The Statue of Nemesis was a marble statue erected on the shores of Oropos Heights in Boeotia, Greece.
Made by the Athenian sculptor Phidias from a block of marble Persians had brought to the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, the statue gazed over the Euripos Strait as a personification of divine retribution and punished excess instead of the trophy pedestal the Persians had intended. During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the statue.[1]
Trivia
- Though the statue is named Nemesis, the model used is the one generally used for the goddess Demeter in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, which in turn is based on Bertel Thorvaldsen's sculpture of the goddess Hebe.
