    Polydeukes/Polydeukion was the favorite pupil and beloved of stoic philosopher and millionaire philanthropist Herodes Atticus. He died while still a youth, and his mentor organized a cult in his honor, analogous to that devised by Hadrian for Antinous. Here he is shown with heroic attributes: the serpent, and his nudity.

  • Ελληνικά: 1450. Αναθηματικοί;) ανάγλυφο. Μάρμαρο πεντελικό. Βρέθηκε κοντά στη Μονή Λουκούς, Αρκαδία. Το ανάγλυφο έχει σχήμα ναϊσκου. Ο νέος στο μέσον ταυτίζεται με τον Πολυδευκίωνα, αγαπημένο μαθητή του Ηρώδη Αττικού, που μετά το θανατά του σε εφηβική ηλικία ηρωοποιήθηκε από το δάσκαλο του. Την ιδιότητα του ήρωα δηλώνουν η γυμνότητα του νέου, το άλογο και το φίδι το οποίο ταίζει. Ένας μικρός δούλος του δίνει την περικεφαλαία. Πίσω από το δούλο παριστάνεται ταφικό σήμα, μία λουτροφόρος πάνω σε βάθρο. Μετά τα μέσα του 2ου αι. μ.Χ.
