Athens. Greece. View at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens of the magnificent bronze statue of known as the Antikythera Youth. Standing nearly 2 metres tall, with a handsome physique and unusually well-preserved inlaid eyes, the masterpiece 4th century BC sculpture was salvaged from the Antikythera Wreck in 1900. Variously identified as Apollo, Hermes, Heracles, Perseus, Paris or simply an unknown athlete, the Youth is likely a work of Kleon, a well-known Sicyonian sculptor and Polykleitan successor.
