A series of reliefs were found in the ruins of what is known as the Passage of the Theoroi. The Passage was located in the ancient agora (a public marketplace) in the city of Thasos (modern-day Limenas) on the Greek island of the same name. In the northeast corner of the agora was an altar featuring reliefs of figures walking toward it. On the east wall with the non-extant altar were Hermes followed by a female (who may be Hekate) on the right and the Graces to the left. On the west wall, facing a carved niche, were Apollo being crowned by a female (possibly Artemis) on the left and nymphs, who are nature deities, on the right. This fragment features the three nymphs who bring offerings.
