The power of myths. Students conversing with a dangerous Siren. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were daemonic creatures with the head and upper body of a female human, bearing the legs, wings and tail of a bird of prey. They are associated with water, love but also death. They perched on a rock and waited for sailors whom they tried to lure with their enchanting song and lead to death. From the exhibition "Odysseys ". #nationalarchaeologicalmuseumofathens#athens #greece #mythology #ancient art #museum #music #siren #instamuseum #instadaily

ETERNITY The Greek and the local population of Fayum placed over the face of the deceased a portrait which had been rendered while the depicted person was alive. According to the funerary beliefs of the Egyptians' the portrait helped the two elements of the human spirit the "Ka" and the "Ba", which were released from the corpse following the death of the person, recognize the dead body and reunite with it, and so the deceased gained eternal life. Fayum funerary portrait of a man. 2nd c. AD. NAM 1627 #greece #egypt #fayum #ancient #art #museum #pictureoftheday#instamuseum #nationalarchaeologicalmuseum #athens #death #eternal

DIVINE BEAUTY AND GRACE. The youthful female marble head, with the wavy hair carried back, exudes #divine #beauty and #grace. It was found at #Tegea,#Arkadia. The theory, according to which it belonged to the statue of #Hygieia, the goddess of good #health, carved by the great #sculptor #Skopas, has been disputed. It is nevertheless one of the finest original works of the Late #Classical Period. 350-325 BC. #archaeology #ancientart #sculpture #Greece #medicine #religion #culture #nationalarchaeologicalmuseumofathens #instamuseum#museumart
