3. Apollo (the sun god and drug god in Greek mythology)

Apollo is also called Phobos Apollo. Apollo on the Watchtower is the masterpiece of the sculptor Leo Calles in the 4th century BC. Originally made of bronze, it was 224 cm high. Due to the loss of the original work, the existing work is a replica of Roman marble, which is now in the Vatican Museum in Rome, Italy.

Apollo on the Watchtower depicts Apollo with an idealized standard of beauty and vividly depicts his posture when the arrow has left the string: his head is slightly raised, looking straight at the bow-holding arm in front, and his eyes reveal the joy of victory. The sculptor showed Apollo's graceful figure, symmetrical limbs and elegant figure with skillful carving skills, highlighting Apollo's clear expression and heroic temperament.
