and The Eagle Jupiter
Large Cold Cast Bronze

Hebe was dismissed from her office as cup bearer to the Gods due to a fall she
took while attending to their needs. Her successor was Ganymede, a Trojan boy,
whom Jupiter, in the disguise of an eagle, seized and carried off from the midst
of his playfellows on Mount Ida, bore up to heaven, and installed in the vacant
place to serve as cup bearer.

Vols. I & II: Stories of Gods and Heroes. 1913.
With grace and beauty, the artist portray the
Goddess holding her cup and the Eagle Jupiter as a strong avian consort to Her.

Goddess
Hebe
Bonded Stone Statue on Marble Base
14 inches high by 5 inches by 5 inches
A beautiful and graceful statue of Hebe, the daughter of Zeus and Hera
and husband of Hercules. Hebe is the goddess of youth and beauty and was the
cupbearer to the gods at Olympus. She offered libation at celebrations!
A goddess of pardons and forgiveness, freed prisoners
would hang their chains in the sacred grove of her sanctuary at Phlius.
Hebe is also the Goddess of the Young Bride.
This Greek Goddess of Youth and Spring, she was sometimes called Ganymeda. She
is the cup-bearer in Heaven and pours the ambrosia nectar to the gods when they
are assembled. Hebe was often portrayed as an attendant of the bridal Aphrodite.
She married Heracles (Hercules) when the hero became a god at his death. At Rome
the goddess was worshiped under the name of Juventas. The Neoclassical sculptor
Bertel Thorvaldsen emulated ancient Greeks, believing that they were the only
sculptors who attained pure formal beauty without regard to content. Probably
his best work is the statue of Hebe. Her pure beauty and everlasting youth made
her portrayal a splendid choice for Neoclassical art. The art movement,
Neoclassicism, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, referred back to
Classical times for inspiration.
