In the classical period during the century of Pericles (Vth century B.C.), sculptures have more of an appearance of movement: here, we see a bronze statue of Poseidon where the god of the seas is almost certainly tossing his trident (this statue, two meters high was discovered in the sea). Few statues, made of bronze, have been found for they were often melted for the metal. |
