The Three Graces

"From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world."

I haven’t found any description to this piece at the place itself, all i can say is that it’s probably Dionysus. Belongs to the Musei Capitolini collection. If anyone knows more about this head, please share.

Eirene

Eirene, goddess of peace, and her baby son Ploutos, god of wealth. Roman copy of a statue by Kephisodotos, originally placed in the marketplace of Athens, ca.370/350 BCE., marble, 1.99 m

The Glyptothek (Munich),  Inv. 219

Peace and Wealth, shown as mother and child. Pausanias, the Greek travel writer of the second century CE, wrote about a sculptor called Kephisodotos who made a sculpture of “Peace holding the child Wealth in her arms” for the Athenians. It was made of bronze and stood in the Agora. This is a Roman copy, and the child’s head may not belong. The original was probably created to coincide with the foundation of a cult of Eirene in 374 BCE, when peace was made with Sparta, or in 371 BCE when a peace was signed between all Greeks.
