Three-Bodied Snake
 |
Sculpture from the corner of a large temple (atributed to the Old
Temple).
The deamon has three bodies and a twisted snake-like tail.
The sculpture
was painted in red, green, and blue.
They hold from left to right a shape that looks like liqid (water?), corn(?),
and a bird.
The other side of the pediment depicted Herakles
fighting a sea monster.
Limestone, c. 550-540 BCE (Acropolis Museum)
