Funerary monument to Eteoklea

01:59

The second largest of the four Attic gravestones depicts a seated man with a beard holding the hand of a standing woman, as well as a non-bearded man with his right hand laid on the shoulder of the seated figure. All three are identified by name on the architrave, yet it is unclear for whom the gravestone was actually erected: for the bearded man named Arkesilas, or rather for the standing woman, presumably his daughter?
