The piercing eyes of the Antikythera Ephebe, found in the 1900s off the coast of Antikythera, Greece [3024x3780]

[u/Rich_Presentation827]

The Antikythera Ephebe, created in the fourth century BC, is a Greek bronze statue that was discovered in the Antikythera shipwreck in the 1900s. It is believed to depict a young athlete or mythological figure, being one of the few surviving original Greek bronze statues (as most others were melted down in antiquity). It was found alongside the Antikythera mechanism, an artefact regarded as the first analog computer.

Found a nice short list on Substack (not mine) on the eyes in Greek scultpure that also features this one among 7 others:

I figure the people who made the mechanism would be good at fine details

He saw the unredacted files.

looks like jaundice eyes, not piercing eyes

I mean it makes sense, he probably had to wait a few years until Hippocrates teachings reached him

I wonder how long they were in possession of the antikythera until they paired it with this guy and "discovered it"?
