The Image of Alexander in Ancient Art
The iconography of Alexander the Great (356–323 BC) in ancient art evolved as his legend grew and he came to symbolise different things to diverse social groups through the centuries. None of his lifetime portraits has survived but we have literary records and Roman copies. In the Hellenistic period (323–30 BC) his image provided a source of legitimacy for his Successors, who placed his portrait on their coins, erected his posthumous statues in t…
The Materiality of Hellenistic Ruler Cults
Studies in the cultic honours for Hellenistic leaders and benefactors mainly focus on the ideological and diplomatic features of the phenomenon. Conversely, the papers collected in this volume aim to shift the focus to its material and practical aspects: media, ritual action and space, agency, administration and funding. Specialists in Hellenistic history, epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, and archaeology provide fresh reassessments of a variet…

Greek sculpture, Archaic, Classical & Hellenistic
Prospective students of Greek sculpture are daunted by the fact that they have to tackle a bibliography in several languages that stretches back to the 19 th century and must often employ methods that are deemed old-fashioned. The development of style is, nevertheless, giving way now to the study of materials and techniques, as well as the historical perspectives underlying the production of sculpture at any given period. An additional difficulty…

Chapter 23. Hellenistic Art
This chapter deals with art in Macedonia between the death of Alexander III in 323 BC and the defeat of Perseus, last king of Macedon, at the battle of Pydna in 168 BC. In the last forty years excavations in Macedonian sites like Vergina, Lefkadia, Dion, and Pella have brought to light many important wall-paintings which have revolutionised the perception of the pictorial arts in classical antiquity. The chapter argues that the painting in Pella …

Art and Royalty in Sparta of the 3rd Century B.C
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that a revival of the arts in Sparta during the 3rd century B.C. was owed mainly to royal patronage, and that it was inspired by Alexander's successors, the Seleukids and the Ptolemies in particular. The tumultuous transition from the traditional Spartan dyarchy to a Hellenistic-style monarchy, and Sparta's attempts to regain its dominance in the Peloponnese (lost since the battle of Leuktra in 371 B.C.), a…

The Hope Herakles Reconsidered
The Hope Herakles, hitherto thought to be a Roman copy of a statue by Skopas, is here shown to be a pastiche. The head is tentatively recognised as a classicising portrait, while the body type, having come down to us in a variety of reproductions carrying a different head, is associated with the Argive School of the late 5th c BC. A dating of the latter's prototype close to the plague of 429 as well as the Attic provenance of some of the copies s…
A Niche for Kallimachos' Lamp
That the Erechtheion contained an ever-burning golden lamp made by Kallimachos is known to us from a number of literary sources, its most detailed description being that of Pausanias. There is, however, no record of its exact position in the temple. A fresh appraisal of the combined evidence of literature and architecture may help us trace that position. At the same time we explore the function of the niche built high into an interior wall of the…

A Decree from the Athenian Asklepieion
Ἐρύθημα… ἀντὶ κράνους
A. Furtwängler's reconstruction of Pheidias' statue of Athena Lemnia-combining a body in Dresden with a head in Bologna and adding a helmet in her left hand-has been disputed by K. J. Hartswick, who argued that there is no Classical prototype for the Bologna head. Hartswick questioned not only the existence of a join between head and body, but also the authenticity of the gems considered by Furtwängler as echoes of his Athena. The present paper d…
The Ephebes of Erechtheis, 333/2 B.C. and their dedication
Names on the Rhamnous base IG II 2 3105 (with new fragments added by Petrakos, A.E. 1979 68–9) are conjoined with those on IG II 2 2401. 2401 is identified as an ephebe list of Erechtheis for 333/2. The attribution of the names to the various demes is discussed. The base itself goes with the fragmentary herm, NM 313, which is thus the earliest securely dated ephebic dedication at Rhamnous. The relationship of this to other monuments is discussed.…

A classical variant of the Corinth/Mocenigo goddess
This paper examines the fragment of a life-size marble statue of a goddess in the storerooms of the Acropolis Museum (inv. no. 13641). Both technical and stylistic considerations show that it is an original work of the mid 5th century B.C., issuing from the artistic milieu of the Parthenon. The figure was dressed in a chiton under a himation pinned on the right shoulder (diplax), following a sub-Archaic fashion current throughout the 5th century …
Two Statues of Hercules in the Forum Boarium in Rome
This paper is concerned with two statues of Hercules associated with his cult in the Forum Boarium in Rome. First, the gilded bronze in the Conservatori Museum, usually thought to have been the cult image, carried from Greece, of a late Hellenistic rotunda, is here dated to the first–second centuries AD and considered an independent dedication standing in the Forum. Second, the Julio‐Claudian marble seated Hercules in the Palazzo Altemps is discu…
A New Record Relief in the Benaki Museum
Who Invented the Claw Chisel
Part I discusses the problem of the introduction of the claw chisel in stone masonry and sculpture. This tool was thought to have been invented in 6th‐century Greece for the needs of marble carving. The detection of its traces on a tomb of 7th‐century Egypt in soft limestone, however, now suggests not only that the Greeks borrowed it from the Egyptians but also that it was not originally a marbleworker's tool. Part II deals with both the tomb and…

Hephaestion’s Pyre and the Royal Hunt of Alexander
After the death of Alexander the Great of Macedon, a series of monuments depicting him hunting a lion along with one or more companions began to appear on the Greek mainland. In Asia during that time, lions were symbols of kingship. This chapter discusses the history, meaning, and purpose of lion hunts in relation to the Successors' power struggles in the last decades of the 4th century. It argues that the lion-hunt iconography was borrowed from …
Meaning and Narrative Techniques in Statue-Bases of the Pheidian Circle
This chapter looks at a number of problems of technique and interpretation posed by the four cult-statue-bases produced by Pheidias and his chief pupils, Alkamenes and Agorakritos. Pheidias led the way with his base for the Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon, completed just before the dedication of the statue in 438. This was followed by his own base for the Zeus at Olympia. The figures on Pheidias' base at Olympia were metalwork, those on the bas…
