Decree for the Alliance between Athens and Kerkyra

            The decree concerns an alliance treaty between Athens and the island of Kerkyra (Corfu) and has a duration for all of eternity. The alliance was established in 375/4 BC, during the second prytaneia of the archon Hippodamas, and includes oaths and commitments offered by Kerkyra to Athens. It is one of the many individual treaties that Athens made with other city-states in order to impede Sparta’s policy of expansion in the Aegean islands after the end of the Peloponnesian War.
The relief depicts three figures. To the viewer’s right stands Athena, patroness saint of the city of Athens. She wears a helmet and would have held a, once painted, spear in her left hand and a shield in her right one. Next to her stands a woman, possibly the personification of Kerkyra or Hera whose worship was extremely widespread on the island. The two women turn toward a seated man who is identified as either Zeus, or the personification of the Deme of Athens that is the whole of the citizens and the city-state constitutions.
The stele was found in 1876 during excavations in the area of the Sanctuary of Asklepios, on the southern slope of the Acropolis. Preserved is part of the inscribed resolution and the relief decoration that crowned it.
