Summary

[edit]
Relief of Athenian doctors in the form of a shrine: Asklepio
Title
Relief of Athenian doctors in the form of a shrine: Asklepio
Description

Relief of Athenian doctors in the form of a shrine. On the left, behind Demeter seated on a well (of the 'Mystic basket') stands Persephone with two torches. In front of the figures Asklepios standing receives six worshippers wearing hematia. Below the representation, five large olive wreaths in low relief and the names of five dedicators, the three sons of famous doctors. The wreaths bear witness to the honour which the city gave to the persons shown here. The connection of Asklepioswith the gods of Eleusis is known; the representation, however, is unique.
