even the god Dionysus, who inhabited on the island, according to mythology.
These are two such statues today on the island of Naxos: one outside Melanes village, in the centre of Naxos, and another outside Apollonas village, on the northeastern. The statues, which date from the 8th and the 6th centuries BC, have not been moved from the location they were found, the location where they lay for hundreds of years now.
Remains of ancient temples surround both statues.
