His likeness is depicted in a high relief on the stone unclothed and in profile facing left. He stands on a predella with legs separated as if walking forward. With his right hand, he holds a small flower bud up to his nose. The viewer can infer that the flower's scent is pleasing because he is carved to have an archaic smile. Archaic smiles like these were commonly used by 6th-century Greek sculptors to infuse a sense of liveliness and good cheer into their works. Mnasitheos, with his left hand, holds a rooster before him, covering his groin region. Male sexual organs were lewdly linked in Attic Greek with many animals including sparrows but the word rooster (ἀλέκτωρ) cannot stand in for any of the many ancient words for penis making it unlikely that the sculptor was playing with his words. Rather these symbols, the flower and the rooster, are motifs of a common type of love-gift given by erastes (ἐραστής) to their young eromenos' (ἐρώμενος). The practice of giving these gifts was likely been in reference to the god Eros' connection with the bird. Underneath the feet of the rooster, the following inscription is written "ΜΝΑΣΙΘΕΙΟ:ΜΝΕΜΕΙ/ΜΙ ΕΠΟΔΟΙ:ΚΑΛΟΝ / ΑΛΑΜΕΘΕΚΕΝ:ΠΥΡΙ / ΨΟΣ:ΑΡΨΑΙΕΣ:ΑΝΤΙ / ΦΙΛΕΜΟΣΥΝΕΣ."

This was likely done in honor of their role in the Persian War and Ionian Revolt. It would have been used at Delphi to make large sacrificial offerings to the gods. The southern wall of the altar is made from rectangular cut black Eleusinsian stone that has been topped with a cornice of flat marble on which is another inscription that can be viewed here. A single white cornerstone has been placed in the lower right foundation on which has been inscribed the words "ΔΕΛΦΟΙ ΕΔΩΚΑΝ ΧΙΟΙΣ ΠΡΟΜΑΝΤΕΙΗΝ." Using the scale in the photo we can see that the dimensions of the cornerstone is approximately 3.5 x 2 cats long. The use of black limestone rather than the typical white marble stone of the same period magnifies the grandeur of the altar, striking the viewer in its contrast. The altar was restored in the 1920's by the people of Chios.

The pediment survives with carved and painted details including acroteria carved in the form of palmettes and a painted pomegranate centered in the triangular space. Under the geison is inscribed a poetic epitaph in six line or three elegaic couplets. The deceased is identified as Aristodike, the daugher of Aristomachos whose family is well know and important in Pagasai. Other stelae indicate Aristodike has a brother Hygiamenes and a niece named Anthis. It is possible she is from a Cretan mercenary family. Under the inscription are two rosettes, marked out in paint. In the painted scene a woman is seated on a chair facing to the right and behind her a smaller figure, perhaps a child, stands with a worried pose. Archidike wears a chiton and himation and appears to be daydreaming; attendant looks grief stricken. There are some problems with body proportions and musculature, but the shading is masterful. The woman wears her himation over her head, as if married, but no husband is mentioned in the epitaph. Inscription is immediately under the geison. εἰ κέκρικας χρηστὴν, Ῥαδάμανθυ, γυναῖκα καὶ ἄλλην/ ἢ Μίνως, καὶ τήνδε οὖσαν Ἀριστομάχου/ κούρην. εἰς Μακάρων Νήσους ἄγετ᾿!

There are two figures on the front. The figures, although not labeled, can be identified as Herakles and Athena thanks to their attributes. Herakles, as he is in many ancient art scenes, is wearing a lion's skin cloak and carrying a club in reference to his triumphant defeat of the Nemean Lion during the Twelve Labors. Athena is wearing her typical warrior's helmet in reference to her being both the Goddess of wisdom and born from the head of Zeus. The two figures are centered between two large eyes above the left of which is the painted "ΝΙΚΟΣΘΕΝΕΣ ΕΠΟΙΕΣΕΝ." There are three figures painted on the reverse of the cup that are not pictured here. Their identities are not as easily deduced but can be viewed at the Getty Museum online catalog for the item (see sources below).

