		</div><p>A bust of the ancient god Hermes, in good condition, has been discovered in central Athens during sewage work.</p>
<p>The Greek Culture Ministry said that the head, one of many that served as street markers in ancient Athens, appears to be from around 300 BC — that is, either from the late fourth century BC or the early third century.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>It depicts Hermes at “a mature age”, the ministry said, in contrast to his usual depictions as youthful.</p>
<p>The head is in the style of Greek sculptor Alcamenes, who flourished in the second half of fifth century BC, the ministry said.</p>
<p>After serving as a street marker, the head, at some point, had been built into the wall of a drainage duct, the ministry said.</p>
