Abstract

Archaic and Classical terracotta relief plaques discovered in votive deposits in Lakonia and representing three standing females raise two questions: firstly, whether their appearance in groups of three means that they are a defined triad or is just an indication of unlimited plurality; and secondly, whether they are divine or mortal. It is concluded that no single interpretation can be ascribed to all cases. Most triads seem to represent mortal worshippers rather than a specific divine or semi-divine triad. However, an exceptional triad flanked by snakes may represent the Erinyes. Such an interpretation would harmonize with the nature of the cult at the sanctuary in which they were dedicated—that of Alexandra (Kassandra) and Agamemnon, both murdered in Lakonia, according to a local tradition. An offering with the representation of the avenging spirits would have been very appropriate for Agamemnon and especially Kassandra, who suffered a wrongful death that was never properly avenged. Πήλινα ανάγλυφα πλακίδια των κλασικών και αρχαϊκών χρόνων, που βρέθηκαν σε αναθηματικούς αποτέθες στη Λακωνία και απεικονίζουν τρεις ιστάμενες θηλυκές μορφές, εγείρουν δύο ερωτήματα: πρώτον, εάν η εμφάνισή τους σε ομάδες των τριών υποδηλώνει μιία καθορισμένη τριάδα ή είναι απλώς μία ένδειςη απεριόριστης πληθωρικότητας. και δεύτερον, εάν αναπαριστούν θεϊκές ή θνητές μορφές. Συμπεραίνεται ότι δεν υπάρχει μία ερμηνεία για όλες τις περιπτώσεις. Οι περισσότερες τριάδες φαίνεται πως αναπαριστούν θνητ…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
