About this 3D model

Originally, this statue is one of two. It portrayed Creugas and Damoxenos, two boxers from antiquity, made by Antonio Canova. Canova’s sculptures represent the two mythical characters involved in a fight without a winner; the legend was that, after the last blow given to each by the two boxers, Damoxenos destroyed his opponent, Creugas. He simulated an attack on Creugante head, but he hit him instead in the bowels, causing his death. Therefore, the judges exiled Demoxenos and erected a statue in the Temple of Jupiter in Arcadia in Creugas's honour.
