Description

231. Statue of the goddess Themis. Pentelic marble. Found at Rhamnous, Attica, in the small temple of Nemesis. The goddess wears a high-girt chiton, richly draped himation and sandals. The head is inlaid and the right arm was made of a separate piece of marble.

Themis, daughter of Ouranos and Gaia, was goddess of justice and at Rhamnous she was worshipped in the same temple as Nemesis. According

Η θεά φορεί ψηλά ζωσμένο χιτώνα, πλούσια πτυχωμένο ιμάτιο και σανδάλια.

Το κεφάλι είναι ένθετο και το δεξί χέρι ήταν πρόσθετο από ξεχωριστό κομμάτι μαρμάρου. Η Θέμις, κόρη του Ουρανού και της Γης, ήταν θεά της δικαιοσύνης και στον Ραμνούντα λατρευόταν στον ίδιο ναό με τη Νέμεση. Στην πρόσθιο όψη του βάθρου υπάρχει επιγραφή σύμφωνα με την οποία το άγαλμα, το οποίο φιλοτέχνησε ο Χαιρέστρατος από τον Ραμνούντα, ήταν αφιέρωμα του Μεγακλέους στη θέμιδα. Γύρω στο 300 π.Χ.
