegasus is the offspring of the Gorgon Medusa, when she was depicted as a mare. In later myths, Pegasus was foaled by Medusa as she was dying, while being decapitated by the hero Perseus. In Classical Greek Mythology, the Olympian God Poseidon is identified as the father of Pegasus.

Pegasus is the brother of Chrysaor and the uncle of Geryon. Pegasus was caught by the Greek hero Bellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allowed Bellerophon to ride him in order to defeat the monstrous Chimera, which led to many other exploits. Bellerophon later fell from the winged horse’s back while trying to reach Mount Olympus, where the deities resided. After that failed attempt, Zeus transformed Pegasus into the eponymous constellation. The poet Hesiod presents a folk etymology of the name Pegasus as derived from pege “spring, well“, referring to “the pegai of Okeanos, where he was born”. A proposed etymology of the name is Luwian Pihassas “lightning”, and Pihassassi, a local Luwian-Hittite name in southern Cilicia of a weather deity associated with thunder and lightning. The proponents of this etymology adduce the role of Pegasus, reported as early as Hesiod, as the bringer of thunderbolts to Zeus.

That interpretation was first suggested in 1952 and remains widely accepted, but Robin Lane Fox (2009) has criticized it as implausible. Michael Brown, who has been studying ancient and medieval Greek poetry in the context of the Greek-North European Dialogue, has concluded from his studies that the word Pegasus is a pre-Celtic-PIE word, one that did not evolve into one of the numerous common names listed in both Greek and Western languages. This concept is discussed further in “Linguistics and Classical Theology“, by William S. R. Miller, which is based on his work with Charles F. G. Osterhaus‘s analysis of the word and its relationships to Greek and Italian. The relationship of “Pegasus” to “Cyrillic” is discussed further in his Phrygian Monikers and the Naming of Greek Pronunciation “Cyrillic or Pene-Orthogyrin” and “Pegasus” as an Early Semitic construct.

Cerberus Statue, Greeks & Mythological Statues, Cerberus the Hound of Hades Statue

Cerberus the Hound of Hades Statue

This Cerberus Statue is made of composite resin, hand painted and polished individually. In Greek mythology, Cerberus (Kérberos), often referred to as The Hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having 3 heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, the last of Heracles’ 12 labours. Descriptions of Cerberus vary, including the number of his heads. Cerberus was usually 3-headed, though not always. Cerberus had several multi-headed relatives. His father was the multi snake-headed Typhon, and Cerberus was the brother of 3 other multi-headed monsters, the multi-snake-headed Lernaean Hydra, Orthrus, the 2-headed dog who guarded the Cattle of Geryon, and the Chimera, who had 3 heads, that of a lion, a goat, and a snake. And, like these close relatives, Cerberus was, with only the rare iconographic exception, multi-headed. In the earliest description of Cerberus, Hesiod’s Theogony (8th–7th century BC), Cerberus has 50 heads, while Pindar (522-443 BC) gave him 100 heads. However, later writers almost universally give Cerberus 3 heads.

An exception is the Latin poet Horace‘s Cerberus which has a single dog head, and 100 snake heads. Perhaps trying to reconcile these competing traditions, Apollodorus‘s Cerberus has 3 dog heads and the heads of “all sorts of snakes” along his back, while the Byzantine poet John Tzetzes (who probably based his account on Apollodorus) gives Cerberus 50 heads, 3 of which were dog heads, the rest being the “heads of other beasts of all sorts“. In art Cerberus is most commonly depicted with 2 dog heads (visible), never more than 3, but occasionally with only 1. On one of the 2 earliest depictions (590-580 BC), a Corinthian cup from Argos, now lost, Cerberus was shown as a normal single-headed dog. The first appearance of a 3-headed Cerberus occurs on a mid-6th-century BC Laconian cup. Horace’s many snake-headed Cerberus followed a long tradition of Cerberus being part snake. This is perhaps already implied as early as in Hesiod‘s Theogony, where Cerberus’ mother is the half-snake Echidna, and his father the snake-headed Typhon. In art Cerberus is often shown as being part snake, for example the lost Corinthian cup showed snakes protruding from Cerberus’ body, while the mid-6th-century BC Laconian cup gives Cerberus a snake for a tail.

