• HEAD of a Goddess + Head of Hermes II.:
.
- Goddess: Pls refer to descs of pics I., III.
- Hermes:
Roman transformation, Marble, 2 AD after a Greek original.
From Ephesus, found in 1896 near the propylaea of the Harbour Gymnasium.
"The wings ID this youthful deity as Hermes .. This is a transformation of the head of a statue of Hercules produced by the Greek sculptor Polycleitus in the 2nd-half of the 5th c. BC.
Although the wings change the figure's ID, his turned head and the conception of his hairstyle have also been altered, this copy from the early Antonine period clearly references the Classical bronze model."
