SUMMARY
The statue of Artemis of Ephesus was the most brilliant devotional statue in the eastern Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and Roman period. About 100 full-relief or half-relief replicas as well as numerous representations on coins and plentiful references in ancient sources have survived. However, little is known about the shape of the original archaic statue created by the famous sculptor Endius, according to tradition, in the mid-6th century. |
