    Those are three very different objects, S Wolf.
    The first statuette in this thread is of a Greek Goddess karyatid, but it is by no means from the Cycladic civilisation. It is cast metal.

    The second one is a Cycladic copy, as you said. These were not reproduced continually throughout history. They started making these hand carved stone souvenirs by the thousands after the originals were excavated by archaeologists.
    As you can see, the Cycladic style is much older and more basic than your first figurine. The original was made by a very different civilisation from your Goddess.
    The Cycladic civilisation just happened to be in the same part of the world as the original of your karyatid. The same part of the world doesn't mean they are from the same civilisation.

    The third one, of the creepy selling story, looks recently made from some kind of plaster.
    The story serves to attract interest, preferably from a first time buyer of occult objects. The price is ridiculous.
    But it has nothing at all to do with either your Goddess or the Cycladic one, so you are safe.;)
