| Leon's Duplicate |
1960
"In seeing the famous “Acropolis”, high on
the hill some distance from us, we struck out in that direction.
It
was a puzzle to get to as there were many times we found ourselves in the
dead-end streets. After several of these we finally found the correct
one.
When we reached the top we were completely played out so we just
sat down and rested and stared at the ruins, the city of Athens
beneath us and the sea away off in the distance.
Browsing among the
ruins, the sea appeared to us as a lovely place to find a place to
eat and buy souvenirs"
While there I purchased a Goddess Sculpture. During my travels It was damaged. Here is the duplicated sculpture that my son, Leon, made when he was a teenager.
As A Side Note: I went online to find if it was a Greek Goddess, but
could not find any information. I then decided to do a quiz on
what Goddess I would be.
Here was the answer.
You
Are the Greek Goddess Demeter
You
are an Earth Mother, provider of delicious food and beautiful
children. You prefer the company of the young, but you have a decided
wanderlust, which makes being tied down lead to periods of
depression. You are conscientious, law-abiding, and spiritual.
Who
Is Demeter?: Demeter is a goddess of fertility, grain, and
agriculture. She is pictured as a mature motherly figure. Although
she is the goddess who taught mankind about agriculture, she is also
the goddess responsible for creating winter and a mystery religious
cult. She is usually accompanied by her daughter Persephone.
