Français : Philosophe d'Anticythère au Musée national archéologique d'Athènes
· Italiano: Filosofo di Anticitera, al Museo archeologico nazionale di Atene
· - English: The bronze head of a philosopher recovered from the Antikythera shipwreck in 1901, part of a life-sized statue of the man. The object is on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece (Br. 13400). From other fragments of the statue found with this head it appears that the figure was standing holding a staff in his right hand and extending his left in an expression typical of orators. The figure wore a long himation (cloak) and sandals. The clothing and posture suggest that he was a Cynic philosopher, and it has been suggested that the man depicted may have been Bion the Borysthenite. The shaggy hear and full beard and moustache are typical of all kinds of philosophers. The sculpture is dated around 240 BC.
- Français : La tête en bronze d'un philosophe retrouvée dans les vestiges d'un naufrage près de l'île grecque d'Anticythère en 1901 faisait partie d'une statue d'homme grandeur nature. L'objet est exposé au Musée national archéologique d'Athènes en Grèce (n°13400). D'après d'autres fragments de la statue retrouvés avec cette tête, il apparaît que le personnage se tenait debout, qu'il avait un bâton dans sa main droite et qu'il tendait la main gauche dans un geste typique des orateurs. La statue portait un long himation (manteau) et des sandales. Les vêtements et la posture suggèrent qu'il s'agit d'un philosophe cynique, et on a suggéré que l'homme représenté ici pourrait être Bion le Borysthénite. La tête hirsute, l'ample barbe et la moustache sont typiques des philosophes de toutes sortes. La sculpture remonte à environ 240 av. J.-C.
