Description
  • Deutsch: Wahrscheinlich ein Votivrelief im NAMA, Nr. 1450.
  • English: Votive relief, Pentelic marble, 2nd c. C.E.
    Polydeukes/Polydeukion was the favorite pupil and beloved of stoic philosopher and millionaire philanthropist Herodes Atticus. He died while still a youth, and his mentor organized a cult in his honor, analogous to that devised by Hadrian for Antinous. Here he is shown with heroic attributes: the serpent, and his nudity.
    National Archeological Museum, Athens, Nr 1450.
  • Italiano: Rilievo di epoca romana imperiale ritraente l'Apoteosi (divinizzazione) di Polydeukes (in italiano: Polideuce o Polluce), uno studente del filosofo ed uomo politico Erode Attico, da lui amato. Polluce è qui rappresentato, nonostante i tratti da adolescente, come un Eroe mitico: nudo, con accanto uno schiavetto che gli porge le armi, il cavallo da guerra, e il serpente, simbolo mistico di vita e rinascita, ma anche uno degli animali in cui si pensava che gli eroi si reincarnassero per manifestarsi ai vivi. Il rilievo è conservato presso il Museo archeologico nazionale di Atene e data agli anni 170-177 d.C. Numero di catalogo: 1450.
