Statue “Praying Ephebe” in artificial marble by Leochares (reduction)
The Attic sculptor Leochares (375–310 BC), who helped complete one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World at the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, realized the ideal of the godlike, heroic Olympian with his "Praying Ephebe." In the sacred precinct of Diadumenos at Olympia, the radiance of the eternal flame fell upon the youth crowning himself with the victor's armband. Raising his arms high above his head, he invokes the blessing of the immortals.
