Pergamene Votive Offering - Dead warrior

This is a depiction of a dead warrior. He is a part of a group of four, together they constitute a copy of a votive offering made by a Pergamene dynast, probably Attalus II, placed along the south wall of the Athenian Acropolis in 167-166 BC. They represent four battles, two mytholofical and two historical, this one being an interpretation of the battle of Marathon.本作品为一位阵亡战士的雕塑形象。该战士隶属于四人雕塑群，整套群雕为帕加马王朝统治者（Pergamene dynast）所制还愿献祭（votive offering）的复制品，其创作者大概率为阿塔罗斯二世（Attalus II）。该群雕于公元前167至前166年被安置于雅典卫城（Athenian Acropolis）南墙沿线，整体展现四场战役：两场为神话战役，两场为真实历史战役，本件作品即对马拉松战役（Battle of Marathon）的艺术诠释。
