Artemis and Apollo twin Greek god statues unearthed on Crete

A group of small-sized sculptures depicting twin gods Artemis and Apollo will be presented by the Chania Ephorate of Antiquities on Wednesday, 24 July.

The presentation, at Crete’s Archaeological Museum, is considered important due to the artistic quality of the finds dated back to the second half of the 1st to the beginning of the 2nd century AD. They were discovered in the framework of systematic excavations carried under the direction of archaeologist Vanna Niniou-Kindeli at a Roman home of the ancient Aptera. Funded by the Region of Crete, the finds will be exhibited for the first time at Chania Archaeological Museum’s permanent collection and will be part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Iliad 1 lines 188-198 

“The son of Peleus (Achilles) felt grief, and his heart within his shaggy breast was divided whether to draw his sword, push the others aside, and kill the son of Atreus (Agamemnon), or to restrain himself and check his anger. While he was thus in two minds, and was drawing his mighty sword from its scabbard, Athena came down from heaven (for Hera had sent her in the love she bore to them both), and seized the son of Peleus by his yellow hair”
