Athena Lemnia

See Perseus web site, under Andrew Stewart, One Hundred Greek Sculptors: Their Careers and Extant Works: The Sculptors: The Early and High Classic Periods II: Pheidias Bronze statue on Athenian Acropolis, ca. 450-440 B.C. Stewart, T57: Pausanias 1.28.2 [On the Akropolis] there are also two other dedications, a statue of Perikles, son of Xanthippos, and the most worth seeing of the works of Pheidias, the statue of Athena called the Lemnian after those who dedicated it. Stewart, T58: Lucian, Imagines 6 (2nd century A.D. work) (Lykios, describing the features of Panthea, the ideal woman): But the facial contour, its softness, and her well-proportioned nose will be supplied by the Lemnian Athena of Pheidias. Stewart, T59: Himerios, Oratio 68.4 (4th century A.D. work) Pheidias did not always make images of Zeus, nor did he always cast Athena armed into bronze, but turned his art to the other gods and adorned the Maiden's cheeks with a rosy blush, so that in place of her helmet this should cover the goddess's beauty.
