Aphrodite, Pan and Eros

This is one of the best known and most characteristic representations of the goddess Aphrodite assaulted by the goat-legged Pan.

The group stands on its original square base, which bears a votive inscription. The naked goddess attends to hide her putenda, while threatening to strike Pan with her sandal. Little Eros hovers over her shoulder, playfully seizing Pan΄s horn in an attempt to help his mother ward off the annoying creature.

This lighthearted and picturesque theme places the composition in the so-called Hellenistic «Rococo style.
