Head of a bearded god. Pantelic Marble. Found in Piraeus, in a sanctuary of EEtioneia. It repersents Zeus or Hermes This may be the head of the herm dedicated by Python from Abdera in Thrace, a work of the Parian sculptor Euphron. 450-440 BC |
Votive relief. Panatenaic Marble. Found in Eleusis. This is the largest known votive relief. Dedicated to the sanctuary of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis, it represents the Eleusinian deities in a scene of mysteraic ritual. At left, Demeter, clad in a peplos and holding a scepter in her left hand, offers ears of wheat to Triptolemos son of the Eleusinian King Keleos, to bestow on mankind. At right, Proserphone, clad in chiton and mantle and holding a torch, blesses Triptolemos with her right hand. The magnificence of the image and, particularly, the large scale of the relief sugges that it was not a simple votive dedication but rather associated with cult. The relief was apparently famous in antiquity and was copied in the Roman period. One of its copies is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. ca 440-430 BC |
