Terpsichore statuette from Dodona

The Terpsichore from Dodona (Greek: Τερψιχόρη της Δωδώνης) is an ancient Greek marble statue under lifesize depicting Terpsichore, the Greek goddess of dance, created around the second century BC. The Hellenistic work of art was discovered in Epirus in northwestern Greece and illegally smuggled out of the country in the late nineties. It then became a prized piece of the Ancient Greek and Roman collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, until it was finally repatriated to Greece in early 2024, after more than sixteen years of negotiations and legal disputes.

At first the sculpture was exhibited in the capital Athens that same year and then in Patras the next for a limited time before it was eventually returned to its native Epirus to be displayed there.
