National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Representation of the statue
According to Pausanias (8, 37.3), the statues were carved in one piece of stone (a monolith) which was found in the temple of Despoina in the Arcadian city Lykosoura afer a dream. The dimensions are 8.40 m (width) x 5.90 m (height), and the height of the statues is 3.78 m. Therefore, the ratio width : height is the square root of 2. The height (5.90 m) is equal to 13 MC.
