Apollo Bust Statue with Roundbase

Description

God Apollo, the twin brother of Goddess Artemis (Diana) is one of the most interesting figures in the Greek Mythology, the second most important Olympian only behind Zeus. According to the myth, Leto, Zeus’ wife before Hera, escaped to the Greek island of Ortygia (currently known as Delos) to give birth to Apollo, since Hera discovered that she was pregnant and that Zeus was the father of the child. Apollo, patron of Delphi, has been recognized as the god of prophecy and truth. He was also characterized, among others, as the god of light and sun, healing, plague, music and poetry. This is an elegant bust statue of Apollo made by top quality alabaster. A great home or office decor item for artists and historians, as well as those interested in classical antiquity and Greek mythology in general.
