The marble statue of Poseidon, from Melos, Cyclades, 125-100 BC, is larger than life-size at a height of 2,35 m (7 ft 9 in). This is taller than the bronze Artemision Zeus. Poseidon is almost nude, wearing a himation covering the lower part of the body. He is supported by a dolphin. In his raised right hand, he would have held the trident.
