This is the last of the three statues located at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. There is debate as to whether or not it is Persephone or Hebe. Of the three bought, this one had no title to indicate which Goddess she represented. Most seem to lean towards Persephone. All three statues were taken from the demolished Marion County Courthouse in 1962. The statues themselves were from the late 1800s.

“Two nearly identical relief panels decorate different facades of a rowhouse building, one panel entitled “Apollo” and the other “Aurora.” The Apollo panel is painted yellow and depicts a fiery chariot driven by Apollo, pulled by a team of horses plunging wildly to the right. Above one of the horses is a cherub. In the foreground are three women in classical dress holding hands, in dance poses. The Aurora panel is painted dark green.“

“Syrinx is a public artwork by German-born American sculptor Adolph Wolter located at the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.[1] It is a bronze figure of Syrinx sitting on a limestone tree stump. Syrinx is nude, and her proper right knee is bent upwards to her chest with her other leg hanging over the side of the stump. She holds her hand to her ear, cupping it, "listening" to the music of the nearby sculpture of the satyr Pan, who plays a flute.[1]”

If you live in Indianapolis, and you worship Pan, you should know about this statue! He's located at the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza. "Pan was originally designed by Myra Reynolds Richards. Richards' original Syrinx and Pan sculptures were dedicated in 1923. Eventually, both pieces were stolen, with Syrinx disappearing in 1959 and Pan c. 1970. The parks department commissioned Adolph Wolter to replace the pieces, and in 1973 they were reinstalled in their current location in University Park at the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza. However, Wolter's Pan would eventually be stolen as well, and sculptor Roger White was commissioned to replace the piece. Pan was replaced in 1980 by White." --Wikipedia
