At the altar, Cambyses took a little time to observe the new goddess- Gaia.
She was a buxom lady, wearing a loose robe and with arms stretched towards her followers, a gentle smile gracing her face.
Her hair, made of wreaths of wheat, bunches of grapes, and vines of leaves draped over the shoulder and cascaded down to her hips, while around her feet were miniature animals such as
calves, ponies, and babies, seemingly frolicking around, their small size symbolizing the greatness of the goddess.
As Cambyses scrutinized the statue of Gaia, over time, she noted several 'abnormalities' with the statute'.
The biggest one was that the statue was dressed.
Statues of all kinds, be it the gods or humans were always sculpted in their natural form, both in Thesos and Adhania.
For humans, this was to show off their glory in the most raw form.
And for the gods, it was because they were thought to be of the perfect image and so they would show off their magnificent physics to the mortals.
