Demeter of Cnidus
Demeter of Cnidus. A marble figure (
c.330 bc) of the goddess Demeter found at Cnidus in Asia Minor and now in the British Museum. It represents the goddess majestically seated on a throne; originally, perhaps, a figure of her daughter Persephone stood beside her. It is considered one of the finest Greek sculptures to survive from the 4th century and has been attributed to
Leochares. See also
Aphrodite of Cnidus.
