The God of Cape Artemision

Today on Museum Bites we’re paying tribute to the God of Cape Artemision (c460 BCE), an ancient Greek statue with a colorful past. Built during the Greco-Persian Wars, this magnificent work of art escaped the melting pot, survived a Roman shipwreck, and spent more than a thousand years beneath the Aegean Sea. Join me for a closer look at this gorgeous statue.
