Zeus, the king of the Olympian Gods, was not only known for being the most prominent deity in the ancient Greek pantheon. He also had a reputation for his endless affairs, which leaves us amazing tales of conflict and chaos.
His many children, not all of them from the same mother, had the most extraordinary origins one could imagine.
Zeus’ wife Hera was the mother of some of his offspring, and, as one might expect, her jealousy was legendary. It’s not uncommon to read about her acts of revenge, not only against Zeus and his lovers, but also against the children who came from these relationships.

Material and manufacturing process: cast marble
Cast marble statues are made from a composite material in which natural crushed Greek marble stone is mixed with a small amount of resin which acts as a glue. The mixture is then poured into a mold of the design of the statue. Because the powder is so fine, the smallest details can be reproduced using this method. Over 90% of the finished sculpture is natural crushed Greek marble stone, giving it a look and feel of solid natural marble. All sculptures are hand finished to ensure the best quality. This strong material is water and weather resistant, bubble free, will not crack and can be washed with most cleaning agents.
Please note: our statues are not sculpted. The 100% natural marble statues are hand carved and cost a lot of money. Our product offerings are intended to be affordable to the majority audience.
