IES de Poio: Paula, Cris and Laura

Laura, Cris and Paula introduce theirselves.

They chose the sculpture known as Artemision bronze, (National Archaeological Museum of Athens) .
This bronze statue was dated to 460 BC, in the transition period between archaism and classicism.
The figure continues to support both feet despite the dynamic begins to sign up. The work represents a god at the time of launch with right hand an object that has been lost. Its size is greater than natural (2.10). We discuss whether it is Zeus throwing lightning or if it is  Poseidon throwing his trident.

  2. Ancient Greek is such a beautiful language!
    The students of IES de Poio are eager to work with Greek and Italian students.
    We hope we will learn a lot about Ancient Greece and its impact on our culture.
    See you soon on the blog!
