Marble funerary naiskos (small temple). The young in the middle has been identified with Polydeukion, the favourite pupil of Herodes Atticus. The youth's nudity, the horse, and the snake that he is feeding characterize him as a hero. A young slave holds out his helmet. Middle of the 2nd century. It was found near the Monastery of Loukou, Arkadia. National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.
