<p>[QUOTE="Joseph Sarkissian, post: 3364629, member: 78162"][ATTACH=full]892390[/ATTACH]I think they are beautiful. They are both the symbols of the supreme deities of Ephesus, Artemis, daughter of Zeus. Apparently the stag always accompanies her. As the city was colonized by the Athenians around 800 BC, over an ancient Hittite citym Muses called Melissae (bees in Greek) led them to this place. The priestesses of Artemis were thus called Melissae (Μελισσαε).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
