Kouros of Apollonas, Ancient marble sculpture in Apollonas village, Greece.
The Kouros of Apollonas measures 10.7 meters in length and lies within an ancient quarry, displaying basic rectangular arms and partially completed feet.
Created between the seventh and sixth centuries BC, this marble statue shows evidence of ancient lifting techniques through keyholes designed for wooden beam transportation.
The figure exhibits characteristics that suggest it represents Dionysus rather than Apollo, featuring distinct elements such as facial hair and an extended right arm position.
The sculpture remains accessible throughout the day without entrance fees, located 36 kilometers from Chora with regular bus services connecting both locations.
This unfinished statue weighs approximately 80 tonnes and reveals the ancient Greek sculpting process through visible bronze chisel marks and initial tool work patterns.
