From the intriguing portrayal of Baphomet, a monstrous creature adorned with a goat head and woman's body, to the majestic statue of Anubis or Hermanubis, this emblem embodies an array of ancient beliefs. One cannot help but be enthralled by Mercury riding Pegasus - the Horse of Marly crafted from marble in 1701-02. This masterpiece captures the essence of speed and grace as it immortalizes this legendary duo. Hermes takes center stage in Promethee Enchaine by Aeschylus, published in 1941. The pochoir print brings forth Hermes' enigmatic persona as he navigates through tales intertwined with divine intervention. Intriguingly portrayed is Hercules Initiating the Olympic Games on a captivating tapestry dating back to c. 1450-75. This depiction showcases Hercules' strength and his pivotal role in establishing one of history's most celebrated sporting events.

A stunning marble Statue of Mercury created between 140-160 AD stands tall among other masterpieces. Its intricate details pay homage to Roman craftsmanship while embodying Mercury's multifaceted nature as messenger god and patron deity over commerce. Master I. B. 's creation titled "Mercury from The Gods Who Preside Over the Planets" (1528) adds yet another layer to our understanding of this mythical figure.
