Pantagathus Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 "It shows exactly the same technique and size, which led us to link the two statues beyond doubt." Sure but Zeus was linked to a lot of women & goddesses in diferent locals... Could have been Themis who begat him Horai (Seasons), Eunomia (Order), Dike (Justice), Eirene (Peace) and the Moirai (Fates) or Eurynome who begat him the Kharites (Graces), or Metis, or Leto, etc... All of which he ravaged in/around Mt. Olympos. I wouldn't say "beyond doubt" unless Hera's name was actually on the statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, even were the head still attached, one might still be hard pressed to make a definitive statement such as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
