Grave stele from River Ilissos, Athens, 340-330 BC. An old father mourns quietly for his son, represented as a naked hunter-hero with club and hound. The seated slave boy has cried himself to sleep. A similar composition is found in several other grave reliefs. The stele once had a shrine-like architectural frame.
