This sculpture depicts Zeus, god of the Olympus with an eagle by his side. The head of the god and that of the eagle are considered to be modern parts.
The eagle is often depicted on Zeus’ side, the eagle is in fact the god’s messenger and his most loyal animal and companion. According to the mythololgy, the eagle was once a mortal human being named Periphas. Periphas was a king who was celebrated and known like a god within the mortals. Zeus got angry at him and threw him a thunderbolt, Apollon intervened transforming the king into an eagle and sitting him beside Zeus as a punishment.
Other stories narrate how the golden eagle was never a human being, he was adopted by Zeus as a sign of good omen before the Titan War.
