Bronze statue of the goddess Artemis.
Numéro d’image : 12987372
| This is one of 2 bronze statues of the goddess Artemis found buried in a votive pit in Piraeus, Athens in 1959. The statue measures 1.94m in height and is dated to the Classical period, second half of the fourth century B.C.E. Artemis is the Olympian goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity; in time, she also became associated with childbirth and nature. No more than a few days old, she helped her mother Leto give birth to her twin brother Apollo. Artemis was very protective of her and her priestesses' innocence. Even though Plato says that the name 'Artemis' is related to her virginity and the Ancient Greek word for 'unharmed'or 'pure', we now know that its origin is undoubtedly different and possibly even Persian. The sculpture is on display at the Piraeus Archaeological Museum. | |
