How does this Roman torso get identified as #Apollo? Just look at his glutes!
#BumDayMonday

A Roman marble torso of Apollo, depicted lifesized, standing in contrapposto with his weight on his right leg, the left slightly advanced, with both arms lowered, the left pulled slightly back. The lithe figure has softly-modelled musculature, his long serpentine tendrils falling onto each shoulder, preserving a tree trunk support along the right thigh, and a smaller rectangular strut at the back of the left thigh. The position of the arms, though mostly broken off now, suggests that this may …

Marble sculpture of Hermes Chthonios, Hermes of the Underworld, perhaps representing a syncretism of Hermes in his Underworld aspect with a deceased individual who has been heroized. The god is in the nude with only a himation draped over his left shoulder. There is a tree trunk with a snake coiling around it to his right.

A late Day of Hermes and #BumDayMonday post 🐏
"I see him there at the oars of his little boat in the lake, the ferryman of the dead, Charon, with his hand upon the oar and he calls me now."
Euripides, Alcestis 252

Vase painting on a white background. Hermes in a bright red chlamys cloak guides the soul of a dead woman towards the bark of Charon. Hermes is bearded and carries his kerykeion staff and wears a broad-rimmed petasos, a traveller's hat, on his head. Charon is dressed in a black, knee-length exomis that leaves his right breast bare. He also wears a hat. The deceased woman wears a long black himation around her body and as a veil.

A late Day of Hermes and #BumDayMonday post 🐏
"Hear me, Hermes, messenger of Zeus, son of Maia.
Almighty is your heart, O lord of the deceased and judge of contests.
Gentle and clever, O Argeiphontes, you are a guide whose sandals fly,
And a man-loving prophet to mortals.
You are vigorous and you delight in exercise and in deceit."
Orphic Hymn 28

…
Marble sculpture of Hermes atop a roof. His upper body is missing but he can be identified by his winged sandals. A himation is draped around him but it goes underneath his bottom, letting us peek at his shapely buttocks.
