Aphrodite of Milos (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη τῆς Μήλου, Aphroditē tēs Mēlou), better known as the Venus de Milo, is an ancient Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Created sometime between 130 and 100 BC, it is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to the Romans). It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high. The arms and original plinth were lost following its discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; earlier, it was mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles. It is currently on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The Mask of Agamemnon is an artifact discovered at Mycenae in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann. The artifact is a funeral mask crafted in gold, and was found over the face of a body located in a burial shaft, designated Grave V, at the site "Grave Circle A, Mycenae". Schliemann believed that he had discovered the body of the legendary Greek leader Agamemnon, but modern archaeological research suggests that the mask is from 1550–1500 BC, earlier than the life of Agamemnon, as tradition regards it. The mask is currently displayed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens

IES de Poio: Soraya, Brian

Soraya and Brian introduce theirselves. They chose the Riaze bronces (Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia)

The Riace warriors (c. 460–430 BC) are two life-size statues of nude, bearded warriors, which were literally pulled from the sea following their accidental discovery by a scuba diving party off the coast of Monasterace, Italy in 1972. They are a major find since most ancient Greek sculpture is known to us only through surviving Roman replicas, usually carved in marble. On the other hand, these rare figures are cast in bronze and feature eyes inlaid in bone and glass, silver teeth and copper-plated lips and nipples to heighten their naturalism and tactility. 

IES de Poio: Bea, Nerea, Ángela

Bea, Nerea and Ángela introduce theirselves. They chose The lady of Auxerre, (Louvre Museum)

The Lady of Auxerre was named after the little Museum of Auxerre, a small city in the vicinity of Paris, where, in the 19th century, a Louvre curator sighted her in the vault of that museum.
It was decided she was a specimen of the so-called Daedalic type of eastern origin cultivated in the Greek world of the seventh century BC. Typical, in this respect, is her wig (which could also be Egyptian) and triangular face, while her dress is of the ancient Cretan type.

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.
