Material: Casting Stone with Bronze color effect Height: 14 cm - 5,5 inches Width: 6,5 cm - 2,6 inches Length: 8 cm - 3,1 inches Weight: 650 g The Marathon Boy or Ephebe of Marathon is a Greek bronze sculpture found in the Aegean Sea in the bay of Marathon in 1925. The sculpture is conserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens where it is dated to around 340-330 BC. The Museum suggests that the subject is the winner of an athletic competition. With its soft musculature & exaggerated contrapposto, its style is associated with the school of Praxiteles. The upraised arm & the distribution of weight indicate that in his original context, this ephebe was leaning against a vertical support, such as a column.
