This week, Debbie’s One Word Sunday theme is “Found” the opposite of last week’s theme, “Lost.”
Taking a cue from Debbie’s response, the statue of Antinous (110-130 CE), a favorite of Roman Emperor Hadrian, was found at Delphi, Greece in 1893 was discovered standing upright on its pedestal next to the wall of a brick chamber alongside the temple.
The photo below is from 1893 when the sculpture was found. It is now displayed at the Delphi Archeological Museum.
There is a famous story in Japan about Hachikō, a faithful Akita who lost its master when he died at work. For nine years, Hachikō returned daily to Shibuya Station in Tokyo hoping for the master’s return. They found each other in eternity at Aoyama Cemetery in Tokyo.

Debbie’s post and other responses to the this week’s theme are here. Join the fun.

Hmm! Not sure I’d agree. I think poor Antinous is missing a piece of his parts. 😄

Love the story about the dog and the old photo of the find. How exciting to find something like that! Delphi is an amazing place. Your statue reminds me of our visits to the Cleveland Museum of Art (wonderful museum) when our girls were small. They’d always want to see the statues without heads and ask me what happened to them. 🙂

Hachikō is an amazing story. Did your girls have ideas about what happened to the statues? Kids have wonderful imaginations.
Antinous also seems to be missing various parts. Thanks for your comment Janet. Be well. John

I don’t recall whether they had any crazy ideas. 😁. It was quite a few years ago.
