Byron Monument Located in the Zappeion Gardens, at the intersection of Queen Amalia and Queen Olga Streets, this sculptural composition represents Greece crowning Lord Byron. It was completed after the death of its financier, benefactor and president of the Byron Association, Dimitrios Stefanovich Skylitsis, and its first sculptor, Henri Michel Antoine Chapu (1833-1891). The work was continued by the classical sculptor Jean Alexandre Joseph Falquier (1831-1900) and completed by the Greek sculptor Lazarus Sochos.→
