The statues in Apeiron's Hall of Truth are real statues

In Apeiron's Hall of Truth, there are 5 sculptures that are laid out along the walls of the room. While looking around, I found that the statues happened to be ones you happen to find in real life.

I was able to identify 3 of the 5 sculptures, but the two statues on the far left are currently left unidentified since it was too dark to be able to image search them properly.

Though, I want to focus on the sculptures that I was able to find information on. Let's get started.

These 3 statues were identified to be statues from the Schönbrunn Garden, a palace garden located in Vienna, Austria (surprising, I know). In the Great Parterre area of the garden, there are 32 statues depicting various Greco-Roman mythological deities and virtues. These 3 are no different.

Asclepius, Greek God of Healing and Medicine (Veit Königer)

Asclepius is most known for the rod that he holds, wrapped by a snake (a sacred animal who held wisdom, healing, and resurrection) who granted him secret knowledge in exchange of kindness. The rod—similar to Hermes' caduceus by design—is the most iconic and used symbol for medicine and healing today.

Gaius Mucius Scaevola, Roman Youth Figure (Johann Martin Fischer)

Mucius here is most known for his willpower during the Roman-Etruscan wars. "Scaevola" is a term/cognomen that means "left-handed." The name was given to Mucius after he willingly placed his right hand over an open flame when he was held captive by Clusian King Lars Porsena.

Porsena let him go after finding that the young man (and by extension, the young Romans) was more than willing to hurt himself if it meant that Rome would reign victorious over Clusium.

Flora, Roman God of Spring and Flowers (Johann Wilhelm Beyer)

She was a well-celebrated minor goddess in Roman mythology, and was also one of the many deities that signified youth and fertility given the nature of springtime. The Floralia is a ancient Roman festival that celebrated Flora with drinking, flowers, and entertainments. She has a temple that was established in 238 BCE.

Note: At one point, I mistook the statue for the Flora Farnese, one of the many statues part of the collection of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (later Pope Paul III). I found that Flora had her own statue in the gardens as well a bit later.

The Unidentified Sculptures

There are two other sculptures that are currently left unidentified because the area was too dark and thus leaving too much room for pixelation of the images when it came to cropping them.

There are a couple of notes that can be considered if you wish to find them:

The first sculpture has a beard, and holds the cloth wrapped around his waist. The cloth also seeps to be wrapped around his shoulder.

The second statue is of a clean-shaven man with very loose clothing. He has his right arm raised while also having an animal by his side.

Neither of them are sculptures from the garden. Trust me, I already went through each image of the article more than once.

Here's the sculptures but under a brighter light despite there being less details.

A close match I could get from the second statue would be that of Bacchus by Georg Pfründt, but it's not quite as close as I'd like it to be.

Anyways, these are just some observations I wanted to note down. I spent way too many hours trying to find the two statues above. Thanks for reading and have fun if you want to try to search for the other two statues.
