Archeological Museum of Pireás
boasts an excellent collection, and for Classical
enthusiasts merits a special trip. The displays begin upstairs, where one of the star exhibits
is a bronze
kouros
(idealized male statue) of Apollo. Dating from 530-520 BC, this is the
earliest known life-size bronze, here displayed with two similar but slightly later figures of
Artemis and Athena. They were all found in 1959, in a store-room, where they had
supposedly been hidden in 86 BC, when the Roman general Sulla besieged Pireás.
