Summary

Description

Greek Gallery, Altes Museum, Berlin, Germany. Complete indexed photo collection at WorldHistoryPics.com. Griffin probably from Samos. Herodotus wrote:"And the Samians set apart six talents, the tenth part of their gains, and had a bronze vessel made like an Argolic mixing-bowl with round it heads of griffins projecting in a row; and this they dedicated as an offering in the temple of Hera, setting as supports under it three colossal statues of bronze seven cubits in height, resting upon their knees."

Czech: Gryf pravděpodobně ze Samosu. O gryfech ze Samosu napsal Herodotos: "Desetinu ze svého zisku, šest talentů Samští vzali a dali za ni pořídit bronzovou nádobu na způsob měsidla argolského, okolo jejíhož okraje jsou stupňovitě vytepány hlavy gryfů. Nádobu obětovali do chrámu Héřina a podstavili ji třemi sedm loket velikými bronzovými kolosy, klečícími na kolenou." Altes Museum, Berlin.