This reconstructed rim depicts a scene from the ending books of The Iliad. According to myth, Achilles has, at this point, killed Hector and dragged his corpse around the city of Troy three times in vengeful retribution of the death of Patroklus, Achilles' beloved. Achilles has allowed neither Hector's nor Patroklus' body to go through proper funeral rites, wallowing in his ungodly rage and grief. Finally, Achilles is convinced to bury the body of Patroklus. After the burial, Achilles sets about hosting a spectacular set of funeral games in honor of his beloved Patroklus. Shortly afterward, Achilles also releases the body of Hektor back to Troy. The burying of the body of Patroklus, the funeral games, and the release of Hektor mark an end to Achilles mighty rage as well as an end to The Iliad. This fragment of an ancient dinos (a mixing bowl for wine) depicts these very same funeral games to Patroklus. Along the upper rim a black figure rooster, lion, goat, and two other partial animals walk in either direction. Directly below this, a looping collar has been designed that alternates between red and black. The main scene shows a four-horse chariot racing across towards a seated crowd of spectators. Behind the heads of the horses, we can still see an "ΟΣ" written. This was once the masculine singular nominative noun ending of the name of the racing chariot's driver. The audience, done in the black figure and painted with red detail, sit on bleachers watching the horses. In the airspace before the audience, two lines are written almost as if to imply that the words were hanging in the air from their last cheer. "ΣΟΦ[Ι]ΛΟΣ:ΜΕΓΡΑ[ΠΣ]ΕΝ // ΠΑΤΡΟϘΛΥΣ:ΑΤΛΑ" slopes downwards across the bowl, written in a rather sloppy script. Some letters have been lost in the fragmentation of the bowl. Both lines are written in retrograde. We can see the beginning of another crowd sitting on the backside of the bleachers facing the other direction. While we no longer have the part of the bowl showing what they were watching, we know it must've been something featuring Achilles because the name, "ΑΧΙΛΕΣ" also rises from the crowd. Below all of these events, we can see the floor of the Earth held up on the decorative heads and tails of lions.

Title A name given to the resource Corinthian Aryballos Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Amelia Verkerk, Tina Salowey (photo) Description An account of the resource There are two inscriptions on this Corinthian black-figure aryballos. On this aryballos, Herakles battles the Hydra while Athena stands with her hands raised up as if supporting the hero. Herakles grasps one head of the Hydra as he stabs at the monster with his sword. Painted inscriptions identify each of these figures. The handle of the aryballos is decorated with a geometric pattern. The top of the aryballos is decorated as a flower with pedals surrounding the opening of the vase. Under the aryballos’ handle, there are horses pulling a chariot. An aryballos was a container to store perfume or oil. Corinthian pottery at this time was typically designed with rows of animals without any inscriptions, making this particular aryballos unique.

Under the geison is a painted scene, underneath which is a 6 line inscription in ancient Greek. The grave monument is restored from two pieces found separately but clearly joining. The painted scene is remarkable for its color, sense of depth, and complex narrative. In the foreground, the painted scene displays a woman laid out on a decorative couch, with a man who is seated at her feet, looking at her closely. In the background, a complex, multi-dimensional architectural scene is depicted. A partition wall separates the couch from a back hallway in which an older woman stands, cradling the presumably dead infant in her arms. A door way leads from this space into an undefined area in which a younger girl, perhaps a household attendant, stands. This partition of space and illusion of receding domestic realms is unique among the extant painted stelai from Demetrias Pagasai. Unlike the other painted stelai, which are compositionally similar to their sculpted Classical counterparts from 5th and 4th century BCE Attica, the Hediste stele presents a narrative, rather than just an emblematic display of the deceased surrounded by family and friends.

(transcription). The Fates spun out a painful thread from their spindles for Hediste, when she, as a bride, encountered childbirth. Oh enduring is she, not intended to embrace her child, nor even to water the lip of her own offspring with the breast. One light looked upon them both and Tyche led them both into a single tomb, coming upon them indistinguishably.

This script is a syllabic representation of ancient Greek that was used before the Phonecian alphabet arrived. Many of the tablets that have survived are ledgers of goods and animals. Clay tablets were the choice writing surface for these ledgers because the numbers on them could be erased and rewritten as often as their correlating contents circulated. These tablets were never meant to be permanent. Yet many have survived to this day because whenever there was a fire that destroyed the buildings in which these tablets were stored, the clay tablets would harden as if in a kiln and preserve what was last written. A perfect snapshot of an ancient market. This particular tablet comes from the Knossos Palace on the island of Crete. There were actually two fires at this site. This tablet was hardened during the first fire around 1500 BCE.

