Description: BEAUTIFUL RING IN STERLING SILVER RELIEF SCENE OF THE ANCIENT GREEK GOD EROS ASTRIDE A DOG HEADED SEA BEAST RIDING ATOP THE WAVES SIZE 10 THIS RING IS A BEAUTIFUL MODERN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION IN THE ANCIENT GREEK CLASSICAL STYLE. SCULPTED IN STERLING SILVER IN RELIEF ON THE RAISED OVAL CROWN, THE SHANKS ARE ADORNED WITH HALF NUDE DANCING GODDESSES OR NYMPHS. THE GREEK EROS, CALLED CUPID BY THE ROMANS, WAS CONSIDERED THE SON OF APHRODITE AND ARES. HE WAS THE GOD OF LOVE, LUST, DESIRE, SEX AND THE PRIMORDIAL GOD OF THE PERSONIFICATION OF LOVE. THE MYTHOLOGY RELATES THAT EROS IS ONE OF THE EROTES, AND THAT HE AND HIS SIBLINGS, ARE WINGED GODS OF LOVE IN APHRODITE’S RETINUE. OFTEN PORTRAYED AS A WINGED JUVENILE BOY FULL OF MISCHIEF, HERE EROS IS DEPICTED HOLDING ONTO REINS AND RIDING A MYTHOLOGICAL SEA BEAST, A CETUS OR SEA MONSTER, IN THIS CASE WITH THE HEAD OF A DOG WITH WEBBED FOREARMS AND A LONG SERPENTINE FISH TAIL. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF GREEK GODS AND HEROES RIDING SEA CREATURES, AND THIS IS A PLAYFUL RENDERING OF THAT THEME.
