Özet
Terracotta figurines representing different goddesses were found in the sanctuary of Apollo Clarios, mainly in the sector of Artemis: they indicate various cults related to the main worship of Apollo. The most popular of the female divinities is Aphrodite, represented in different iconographic types. An additional major group consists of kourotrophoi, who recalls the role of Artemis as protector of childhood. A Kybele is probably linked with the cave where the goddess was worshipped near the sanctuary of Apollo.
