The largest cemetery in Athens houses tombs decorated with stelae and statues from the 6C B.C. They attained their greatest splendour in the century of Pericles. Note the tombs of the 4C B.C. erected by rich Athenian families, including a family tomb with a bas-relief (moulding) of a fighting horseman (Dexileos); three monuments, of a family of Herakle, in Pont-Euxin; the famous stelae of Hegeso and Antidosis, and the lecythus of Aristomachos.
