Abstract

This article discusses the chryselephantine statue known as the Palaikastro Kouros, which was recovered in the excavations at Palaikastro in eastern Crete in the 1980s. The statue and the sanctuary building in which it had stood had been deliberately destroyed c. 1450 bc. It is probable that the motivation for the destruction was iconoclastic. This situates the fate of the Palaikastro Kouros within a broader context of iconoclasm in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean area.

大地中海地区的古罗斯宫与圣像破坏主义

这篇文章讨论了被称为Palaikastro Kouros的chryselephantine雕像，它是在20世纪80年代在克里特岛东部Palaikastro的挖掘中发现的。这座雕像和它所在的圣所建筑在公元前1450年被蓄意摧毁。破坏的动机很可能是反传统的。这将Palaikastro Kouros的命运置于古代近东和地中海地区偶像破坏的更广泛背景下。