In the literary record, the first certain indication of Cerberus’ serpentine nature comes from the rationalized account of Hecataeus of Miletus (500-494 BC), who makes Cerberus a large poisonous snake. Plato refers to Cerberus’ composite nature, and Euphorion of Chalcis (3rd century BC) describes Cerberus as having multiple snake tails, and presumably in connection to his serpentine nature, associates Cerberus with the creation of the poisonous aconite plant. Virgil has snakes writhe around Cerberus’ neck, Ovid‘s Cerberus has a venomous mouth, necks “vile with snakes“, and “hair inwoven with the threatening snake“, while Seneca gives Cerberus a mane consisting of snakes, and a single snake tail. Cerberus was given various other traits. According to Euripides, Cerberus not only had 3 heads but 3 bodies, and according to Virgil he had multiple backs. Cerberus ate raw flesh (according to Hesiod), had eyes which flashed fire (according to Euphorion), a 3-tongued mouth (according to Horace), and acute hearing (according to Seneca). Cerberus the Hound of Hades Statue sizes: 3.75 inches / 9.5 cm x 7.75 inches / 19.5 cm x 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm.

The Blind Lady of Justice Statue, Greeks, Symbolic & Mythological Statues, White and Gold Blind Lady of Justice Statue

White and Gold Blind Lady of Justice Statue

This Blind Lady of Justice Statue is made of high quality bonded marble, hand-cast using real crushed white marble bonded with durable resin and painted with gold accents. Add a classical touch to your home with the Greek Goddess of Justice, blindfolded for impartiality in this sculptural masterpiece. Holding the balanced scales of justice and a sword of intricately hand-painted metalwork. The sword represented authority in ancient times, and conveys the idea that justice can be swift and final. Lady Justice (Latin: Iustitia) is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems. Her attributes are a blindfold, scales, and a sword. Lady Justice originates from the personification of Justice in Ancient Roman art known as Iustitia or Justitia, who is equivalent to the Greek goddess Dike. The origin of Lady Justice was Justitia, the goddess of Justice within Roman mythology. Justitia was introduced by emperor Augustus, and was thus not a very old deity in the Roman pantheon. Justice was one of the virtues celebrated by emperor Augustus in his clipeus virtutis, and a temple of Iustitia was established in Rome by emperor Tiberius.

Iustitia became a symbol for the virtue of justice with which every emperor wished to associate his regime. Emperor Vespasian minted coins with the image of the goddess seated on a throne called Iustitia Augusta, and many emperors after him used the image of the goddess to proclaim themselves protectors of justice. Though formally called a goddess with her own temple and cult shrine in Rome, it appears that she was from the onset viewed more as an artistic symbolic personification rather than as an actual deity with religious significance. Since the 16th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents impartiality, the ideal that justice should be applied without regard to wealth, power, or other status. The earliest Roman coins depicted Justitia with the sword in one hand and the scale in the other, but with her eyes uncovered. Justitia was only commonly represented as “blind” since the middle of the 16th century. The first known representation of Blind Justice is Hans Gieng‘s 1543 statue on the Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen (Fountain of Justice) in Berne. White and Gold Blind Lady of Justice Statue sizes: 3.5 inches / 9 cm x 5.5 inches / 14 cm x 13 inches / 33 cm.

Goddess Athena Bust Statue, Greeks, Busts & Mythological Statues, Athena Greek Goddess of Wisdom Bust Statue

Athena “Goddess of Wisdom” Bust Statue

This Goddess Athena Bust Statue is an high-quality craftsmanship with made with designer resin, a wonderful gift for mythology fans. Athena, or Pallas Athena, is the Greek goddess of wisdom, arts and war. She warrior goddess and virgin, one of her most respected, has various functions: she defends and advises heroes, educates industrious women, guides the judges of the courts, inspires craftsmen, protects children. But when she is angry, this goddess can become merciless. In the war between Achaeans and Trojans she was the protector of the Greeks. She, eponymous goddess of the city of Athens, she was dedicated to the temple called Parthenon “of the virgin” on the Acropolis of the city, whose gigantic statue of chryselephantine cult was the work of Phidias, furthermore, a bronze statue had been erected in front of the Propylaea, whose glows were visible from the ships arriving at Piraeus. Panathenaea festivals were held every year in her honor. As the patron goddess of the acropolis, she had shrines scattered throughout Greece and the Hellenistic world (remains of Athena’s temples have been discovered in the acropolis of Lindos, Pergamum, Rome, Paestum and various minor sanctuaries). Peculiarity of the cult of Athens was the statuette of her, originally made of wood then became metal, Palladio, to whom magical powers were attributed, since the statue was considered a symbol of the impregnability of the city.

