Summary

Description

Χ13396. Bronze statue of a youth.

From the Antikythera shipwreck. The figure has been identified with Perseus, who would have been holding the head of Medusa. More probably, however, it depicts Paris, who would have been holding the "apple of Strife", ready to award it to the most beautiful goddess, Aphrodite. Attributed to the Sikyonian sculptor Euphranor. About 340-330 BC.

The restoration of the statue was completed in 1953 under the financial assistance of a member of the Greek community abroad John Lagonikos. National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece. --- Χ13396. Χάλκινο άγαλμα νέου.

Βρέθηκε σε αρχαίο ναυάγιο στη θάλασσα των Αντικυθήρων. Η μορφή ταυτίζεται είτε με τον Περσέα που κρατούσε το κεφάλι της Μέδουσας είτε, το, πιθανότερο, με τον Πάρι που θα κρατούσε το «μήλον της Έριδος" για να το προσφέρει κατά τη στιγμή της κρίσης στην ωραιότερη θεά, την Αφροδίτη. Αποδίδεται στο Σικυώνιο γλύπτη Ευφράνορα. Γύρω στο 340 - 330 π.Χ Η ανασύσταση του αγάλματος έγινε το 1953 με την οικονομική ενίσχυση του Έλληνα ομογενή Ιω. Λαγονίκου.
