The next sculpture that we're featuring in honour of Pride Month is the Apollo Lykeios!

In ancient Greece, Apollo represented youthful male beauty. He was sort of like a counterpart to Aphrodite, the goddess of feminine beauty. The ideal male youth in Graeco-Roman culture displayed some feminine qualities and some masculine ones. Thus, sculptures of Apollo often represent this ideal by carefully balancing masculine and feminine physical attributes. Apollo also had many lovers in mythology, and pursued relationships with both men and women.
