On one side stands a magnificent clockface, an emblematic timekeeper that has witnessed countless journeys throughout history. Its meticulously carved numerals remind us of the importance of every passing minute in our fast-paced lives. Beside it, towering figures emerge from stone with awe-inspiring detail. On one hand is Hercules, symbolizing strength and power as he sits in a recumbent position. On the other hand stands Mercury, messenger of the gods with his winged sandals and caduceus staff. Nearby is Minerva, a legendary female figure representing wisdom and strategic warfare. These stonework masterpieces not only add artistic allure to Grand Central Terminal but also serve as reminders of ancient mythologies intertwined with modernity.
