Sardonyx Cameo of the Trial of Orestes, Asia Minor, 1st Century BC

Athena is shown here casting her ballot in favor of Orestes, who was on trial for the murder of his own mother, Clytemnestra. He killed her in an act of revenge because she murdered his father, King Agamemnon after he had sacrificed their own daughter, Iphigenia, so that his fleet could set sail for Troy.

Because the other jurors’ votes were tied, Athena’s ballot determined Orestes fate and he went free. The story of Orestes’ trial is told in The Eumenides, the final play of The Orestia by Aeschylus.

Male Torso, 300-200 B.C. Bronze, H 152 cm; W 52 cm; D 68 cm The Hellenic Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs. The Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, Athens

In 2004 this torso was accidentally netted by fishermen at a depth of five hundred meters near the Greek island of Kythnos in the Aegean Sea. The absence of attributes leaves the figure’s identity open: he could be an athlete, a hero, or even a god. The position of his left hand suggests that he held a flat object, perhaps a discus or a scabbard. The artist realistically rendered the body’s anatomical details as well as the texture and creases of the skin.
