Mythology is certainly a vast source from which an artist can draw on to create their works and, at the side of history, has always been one of the hottest topics represented in art history, particularly during the Italian Renaissance.
To enjoy aesthetically of a work that speaks of myth or logos or mythology, is necessary to know the theme. In this case Panteleimon Souranis explains who was the Titan Tethis, so allows us to appreciate his creative and sculptural skills, with a very good outcome.
