[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 72170, member: 44"]I agree on Hermes on the right door, but isn't it the 3rd posted picture? He is holding a caduceus - the staff, and wearing winged sandals all symbols for him. The left door, the 2th pic posted, may be the Dionysus - the Greek god of wine, joy, theater and a lover of peace.
