Artist's Comments

More Statues!! ... alot more statues :faint:

After I had finished with my Fates `brokenboulevard and I started talking about what I should do next, she mentioned that she didn't know anything about Greek stuff, but she did know about Egyptian Gods and such. I challenged her to do the gods and goddesses and she came out with the amazing: 24 Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. She told me that i should do the Greek ones... little did i know how long it would take me (well over 15 hours counting all the research) I started on the 23rd and just finished it last night. :phew:



From left to right who they are:

Zeus: God of the sky, Father of Gods and King of Heaven. Holding a thunderbolt
Apollo: God of Music. Carrying a lyre
Aristaios: God of Bee-keeping and honey. Being attacked by his bees
Asklepios: God of Healing. Holding a staff with a snake wrapped around it
Eunomia: Goddess of Lawfulness. Blindfolded and holding scales
Hermes: Messenger of the Gods. Holding his winged sceper and wearing a winged cap
Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War. She's with her owl
Artemis: Goddess of The Hunt and wild animals. Holding a bow and arrow... it looks like shes going to kill Dionysus :fear:
Dionysus: God of Wine and Party. Holding a bottle of wine and a glass
Hecate: Goddess of Witchcraft. She has a wand.
Hebe: Goddess of Youth. aww isn't she cute :aww:
Aphrodite: Goddess of Beauty, Love and Sexual Love. Holding a heart
Ares: God of War. With his helmet and sword.
Poseidon: God of the Sea. Catching a wave :boogie:
Hera: Goddess of Marriage and Queen of Heaven. Holding a scepter and wearing a diadem
Hades: God of the Underworld. Holding a skull scepter and has his arm around Persephone, his wife.
Persephone: Goddess of the Underworld. Holding a pomegranate
Demeter: Goddess of Agriculture. Holding an ear of corn and glaring at Persephone (her daughter) and Hades.
Hestia: Goddess of Fire and the Hearth. Holding a torch. She was also proclaimed to be one of th virgin goddesses, which is why she is white.
Pluto: God of Wealth. Money money money money oops Plutos doesn't exist ^^;, Pluto however is the Roman name for Hades, so this is Hades ... again :D
Iris: Goddess of Rainbows. repesented but the ... uh... rainbow :D
Narcissus: not actually a god... but I like him :nod: Looking at his reflection in his mirror. If you dont know the story he fell in love with his reflection.
Aeolos: God of Wind and Storms. Looks like hes having a little bit of trouble with the wind right now
Erebus: God of Dark. he's dark
Selene: Goddess of the Moon. She's holding up the moon
Helios: God of the Sun. She's holding up the sun
Aether: God of Light. he's light
Morpheus: God of Sleep and Dreams. cuddling with his teddy bear
Triton: Minor God of the Sea. Half man half fish, with his trident
Kronos: Titan of Time, former supreme being. Long beard and holding a hourglass... not a god

30!


There are 6 of them on the highest pillar, those are my favorites (Not by my little guys just the mythology behind them)

Enjoy!
