Auris Arrectibus Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) This one is quite easy, largely because of the lyre he's holding. But if you had to go on a bust alone, could you identify this god? number 30 I don't know if one could identify this statue without the kithara. For instance, Ganymedes could then also be a candidate. Apollo (Phoebus) is often represented as a youngster, naked (upper)body, fit but not too athletic and well groomed hairstyle, almost feminine. Holding one arm up over his head is also a Apollo-like pose. Especially when it's his right arm (and you don't know what is in his left), because Apollo was a right-handed guy: the kithara allways in his left hand. But, what could he be holding in his right hand? A javelin with plague (not likely) or maybe a ritual phial?
