Description and history
The sculptures were created during the 1960s; among depicted figures from Greek mythology are Aphrodite, Hercules, Medusa, Orpheus, and The Phoenix.[1][2][3][4]
The sculptures were originally located just south of the Horticultural Building. When that building was leased as an event space, the sculptures were fenced off from the rest of Exhibition Place by the lessee. After a public campaign by Cox's daughter and the resolution of a legal dispute between the Exhibition Place Governors and the nightclub, the sculptures were moved in 2022 to the present location just east of the Rose Garden, south of the CNE Bandshell and are publicly accessible.[5]
