| NOTES | This majestic figure was discovered in 1926 off the coast of the Greek island Euboea, at a place called Cape Artemisium, which provided the name used today. It is one of the finest discoveries of its kind, artifacts recovered from the remains of ancient sunken ships. In later times, when Greece had been conquered by other powers such as the Romans, the conquerors would often transport some of the best artworks elsewhere, but some of those ships sank, and their cargo remained at the bottom of the Mediterranean until the 20th century. |
