Zeus eller Poseidon funnet ikke langt fra Skiathos!
"Bronze statue of Zeus or Poseidon,
Found in the sea of Cape Artemision, in northern Euboea.
The god, shown in great stride, extends his left arm before his body,
while holding a thunderbolt or trident in his right hand.

His identification as Zeus or Poseidon is controversial (the former identification is more probable.) It is one of the few preserved original statues of the Severe Style, notable for the exquisite rendering of motion and anatomy. It is certainly the work of a great sculptor of the early Classical period. Ca,460 BC."
From the National Archeological Museum, Athens

 
Many nice bodies here!

For en dag!
Mine føtter er såre, mitt hode fullt!
Akropolis og Nasjonal Museet på en dag! For en opplevelse!

Jeg husket denne statuen fra tidligere besøk, - den var ikke mindre flott i dag!
For en type! For en kropp!
Tenk om han kom min vei ...

Han ble funnet i havet der vi reiste for å komme til Agios Konstantinos onsdag! Tror det var i 1928!
Jeg har blitt fortalt at noen italiennere forsøkte å frakte den med seg under en båt, men en fisker fra Skiathos varslet politiet. Takk til ham, - derfor kan vi alle nyte av denne flotte gud!

What a day!
My feet are sore, my head full!
Acropolis and the National Museum on one day! What an adventure!

I remember this statue from my last visit, - it was not less 
fantastic today! 
What a man! What a body!
Think if he comes my way ...

He was found where we traveled Wednesday in order to get to Agios Konstantinos! In 1928, I think!
I have been told that some Italians tried to take it with them hanging under a boat, but a fisherman from Skiathos called the police.
Thanks to him, - he made it possible for us to enjoy this wonderful god!
