Limestone statue of Artemis (Bendis)

This statue was discovered at the site of the temple of Apollo Hylates at Kourion, Cyprus, and dates back to the 3rd century BCE. The body and the head are from two different statues. The Goddess depicted in the artifact is probably Artemis Bendis, Bendis (Βένδις) being the name of an ancient Thracian Deity possibly associated with lunar aspect and hunting. By the Hellenistic period, Bendis became wildly spread across the Greek world, having been likely first introduced to Greece in the 5th century BCE by immigrant Thracians.

The statue depicts the Deity as dressed in an oriental dress, a Phrygian cap, trousers, and a long-sleeved tunic.
