Abstract

The dedication comes from Phthiotic Thebes and consists in a marble relief representing two braids, with an inscription naming the two offerers, Philombrotos and Aphthonetos, brothers who made the dedication for Poseidon. This god had a very considerable role in Thessaly, linked to the adolescence and to the child’s growth. The choice to create and offer a relief representing the gift of the two brothers (real hair) aims to make their votive dedication, otherwise really perishable, long lasting.
