Ares. According to some sources, however, her children were conceived
without the help of a man, either by slapping her hand on the ground or
by eating lettuce: thus they were born, not out of love but out of lust
and hatred. Classic depiction of Hera, with goldleaf painted accents,

long locks to reveal the graceful lines of her neck. Beside her is a
classic Greek pillar and a small vessel brimming with water to the point

wherever she goes. She is a contender in the story of the Golden Apples,
when Paris chooses her as the fairest of the three goddesses (the others
were Hera and Athena) and Aphrodite decides to "reward" him for giving
her the Golden Apple (the prototype of most modern awards) by giving him
the love of Helen of Troy, something of a mixed blessing that led to the
Trojan War. This is a cold-cast resin statue measuring 11 1/4" tall,

Dionysus, also commonly known by his Roman name Bacchus, appears to be a
god who has two distinct origins. On the one hand, Dionysus was the god
of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature, who is also the patron
god of the Greek stage. On the other hand, Dionysus also represents the
outstanding features of mystery religions, such as those practiced at
Eleusis: ecstacy, personal delivery from the daily world through
physical or spiritual intoxication, and initiation into secret rites.
Scholars have long suspected that the god known as Dionysus is in fact a
fusion of a local Greek nature god, and another more potent god imported
rather late in Greek pre-history from Phrygia (the central area of
modern day Turkey) or Thrace. Classic depiction of Dionysus. With
goldleaf painted accents and fine details thru-out this cold cast resin
statue. Approx 11" tall. 55.95
