Temple of Artemis at Brauron, Vravrona, Greece | May 14, 2026
These statues of children at the Vravrona museum, were gifts to Artemis who was their protector. Some were sick, some becoming adults and wish for good fortune etc. All of them carry their favourite toy or animal. Got inspired by one of these, so here's my take._______________________________________ #statues #color #illustration #creative #artoftheday #characterdesign #sketchoftheday #instaart #dailyart #girl #pigeon #museum #ancientgreece #vravrona #disneyprincess #zerotohero #digitalart #wacom #cintiq (at Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Βραυρώνας) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt-eL9Bg2X_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hwld08szc1wj
Greek scientists believe that a cave near Vravrona, about 40 km (25 miles) east of Athens, was a hideout for lions and panthers which roamed the Greek countryside thousands of years ago.
Fossils belonging to small and large mammals, including lions and panthers, have been recently unearthed by researchers. Other species identified from skeletal remains include wolves, bison, horses, bears and deer.
Excavations in the cave began in the mid 1970s and continues to this day. Scientists say that the fossils date over a large period between twenty-five thousand to seven thousand years ago.
They believe that the cave was either a natural trap for animals, or perhaps was a place where large predators would bring their prey to enjoy a quiet dinner.
Because most of these species became extinct in Greece such a long time ago, little is known about the animals’ possible ranges throughout the country.
Lions feature very prominently in ancient Greek mythology and writings including the myth of the Nemean Lion. This animal, which was believed to enjoy supernatural powers, was said to have occupied the sacred town of Nemea in the Peloponese.
