While not nearly as well-known as its European namesake, when it comes to ancient Greek busts, the Athens Museum in Athens, Georgia, stands head and shoulders above the rest. In fact, the museum's collection of Hellenistic busts is so renowned that five of their most prized pieces, each of which was created by a different sculptor in a different medium and depicts a different Greek deity, has been lent to a different prominent European museum. With such international acclaim for their collection, the curators of the Athens Museum are finding it hard to keep success from going to their heads! From the information provided, can you determine the deity depicted in each sculptor's work, as well as the medium in which each bust was created, and the museum to which each is being lent?
Sculptor: Lysippus, Myron, Phidias, Praxiteles, Scopas
Deity: Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Poseidon, Zeus
Medium: Bronze, Gold, Ivory, Limestone, Marble
Museum: Acropolis Museum, British Museum, Glyptothek, The Louvre, Museo Delle Terme
1. The statue of Zeus (which isn't the one made by Lysippus) is made from gold.
2. Myron's bronze bust isn't the one being loaned to the Museo delle Terme in Rome, Italy (which isn't the museum borrowing the statue of Demeter).
3. Scopas was not the sculptor of the limestone bust currently on load to the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. The bust of Athena isn't made from limestone.
4. The British Museum in London, England, is borrowing either the bust of Demeter or the one depicting Zeus.
5. The bust carved by Praxiteles (which is on loan to the Louvre in Paris, France) and the one made by Scopas depict Apollo and Demeter, in some order.
6. The bust carved from ivory (which isn't the sculpture of Apollo) isn't on loan to the British Museum.
