"Victory of Samothrace", c. 190 B.C. Louvre Museum, Paris, France

Note: The statue is dedicated to the highly venerated "Cabiri" deities of probable Phrygian origin and were protectors of fertility and sailors. The deities cited most often are: Axierus, Axiocersa, Axiocersus, and Cadmilus. The Greeks connected them with Demeter, Dionysus, and Hermes.

In 1863, the French vice-consul Charles Champoiseau deployed in Turkey and was "exhuming" antiquities in the Island of Samothrace and discovered the "victory" sculpture. The "victory" stood on a base made from grey marble originating in Rhodos, and the figure was carved from white marble from Paros. The right wing and bust are reconstructed. The sculptor remains unknown.
