Hermes and the Infant Dionysus
Hermes and the Infant Dionysus is an ancient Greek sculpture of Hermes and the infant Dionysus discovered in 1877 in the ruins of the Temple of Hera, Olympia, in Greece. According to the myth, Zeus gave the infant Dionysus to the care of Hermes to hide him from Hera's wrath, as Dionysus was the only god born from a mortal mother and Zeus. Hermes is represented in the act of carrying the child Dionysus to the nymphs who he charged with his rearing. The uplifted right arm is missing but may have held out to the child a bunch of grapes to symbolize his future as the god of wine. Early historians attributed this masterpiece to Praxiteles and dated to the 4th century B.C. However, this attribution is fiercely contested among art historians, as no ancient replicas of it have been identified.
