Polychrome terracotta sculpture of the god Dionysos, holding an egg and a rooster. The unusual attributes may hint at a connection to Orphism, which held that the first deity, Phanes or Protogonos ("First-Born"), was hatched from a cosmic egg. Adherents of Orphism saw humankind as the descendants of Dionysos (under the name "Zagreus"), created when the Titans devoured the young Zagreus and were then struck by Zeus' thunderbolt. Artist unknown; created in Tanagra, Boeotia (an important center of terracotta production) ca. 350 BCE. Now in the British Museum.

No known works survive of Myron of Eleutherae, but the Athenian was known in his time as one the ancient world's most capable bronze-casters, producing mainly animals. He's better known in modern times for his athletes.

Everything we know, including the most famous discus thrower, is from copies and literary sources. By way of comparison, there are some 650 lines of poetry by Sappho (imagined here after Myron) that have survived 200 years longer than all of Myron's bronzes.

Winged Victory pendant is a wearable sculpture piece for history of art or mythology or archaeology lovers, inspired by statues of Greek Goddess Nike or Roman Goddess Victoria. Goddess Nike and Goddess Athena are sometimes fused together but Nike represented victories mostly in artistic or athletic areas, Athena on the other hand in military ones. (In Athens, Nike was often honored alongside Athena or as an attribute of Athena, where she was called Athena Nike).

Bronze statuette of Hermes. The god wears his characteristic chlamys (cloak) and winged sandals; he also likely once held his kerykeion (herald's staff). The eyes, which would have been made of glass paste or metal, are now missing. Artist unknown; 1st cent. BCE/CE (Late Hellenistic or Roman). Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
