Ex voto of Daochos, Marble sculpture group at Delphi Archaeological Site, Greece

The Ex voto of Daochos consists of a long marble base that supported nine statues, eight representing family members and one depicting Apollo.

Between 336 and 332 BCE, Daochos II, a politician from Pharsalus and supporter of Macedonia, served as hieromnemon at the Delphic sanctuary.

The inscriptions on the monument detail personal achievements of family members, including victories in Panhellenic Games and political accomplishments in Thessaly.

The monument stands behind the column with the Dancers of Delphi in the Athenian Treasury, within the archaeological site complex.

Each statue position carried specific inscriptions, with the ninth statue reserved for Daochos II's young son, who had no accomplishments recorded yet.
