He wears his himation or cloak in the style worn by learned teachers in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., leaving most of the breast uncovered.

Belerophon is reffered to one of the greatest hero's of Greek Mythology. While living in Proetus's kingdom, the king's wife Antia, fell deeply in love with Bellerophon. Antia sent him many seductive offers that Bellerophon would continuously turn down. In her rejected anger, Antia told Proetus that Bellerophon had tried to seduce her. Proetus believed her. He gave a letter to Belllerophon to deliver to Iobates, king of Lycia, in which it was written that he was to murder Bellerophon.
Having read the letter, Iobates ordered him to kill the Chimera, believing that he would be destroyed by the beast. The Chimera, was a monster with the head of a lion, tail of a dragon, and its third and middle head that belched fire was that of a goat. With the help of Pegasus, Bellerphon destroyed the beast.
After having destroyed the monstrous Chimera, Bellerophon believed he deserved to stay with the greek gods on Mount Olympus, but Zeus took offence to his over saturated ego. Zeus caused Pegusus, the flying horse, to kick off Bellerophon 'causing him to spend the rest of his life blind and cripled.

Ares and Aphrodite Statue by Canova
Venus (Greek godess name, Aphrodite) is the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. Mars (Greek god name Ares) is the Roman God of War. Mars is a God of giant stature whose cruel and war-like nature is despised by all his peers, and yet he succumbs to the charms of Venus. Maybe this is why John Gray titled his book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus." The Greek god's love affair is legendary in classical Greek mythology. There have been many pictures of and artworks based on Aphrodite the goddess, but this work of Antonio Canova's is from the last few years of his life. It illustrates his artistry of expressiveness under the restraint of classic lines. He was the foremost exponent of the Neo-Classicism.
This Ares and Aphrodite Statue by Canova is made from museum resin, in a white finish, measures 15"H x 7"L x 3.5"D. 6414, $55

Neptune Calming Waves White Statue
Neptune (Poseidon in Greek Mythology) is the God of the Sea. When offended Neptune strikes the ground with his trident and causes chaotic springs, earthquakes, drowning and shipwrecks. In this work though Neptune is still resentful of the wandering Trojans, he is seen calming the sea to ensure the safe passage for Aeneas, as an effort to annoy Juno who has intruded into his domain. At his feet Triton, Neptune's son gives a signal with his shell-horn. The sculptor's homage to Bernini is apparent in what is considered the most flamboyant Baroque sculpture in 18th-century France.
The Neptune Calming Waves White Statue is made from museum resin, measures 11"H x 6.5"D x 6"W. 6268, $56
