After seeing Ephesus ( Efes ), we went back to Selcuk and took in the museum, where they have most of the amazing statues found at Ephesus and kept safe from the elements. We found two other tourists, James and Stella, who joined us for the museum and were great company for the next day at Pergamum. Then, "home" to wonderful KALEHAN Hotel, with GREAT food and superb staff. Re photos: No flash was allowed in the museum, so the results are fairly grainy. |

'Great Artemis' headdress has a temple on top. |
Detail. Note lions hugging arms. Face is more benign-looking in enlargement. |

The 'Beautiful Artemis' As with Cybele, 2 feline animals are at her side. |

Scholars differ. Are those eggs, multiple breasts, or bulls' testicles? |
Lions cling to arm area on this Artemis also. Note eyeballs remain on this one. |
