Description
Marble from Dokimeion in Asia Minor. Found on Megisti (modern Kastellorizo), Dodecanese. One of the long sides has a depiction of the dead married couple, while in the centre Aphrodite writes their names on a shield supported by an Erotideus. At the right is Bellerophon and his winged horse, Pegasos. At the left end of the other long side is a depiction of the seizure of the Palladion by Diomedes and Odysseus, and at the right, Aphrodite and a hero flank a trophy. A Centaur wrestles with a bearded man on one narrow side and a Satyr with the goat-footed god Pan support the drunken Herakles on the other. From an Asian Minor workshop.
