Eric Stanford<\/a> was a student in the School of Art at the University of Reading<\/a> in the 1950s, and his sculpting professor A.C. Carter<\/a> was a colleague of Percy Ure\u2019s. Stanford developed his interest in Classical myths and the themes they evoked later in his career. He worked on these sculptures in 1990, whilst using the University of Reading\u2019s facilities at Bulmershe to create Reading\u2019s Spanish Civil War Monument<\/a> (now in the Forbury Gardens<\/a>). Stanford donated Protesilaus<\/a> and Helen<\/a> to the University ArtsCollection<\/a> to thank the University for the hospitality. Another sculpture he worked on the same year, Memnon<\/a>, is on loan from a private collection to the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology.<\/span><\/p>\n