Precisely for this reason, during the Trojan War, Ulysses and Diomedes undertake the task of entering the Trojan acropolis at night to steal the palladium. The statue in Athens every year received during the Panathenaic festivals a new dress embroidered by the Athenian girls. Callimachus in his hymn “For the washing of Pallas” tells of an Argive ceremony, which consisted in bringing Palladium every year to the river Inaco to wash and rearrange it. The goddess is always represented dressed in a peplum and often armed, surrounded by her sacred symbols: the owl Athene noctua, the helmet, the spear, the shield and the Aegis, that is an indestructible cloak made with the skin of the Amalthea goat, which he had protected and nurtured Zeus, stolen from Cronus by his mother Rhea. Her sacred tree was her olive tree, created by her as a gift to the Athenians, to become their patron deity. Athena for her prophetic and medical abilities was also worshiped in the sanctuaries of Delphi and Epidaurus. In the Parallel Lives of Plutarch (Pericles and Fabius Maximus), Athena appears to Pericles in a dream ordering treatment for a sick citizen of Athens. After this episode a bronze statue was erected in honor of the gods Hermes and Athena. Minerva, goddess of the Roman religion, was associated by the Romans with Athena. Athena Greek Goddess of Wisdom Bust Statue sizes: 7.5 inches / 19 cm x 2.5 inches / 6.5 cm x 2.5 inches / 6.5 cm.

Spartan Officer Helmet Statue, Greeks & Military Statues, Ancient Greek Bronze Replica of Spartan Officer Helmet Statue

Ancient Greek Bronze “Replica of Spartan Officer” Helmet Statue

This is a handmade Spartan Officer Helmet Statue made in Greece, from 100% bronze using the traditional “lost wax” technique. This is the same technique used by the ancient Greeks to create bronze sculptures and arsenal. The prototype which it was made by is a museum exhibit. The green/gold color is given through the process of oxidization. An Ancient Greek Spartan helmet from the Peloponnesian city of Sparta, dated 480 B.C. Period: Greek Age (6th–4th century B.C.). The Corinthian Helmet originated in ancient Greece and took its name from the city-state of Corinth. It was a helmet made of bronze which in its later styles covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the eyes and mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck. Out of combat, a Greek hoplite would wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort.

This practice gave rise to a series of variant forms in Italy, where the slits were almost closed, since the helmet was no longer pulled over the face but worn cap-like. Although the classical Corinthian helmet fell out of use among the Greeks in favour of more open types, the Italo-Corinthian types remained in use until the 1st century AD, being used, among others, by the Roman army. Apparently the most popular helmet during the Archaic and early Classical periods, the style gradually gave way to the more open Thracian helmet, Chalcidian helmet and the much simpler pilos type, which was less expensive to manufacture and did not obstruct the wearer’s critical senses of vision and hearing as the Corinthian helmet did. Numerous examples of Corinthian helmets have been excavated, and they are frequently depicted on ancient Greek pottery.

The Corinthian helmet was depicted on more sculpture than any other helmet, it seems the Greeks romantically associated it with glory and the past. The Romans also revered it, from copies of Greek originals to sculpture of their own. Based on the sparse pictorial evidence of the republican Roman army, in Italy the Corinthian helmet evolved into a jockey-cap style helmet called the Italo-Corinthian, Etrusco-Corinthian or Apulo-Corinthian helmet, with the characteristic nose guard and eye slits becoming mere decorations on its face. Given many Roman appropriations of ancient Greek ideas, this change was probably inspired by the “over the forehead” position common in Greek art.

