Achelous – a Greek river god – 4th Century BC [2800 x 2000]

Known as the chief of all Greek river gods, Achelous represents water’s life-giving and chaotic powers. The statuette captures Achelous as a river-god with a human face and a bull's body, reflecting his shifting, chthonic nature. The horns on this small figurine are missing, but traces remain. by SashSegal
