'INTERLUDIO LII': CARYATIDS OF ERECHTHEION
Once upon a time in Attica 🇬🇷 - one sunny day [+37-39C 🌞] I was walking through the city-state of Athens 🏛️ and suddenly eyed a mass of good populus from all around Oikoumene taking photos of something, so I thought to myself: maybe I should take some pictures too 🤓.. et voilà:
The Caryatids [replicas, 5 originals are in the Acropolis Museum and 1 is in the British Museum] at the porch of Erechtheion or Temple of Athena Polias [Acropolis of Athens]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erechtheion
Built 421–406 BC or the 430s BC.

DANCING MAENADS:
2 Large Marble Frieze Reliefs H89 X W165 cm each,
Roman
"The female figures are faithful copies of the models created at the end of the 5th c. BC by the Greek sculptor Callimachus.
Some, such as the maenad holding a basket full of fruit and the one screaming disheveledly brandishing two torches and with her arms wrapped in snakes, are however not typical of the Dionysian thiasos but refer to the iconography of an offering bearer or a Hora [season] and that of an Erinyes [personification of revenge especially towards those who attack one's family], themes that adapt to a funerary context."
