The Strangford Apollo

Title

The Strangford Apollo

Subject

kouros

Description

It was once thought that all kouroi represented Apollo. While all are Apollian, or representative of many excellence, beauty, and goodness, the identity of each kouros is dependent on context and attributes held. This particular statue is a later version of the kouros, though it still has many elements of earlier kouroi. For example, its abdomen muscles are still delineated with straight, surface-level lines.
