Description
English: Limestone statuette of a nude kouros (standing youth).

Made in Cyprus, 500-475 BC. From the sanctuary of Apollo at Idalion. Idalion was an ancient city in Cyprus, near modern Dali, Nicosia District. Excavated by R H Lang GR 1872.8-16.5 (Sculpture C 85).

Idalion was one of 10 Cypriot kingdoms listed on the prism (many-sided tablet) of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (680–669 BC). Eventually dominated by the Phoenician city of Citium, it became the centre of a cult of Aphrodite and of the Helleno-Phoenician deity Resheph-Apollo. A terra-cotta model found there (now in the Louvre) is believed to represent the Resheph-Apollo temple.
