  2. Apollo

    - made from clay
    - holes in the forehead and eyes, indicate that there were gems and jewels in those holes which have been stolen.
    - Apollo is much more stronger looking than the bronze warrior due to the fact that the name 'Apollo' was one of the Gods which the ancient Greeks believed in.
    - the Greeks could have possibly idolised Apollo the sculpture as their 'earth form god' (even though it stood at 20cm).
