The Greek Goddess

Eos is known in Greek mythology as the Titan Goddess of Dawn. Her brother was known as the sun and her sister was known as the moon. This beautiful statue, sitting in between the COB parking lot and the Indigo Hotel on 5th Street, was purchased from the statue's artist Dessa Kirk by two individuals determined to keep her here in Columbus. After several fund raisers, the task was accomplished and Eos became the property of Columbus. I remember when I first saw her...I was "amazed" at her beauty. I just sat and stared at her. She look so real that I honestly thought she was one of those "life-like" statues.

Thanks to everyone that helped keep her here. She is truly magnificent.
