Kouroi in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens
This over-life-size statue of a kouros in Naxian marble was found in Sounion. At just over 3 m tall, it is one of the largest surviving kouroi. The statue was a votive offering to Poseidon and stood before his temple. It was found together with a torso from a similarly colossal statue. About 600 B.C
