Bronze statue of a youth from the Antikythera shipwreck. The figure has been identified with Perseus, who would have been holding the head of Medusa. More likely however, it depicts Paris, who would have been holding the "apple of Strife" ready to award it to the most beautiful goddess, Aphrodite. Attributed to the Sikyonian sculptor Euphranor. About 340-330 BC
