Cybele, Dionysos, Pan, Hekate

Votive relief found at Livadia, Boeotia, 350-325 B.C. National Archaeological Museum of Athens Cybele is depicted at the left seated on a throne with a deity (maybe Persephone) in front of her, holding a key. The figure next to her with its head covered is the initiate. The initiate is followed by Dionysos holding a kantharos and a thyrsos, Pan playing the pipes and Hekate holding two torches. In the center of the relief Trophonios flanked by snakes and holding a horn. To his left, behind an altar bearing offerings (cakes) are the three Kouretes holding shields. The Dioskouroi are depicted at the right edge wearing pilos on their head and four worshippers on a much smaller scale.
