fourteenth:birdonwing:azidahaka:Greek Statue - Lilith Crying:This is believed to be a Greek or Turkish statue of Lilith, unearthed in what is now modern Turkey. Her wings have been broken off, as have her feet and lower torso.I wish I could find a better source for this ( what is a “Greek" or “Turkish" statue anyway, those countries didn’t even exist at the time and modern day Turkey is rather large - I’d love something more specific, as well as a date, etc.)This statue is most probably Hellenistic–a period of ancient Greek history between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the emergence of ancient Rome signified by the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the subsequent conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt in 30 BC.
