Marble column drum from the later Temple of Artemis at Ephesos
The best preserved column drum of the temple portrays Hermes Psychopompos leading a female, argued to be Iphigenia, Alkestis, Eurydice, or Persephone. According to Pliny the Elder, one of the thirty-six column drums was carved by the sculptor Skopas, though there is no way to ascertain whether or not this is that one.
