Cape Artemisium God

The Cape Artemisium God, Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge, June 2023

‘Zeus or Poseidon. The question is, did it hold the three-pronged spear or trident of the god of the sea, Poseidon, or is it throwing a thunderbolt like Zeus, the king of heaven? Zeus appears in a similar pose in bronze statuettes and on coins and vases.’

‘Date: c.460 BCE.   Provenance: Found in the sea off Cape Artemisium, Euboea, 1928.’
