Summary

[edit]
Description

Grave stele. Pentelic Marble. Found near the Olympieion, Athens. The stele has the form of a naiskos with pilasters, an epistyle and a pediment with palmette akroteria. The names of three men, presumably from the same falimy, are inscribed on the tympanum of the pediment, the horizontal cornice, and the epistyle. The stele was originally erected to Artemidoros son of Artemidoros of Bessa, whose name is inscribed on the epistyle, with the other two names added later. The dead Artemidoros is depicted hunting a boar with his dog. The clear indication of the natural landscape is notable. The tree with the hunter's bag hanging from it and the deer in the background suggest that the scene is set in a forest. At the bottom, two goats graze under the supervision of a dog. AD 160-180. National Archaeological Museum. Athens, Greece. --- Επιτύμβια στήλη. Μάρμαρο πεντελικό. Βρέθηκε στο Ολυμπείον στην Αθήνα. Έχει σχήμα ναίσκου με παραστάδες, επιστύλιο και αέτωμα με ανθεμωτά ακρωτήρια. Στο τύμπανο, στο οριζόντιο γείσο και στο επιστύλιο είναι χαραγμένα τα ονόματα τριών ανδρών της ίδιας προφανώς οικογένειας. Η στήλη ιδρύθηκε για τον Αρτεμίδωρο, γιό του Αρτεμίδωρου από τη Βήσσα, το όνομα του οποίου έχει χαραχθεί στο επιστύλιο, ενώ τα άλλα όνόματα έχουν προστεθεί αργότερα. Ο νεκρός Αρτεμίδωρος εικονίζεται να κυνηγά με το σκύλο του έναν κάπρο. Αξιοσημείωτη είναι η σαφής υποδήλωση του τοπίου. Το δένδρο, από το οποίο κρέμεται το δισάκι του κυνηγού, και το ελάφι στο βάθος μαρτυρούν ότι η σκηνή εξελίσσεται σε δάσος. Στο κάτω μέρος βόσκουν δύο αίγες υπό την επίβλεψη σκύλου. 160-180 μ.Χ.
