![]() ![]() It almost looks like the fabric is flowing in very strong wind, and checking his face again his beard and hair do look like they are being jostled in the wind as well. Following that fabric, it comes around the left side of his body to wrap around his leg and flow behind him. Following his left arm, you see he has a piece of fabric wrapped around his shoulder. Both are positioning the trident toward his line of sight. One is just a little way from the top, and the other is all the way at the bottom. As you follow his angry glance down his right arm, you see that he is holding his trident with both hands. Starting at his face, you can see his very agitated expression as he glares down at the ground. His Roman name is Neptune, and here we see him with his trident getting ready to stab the ground, or perhaps something in the water that earned his wrath. This is a statue of Poseidon, God of the Sea and Earthquakes. ![]() Though his left hand is holding her opposite leg, I don’t know if that is so much for support as it is to keep her from flailing. With her upper body supported by Hade’s left shoulder, her lower body is supported at the waist by his right arm. Persephone has her head turned to the far back left, with both hands in contrast extended to the right facing the same direction that Hades is looking. ![]() His crowned head is somewhat turned to the right, granting you the impression that his destination is in that direction. The core of his body is tilted slightly to the right while facing forward, to accommodate the movement and Persephone who, is somewhat flung over his shoulder. Hade’s has a very solid stance, as you see his left leg brought forward over the bystander. (Proserpina to the Romans.) This is quite the action shot with tons of movement, as you see Hades carrying a flailing Persephone while stepping over some other person. His Roman name is Pluto, and here we see him in the process of kidnapping his wife Persephone. This is a statue of Hades, God of the Underworld. As your eye moves up from this point you notice that Hera has her head turned to the right, contrasting the position of the rest of her body. Both her hands are somewhat off to her left side, causing her right arm to cross just over her body. The fabric is bunched together so realistically every wrinkle makes sense as you follow the trail back to her hands. So long in fact that she has to gather it up in her hands in order to move properly, without struggle. Putting Hera’s weight on her left leg, and having her right leg dragging somewhat behind her, you notice that her skirt is extremely long. There are a few different elements to this piece that create movement, and while this isn’t one of the most dramatic poses, the statue itself isn’t stationary. Her expression is a bit hard to read, but it looks like she is indifferent to whatever she is looking at. Here we see her standing somewhat off center as she carries the fabric from her skirt. This is a statue of Hera, the wife of Zeus and Queen of the Gods. ![]()
