Summary
Description Small bronze statuette of the Tyche of Antioch, Roman copy of a 4th century BC bronze by Eutychides of Sicyon in Corinthia, from ancient Antaradus (modern-day Tartus in Syria), Louvre Museum, Paris (34749782344).jpg |
The city of Antioch on the Orontes is identified with Tyche, goddess of fortune and protector of the town. She is represented seated on a rock, wearing a crown with crenelated towers. At her feet the bust of a young swimmer emerges from the waves: he is a personification of the river Orontes, beside which the town was founded. <a href=" http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/tyche-antioch " rel="nofollow">www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/tyche-antioch</a> |
