My World Tuesday

Visiting Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney is a wonderful experience. There are lots of things to see and do there. Aside from the different kinds of plants , flowers, gardens, ponds, fountains, wildlife and views to offer, they have also sculptures, memorials and statues installed around the garden. While strolling around, we came across this monument, Choragic Monument of Lysicrates.Here's what was inscribed on its plaque. You can also refer to the bottom picture.
"This monument is a copy of the original Choragic Monument of Lysicrates which dates back to 334 B C and still stands near the Acropolis in Athens.
It was carved in 1870 by Sydney stonemason Walter McGill from Pyrmont yellowblock sandstone, and is one of only a few particularly fine examples of Corinthian architecture in Australia. It originally stood in the Potts Point garden of Sir James Martin, former Premier of NSW, and reflects his love of classical literature, art and mythology. It was moved to the Royal Botanic Garden in 1943."
