The marble statue of an athlete binding his hair (diadoumenos), found on Delos, Cyclades. It is a marble copy from about 100 BC of an original bronze by Polykleitos from 450-425 BC. The naked male youth is binding a ribbon in his hair — a suggestion that he was the victor of some athletic competition. (The tree trunk was added by the copyist for support, as the marble could not remain upright and intact without it.) At 1.95m (6’4″), it is about the size of the Antikythera Youth and only marginally smaller than the monumental Zeus of Artemision.
