EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite marble stele, dating back to 329-328 B.C., depicts an offering to Artemis Bendis, the Thracian goddess of the hunt and protector of childbirth, in the Harbor of Piraeus, Greece. The relief sculpture, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, portrays a bearded man, possibly an oriental deity, presenting an offering to Artemis, who is shown in the act of receiving it. The goddess, dressed in a chiton and himation, is adorned with a golden crown and a crescent moon on her head, symbolizing her connection to the lunar cycle and her role as the goddess of the hunt. The mythological significance of this artwork lies in the story of Artemis Bendis, who was identified with the Greek goddess Artemis after the Greeks conquered Thrace. The goddess was said to have appeared to the Thracian king, Admetus, in the form of a doe and asked for his protection. In return, she granted him and his people prosperity and protection. This offering scene may represent the gratitude and reverence of the people towards Artemis Bendis, who was honored in a sanctuary near the harbor. The intricate details of the carvings and the lifelike expressions of the figures reveal the advanced artistic skills of the ancient Greek civilization during the 4th century B.C. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its preservation and the insights it provides into the religious practices and mythology of ancient Greece and Thrace.
