Mercury about to Kill Argus

Jupiter once had an affair with one of his wife Juno’s priestesses, but Juno found out and punished the priestess by turning her into a heifer, which she let a monster called Argus guard. Jupiter therefore asked his son Mercury, the flying messenger of the gods recognizable by his winged hat, to help with freeing the priestess. This was a difficult task as Argus had eyes all over his body. Cunningly, Mercury offered to play his shepherd’s pipe for Argus. Mercury played for so long that Argus eventually became tired and closed his many eyes. It is this exact moment that Mercury is about to take advantage of by killing Argus with his sword.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.
