An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Theseus Ring is a gold signet ring that dates back to the 15th-century BC, in the Mycenaean period, though the subject is typical of Minoan art. The ring is gold and measures 2.7 x 1.8 cm. On the ring is a depiction of a bull-leaping scene, which includes a lion to the left and what may be a tree on the right. It comes from the area of Anafiotika in the Plaka, the ancient city center of Athens, where it was found in a pile of earth during building operations. It now belongs to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. There is no assertion that the ring actually belonged to Theseus, whose myth includes a gold ring.

  • The Theseus Ring is a gold signet ring that dates back to the 15th-century BC, in the Mycenaean period, though the subject is typical of Minoan art. The ring is gold and measures 2.7 x 1.8 cm. On the ring is a depiction of a bull-leaping scene, which includes a lion to the left and what may be a tree on the right. It comes from the area of Anafiotika in the Plaka, the ancient city center of Athens, where it was found in a pile of earth during building operations. It now belongs to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. There is no assertion that the ring actually belonged to Theseus, whose myth includes a gold ring. The antiquity of the Theseus Ring was debated after its discovery in the Plaka district of Athens in the 1950s. For a while it was dismissed as a fake, but as of 2006, the ring has been identified as an authentic 15th century BC artifact. The Greek press had reported the discovery of a gold signet ring, and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens wanted to purchase it for 75,000 euros from the woman who owned it. After an examination by a panel of experts at the Cultural Ministry, the piece was declared to be genuine. (en)
  • Theseusringen är en minoisk signetring från mykenska perioden (cirka 1400-talet f.Kr.). Ämnet är typiskt för minoisk konst. Ringen är i guld och mäter 2,7 x 1,8 centimeter. På ringen finns en skildring av en tjurhoppning med ett lejon till vänster och vad som kan vara ett träd till höger. Den kommer från området Anafiotika i Plaka, där den påträffades i en jordhög. Ringen tillhör Atens arkeologiska museum. Det finns inte några belägg för att ringen verkligen tillhörde Theseus. (sv)