Title A name given to the resource Mantiklos "Apollo" Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Amelia Verkerk; Christina Salowey (photograph) Description An account of the resource Mantiklos “Apollo” is an 8 inch (20.3 cm) bronze votive statuette of Apollo. The statuette is an offering to the god, Apollo, and is missing his right arm and lower half of his legs. In his left hand, there is a hole, possibly once held a bow. His body is disproportionate as was common in early Greek sculpture. He has an elongated neck supported by his long hair and large chest. His waist narrows down to his thighs and crotch which is where the inscription is. The inscription begins on his right thigh, moving towards his crotch before curving around to his left thigh. The letters then curl up back up to the crotch before ending on the right thigh. This type of script is called boustrophedon. The inscription is dedicated to the god Apollo, making this a dedicatory inscription. Votive offerings were used to thank the gods and their dedicatory inscriptions often used the verb ’ανέθηκε (dedicated) and the noun δεκάτας (tithe), which both are inscribed on Mantiklos “Apollo”.

This inscription is a common Greek phrase associated with the Eastern Orthodox Church that is thought to have originated from Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (c. 329 BCE - Jan 25 390 BCE). The inscription, "ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑ ΝΟΨΙΝ," is a palindrome which means it can be read the same way backward and forwards. This phrase can be found inscribed outside of many churches around the world. Most notably, a mosaic of the phrase arches over the holy water font outside the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. This phrase is always found beside water-related iconography or near holy fonts outside of churches because it is a common practice for members of the church to have to cleanse oneself with holy water before entering church space. That tradition is maintained here by having an amphora painted below the words. ON CAN: ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑ ΝΟΨΙΝ TRANSCRIPTION: Νίψον ανομήματα μη μόναν όψιν.

The statue and base inscription were found separately; the former being found in excavation in modern day Merenda (ancient Myrrhinus) and the latter being found in a church in Merenda. The statue is of a young woman wearing a decorated peplos (πέπλος) and shoes, a floral headpiece, a necklace and bracelet. In her left hand, she holds a lotus bud while her right hand is hanging by the side of her body holding her peplos. She stands at 1.79 meters (5.87 feet) without the base (standing 2.115 meters – 6.93 feet – with the base). The statue was originally painted with the peplos being red. According to the inscription, the statue and grave were for Phrasikleia. The inscription was difficult to read because a majority of the letters on both inscriptions has been damaged. However, once removed from the church, the letters were able to be reconstructed. The inscription mentions that Phrasikleia was unmarried but unusually does not mention a father or brother’s name, leaving her name as the only identifier for the grave. The inscription on the right side of the base reveals Aristion of Paros as the sculptor of this grave marker.

The leading woman is pouring a libation from a jug while the other two women follow behind. The women are dressed in chiton and peplos, and their clothes are painted red and blue. Two of the boys are musicians, one playing the flute and the other playing the lyre. The third boy is leading a sheep to the altar to be sacrificed. The inscription makes it clear this is a votive offering.

There is a preserved tang at the bottom to fit into a base. The epistyle block is inscribed with the deceased name, and a longer prose inscription is found at the top of the painted scene. The painted scene is framed by the pilasters of the naiskos form and depicts a standing young man on the left and a seated man on the right. The standing man, dressed in a short red chiton and a white himation draped over his left shoulder, grasps the right hand of the seated man, most likely Stratonikos the deceased. The seated man is swathed in a himation that covers his legs. Both men wear footwear. The bench on which the man sits is topped by a cushion. A small black herm (Hermes Chthonios) is drawn at the bottom of the right pilaster of the naiskos. An inscription is carved shallowly on the epistyle in letters painted black. Under the epistyle is carved a metrical inscription in smaller letters. ΣΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΟΣ ΣΤΡΑΤΩΝΟΣ; Stratonikos, son of Stratōn; ψυχὴν μὲν ἐνείδομεν, ἣ προελίνπα-νεν· ὀστέα δὲ ὧδε μητρί τε καὶ ἀδελφῇ ἀνιηρὸν κῆδος ἵκανεν; We observe your life that has forsaken you. So bones have arrived as a unholy care for your mother and sister (Tina Salowey).
