Artemisium or Artemision (Greek: Ἀρτεμίσιον) is a cape in northern Euboea, Greece. The hollow cast bronze statue of Zeus or Poseidon, known as the Artemision Bronze, was found off this cape in a sunken ship, as was the Jockey of Artemision, a bronze statue of a racehorse and its jockey.
In 1928, an Ancient Greek shipwreck at the site was found containing artefacts including the Artemision Bronze, a statue either of Zeus or Poseidon, and the Jockey of Artemision, a bronze statue of a racehorse and its rider. [1]
In September 1952, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens made a return visit to the shipwreck, directed by George E. Mylonas, S. A. Dontas and Christos Karouzos. The excavation employed five divers and a sailing boat, the Alkyone, which was used to dredge the sea floor between dives. The project succeeded in re-locating the shipwreck, but did not recover any notable finds.[2]
