| Reverse description | Melikertes, the sea-deity closely associated with the Isthmian Games at Corinth, depicted recumbent to the left, his youthful nude body stretched along the back of a leaping dolphin which he guides with both outstretched hands. The figure is rendered in low relief against a plain field, with the dolphin's arched body and fluked tail clearly articulated. This type alludes to the myth in which the drowned boy was carried ashore by a dolphin, founding the cult at the Isthmus of Corinth. |
