Crete, Archaeological Museum of Kissamos:
Λ3239 Kissamos, Health Center. Found and donated by D. Vouterakis 1985. Decorative marble group of Aphrodite and Eros sitting on a rock playing guitar. The composition is iconographically unique.

"To bring the dead to life
Is no great magic.

Blow on a dead man's embers
And a live flame will start."
