Mable statue of Apollo holding a kithara. Roman copy of the 2nd century AD of a Hellenistic original of about 200-150 BC From the temple of Apollo, Cyrene In this elaborately carved figure, the iconographical features of both Apollo and Dionysus, the wine-god, have been fused; the slipping himation and the sensual treatment of the flesh are typical of Dionysus, while the kithara and quiver characterise Apollo.
