Demeter Blesses Triptolemos
Artist
Andonis Katanos
Medium
Photograph - Photography
Description
At left: Demeter clad in a peplos and holding a scepter in her left hand, offers ears of wheat to Triptolemos, son of the Eleusinian King Keleos, to bestow on mankind. At right: Persephone, clad in chiton and mantle and holding a torch, blesses Triptolemos with her right hand. The magnificence of the image and particularly, the large scale of the relief suggest that it was not a simple votive dedication but rather associated with cult. The relief represents the Eleusinian deities in a scene of mysteriac ritual. The Relief was apparently famous in antiquity and was copied in the Roman period. One of its copies is photographed (slide) in Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. ca. 440-430 BC.
