«The mythological figures, according to the sculptors, signify sacred and profane love, the two underlying forces which are basic in the development of art and civilization in every age. Among the figures represented are Jupiter, Venus, Aurora, Cupid and Adonis. They, together with the figures of a lion, a mighty serpent and an owl, all made from polychrome terra cotta, symbolize the influences which produced western culture. --- Pennsylvania: A Guide to the Keystone State, 1940; page 362»
«Eos, Nous, Adonis, Hippomenes (lion), Eros, Aphrodite, Zeus, Demeter, Triptolemus, Ariadne, Theseus, Minotaur, and Python (...) The central figure is Zeus, ruler of the gods. He stands holding a sphere in his proper right hand and a scepter in his proper left hand. His nude figure is draped with a piece of fabric and a decorative band across his chest. On his head he wears a crown. To his proper left is Demeter, protector of marriage, holding the hand of the child Triptolemus whom she rescued from a mortal illness. Next is Ariadne; Theseus slaying the Minotaur; and the beast Python. To the proper right of Zeus, is Aphrodite, goddess of love, and her son, Eros; Hippomenes in the form of a lion; Adonis; Nous (the mind); and Eos, goddess of the dawn. Eos turns away from the owl, bird of the night, which is located on the end of the pediment.»
