Paris in Athens

Paris in Athens

On display in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens in Greece.

Description in the museum:

Bronze statue of a youth. From the Antikythera shipwreck. The figure has been identified with Perseus, who would have been holding the head of Medusa. More probably, however, it depicts
Paris, who would have been holding the “apple of Strife”, ready to award it to the most beautiful goddess, Aphrodite. Attributed to the Sikyonian sculptor Euphranor.
About 340-330 BC.
