Athena Nike Temple Parapet Slab E. 1.
Summary edit
| Description |
English: Athena Nike Temple Parapet Slab E. 1. Acr 977. The "A Master". Around 410 BC.
Fragment from the left half of a slab that comes from the parapet built around the Temple of Athena Nike. The slab most likely comes from the parapet’s northeast corner. It was found overturned, as it was after it had fallen off from its original place, in 1880 during excavations conducted at the goddess’ sanctuary.A Nike, perhaps barefoot, walks up a staircase in haste. She is clad in a chiton with long sleeves and over it a fine himation. She stretches out her right hand and as a drill shows, she would have held an object, possibly an incense burner (thymiaterion). The stairs stand for the actual sanctuary staircase creating the impression that the Nike mentally escorted each visitor upon their entering the shrine’s premises. |
