Hermes and the Infant Dionysus, also known as the Hermes of Praxiteles or the Hermes of Olympia is an ancient Greek sculpture of Hermes and the infant Dionysus discovered in 1877 in the ruins of the Temple of Hera, Olympia, in Greece. The statue group represents the period following Dionysos' birth from Zeus' thigh, when the king of the gods handed the infant to Hermes in order to protect Dionysos from the wrath of Hera. In its complete form, Hermes holds his infant brother in his left arm and looks down toward him, while Dionysos looks up.
