Silenus

0.0 x 0.0

Silenus is the ancient titan whose life covered all five centuries of the mankind. He walked the Earth, saw everything, participated in events and has a lot to tell to the careful listener. The kind welcome of Silenus by the king Midas has been generously rewarded by Dionis. Silenus agrees to supervise Dionis on one condition: "The question should be precise". Tales of the ancient times communicated by Silen seem like mysterious fiction to unprepared listener that causes problems only to the listener as Silen is always honest and doesn't make up anything. The major difficulty of understanding the narrator can be explained by fact that his tales come from the most ancient times of the mankind and the essence of the stories can be completely understood only by the listeners of our time which more listeners. Subject Description: Fine white marble sculpture of a mythological character, a male with goat's legs is seated on the flat stone with half turned torso, one arm on the knees and another supporting the flat stone. The sculpture is perfectly composed, combines various techniques and produces great impact on the observer.