Spartan Warrior Statue, Greeks & Military Statues, Spartan Warrior with Sword and Hoplite Shield Statue

Spartan Warrior with Sword and Hoplite Shield Statue

This Spartan Warrior Statue depicts precisely a Spartan warrior in full armor, sword in one hand and shield in the other, ready for battle. The Spartans were one of the most feared military forces in world history, and it was commonly accepted that one Spartan was worth several men of any other state. Made of cold cast resin, and the bottom of the base is lined with felt to prevent it from scratching delicate surfaces. The silvered finish and gold accents emphasize the detail of the piece, from the texture of the warrior’s armor to his fierce facial expression. It makes a great gift for Greek history buffs. Spartan Warriors known for their professionalism were the best and most feared soldiers of Greece in the 5th century B.C. Their formidable military strength and commitment to guard their land helped Sparta dominate Greece in the 5th century. What historic consequences did this warrior culture have on Sparta and Greece? What made the Spartans so effective in comparison to their counterparts?

Plutarch in his Life of Lycurgus memorably states that the Spartans “belonged entirely to their country and not to themselves“. And evidence supports his claim that unlike the Athenians, the Spartan warriors received rigorous training. However, it would be noteworthy that Spartan history was written by non-Spartan philosophers and historians, which means that we know Sparta only from an outsider’s perspective. Every male citizen in Sparta was required to serve in the military and that dictated the rhythm of everyday life for an average citizen. They considered service in the military as a privilege rather than duty. It was part of their political identity equivalent to their attendance in the Assembly. Interestingly, other than Spartans, none of the Greeks from other city-states were professional soldiers.

The Greek Titan Atlas Statue while Carrying The World on His Shoulders. The Atlas Statue is made using cold cast bronze method, cold casting is a process that mixing bronze material with resin to create a product rich in fine details like in a resin sculpture and also the metallic surface texture of the actual bronze. In Greek Mythology, Atlas is a Titan condemned to hold up the Entire World for eternity after the Titanomachy. Atlas also plays a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes: Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) and Perseus. According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Atlas stood at the ends of the earth in extreme west. Later, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa and was said to be the first King of Mauretania. Atlas was said to have been skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy.

In antiquity, he was credited with inventing the first celestial sphere. In some texts, he is even credited with the invention of astronomy itself. Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia or Clymene. He was a brother of Epimetheus and Prometheus. He had many children, mostly daughters, the Hesperides, the Hyades, the Pleiades, and the nymph Calypso who lived on the island Ogygia. The term Atlas has been used to describe a collection of maps since the 16th century when Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator published his work in honor of the mythological Titan. The “Atlantic Ocean” is derived from “Sea of Atlas“. The name of Atlantis mentioned in Plato’s Timaeus’ dialogue derives from “Atlantis Nesos“, literally meaning “Atlas’s Island“.

Ares God of War Statue, Greeks, Gods & Mythological Statues, Ares Son of Zeus and Hera Statue

Ares God of War Son of Zeus and Hera Statue

Ares God of War Statue, made of top quality alabaster powder, molded and finished by hand, even painting. This is a genuine greek statue made in Greece by top Greek artisans. Ares is the Greek God of War. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, the son of Zeus and Hera. In Greek literature, he often represents the physical or violent and untamed aspect of war, in contrast to his sister, the armored Athena, whose functions as a goddess of intelligence include military strategy and generalship. The Greeks were ambivalent toward Ares: although he embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, he was a dangerous force, overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering. His sons Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror) and his lover, or sister, Enyo (Discord) accompanied him on his war chariot. In the Iliad, his father Zeus tells him that he is the god most hateful to him. An association with Ares endows places and objects with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality.

His value as a war god is placed in doubt: during the Trojan War, Ares was on the losing side, while Athena, often depicted in Greek art as holding Nike (Victory) in her hand, favoured the triumphant Greeks. Ares plays a relatively limited role in Greek Mythology as represented in literary narratives, though his numerous love affairs and abundant offspring are often alluded to. When Ares does appear in myths, he typically faces humiliation. He is well known as the lover of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who was married to Hephaestus, god of craftsmanship. The most famous story related to Ares and Aphrodite shows them exposed to ridicule through the wronged husband’s device. The counterpart of Ares among the Roman gods is Mars, who as a father of the Roman people was given a more important and dignified place in ancient Roman religion as a guardian deity. Ares God of War Son of Zeus and Hera Statue measures: height : 9.84 inches / 25 cm, width: 4.13 inches / 10 cm, depth : 3.54″ / 9cm.
