| Description |
English: Grave relief of Dexileos, son of Lysanias, of Thorikos. On the pedestal is carved the inscription: “Dexileos, son of Lysanias of Thorikos, was born when Teisandros was archon and died in Corinth, when Euboulides was archon, one of the five horsemen”. Dexileus was a horseman in the Athenian cavalry and was killed at the age of twenty near Corinth, in 394 B.C., when the Athenians were defeated by the Spartans. The ashes of the youth and the others who fell in the battle were taken to Athens and placed in the Demosion Sema (public burial ground). The relief was dedicated by his relatives and erected on a site where the family grave enclosure was later constructed. The weapons of the two warriors and reins od the horse, made of bronze and attached in ancient times are now missing. A copy of the relief now stands in the place where it was found. Ca. 390 B.C. Accession number: P 1130 (I 220). Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos. Athens, Greece.
