Summary

[edit]
Description

Marble votive relief dedicated to the goddess Bendis, a Thracian goddess akin to the Greek Artemis. Bendis, standing to the right, is approached by a group of mortal votaries, eight naked athletes led by two bearded and draped officials, perhaps trainer and sponsor. The first official carries a torch and so identifies the athletes as members of a torch race relay team. The athletes wear wreaths in their hair.

Excavated/Findspot Piraeus, Probably from the area of a sanctuary of Bendis, on the south-west slope of the Mounychia Hill
