Austrian Collector Needs to Learn Classical Mythology

 

Arthur Brand says that the reason why a simple Google search did not reveal where a statue of infant Bacchus owned by an Austrian collector belonged was that they don't know their mythology: 

Well, as you know with google, you have to find the right search-words. This statue was considered falsely to be an Adonis.

Adonis in a panther skin and shown as an infant. Yeah. These are the people that collect dugup antiquities to appear erudite. As they say "before you buy the antiquity, buy the book". Perhaps they should add "and read it too".
