The
Facing Head of Helios -
The Greek Sun-God
|
|
|
Sun worshiping is not a recent fad, but rather an
ancient tradition. The Greeks and Romans were especially
serious about their devotion to their solar deities,
which the Greeks named Helios and the Romans named
Sol. The front of this coin depicts the facing head
of Helios with rays of the sun emanating in all
directions. The back shows a rose, which is a punning
allusion to Rhodos, the name of the city which issued
the coin. read

Only
Two Were Forever
|
|
|
Gorgon,
in Greek Mythology, were the three monstrous daughters
of the sea god Phorcys and his wife, Ceto. The Gorgon
were terrifying, dragonlike creatures, covered with
golden scales and having snakes for hair. They had
huge wings and round, ugly faces; their tongues
were always hanging out, and they had large, tusklike
teeth. They lived on the farthest side of the western
ocean, shunned because their glance turned persons
to stone. read
