It's a relief found along the Via Appia in Bovillae, Italy in the 1700s. The piece is signed by the sculptor, Archelaos of Priene, so it usually goes by the uncreative name of the "Archelaos Relief," and dates to the Hellenistic period.

In the uppermost register, the lounging figure is Zeus, with his emblematic eagle by his feet. The figure gazing adoringly up at Zeus is Mnemosyne, the divine personification of memory and the mother of the Muses. The middle two registers depict the nine Muses as well as Apollo and a statue of Homer. Apollo stands in a cave holding a lyre (Greek kithāra), and the statue of Homer is atop a plinth on the far right end of the third register.

The left edge of the bottom register contains depictions of Oikoumene (the inhabited world) and Chronos (time) are crowning a seated Homer. Personifications of the Iliad and Odyssey kneel beside Homer. Facing Homer, Myth, History, Poetry, Tragedy, and Comedy perform a sacrifice in his honor. Huddled together at the far right end are Human Nature (Physis), Excellence (Arete), Mindfulness (Mneme), Trustworthiness (Pistis), and Wisdom (Sophia).

The scene is known as the apotheosis (deification) of Homer. It was not uncommon in the ancient world for particularly acclaimed individuals to be promoted to divine status upon their deaths. In Das Relief des Archelaos von Priene, Watzinger suggested that the figures of Chronos and Oikoumene have the portrait faces of Ptolemy IV Philopator and Arsinoe III of Egypt, respectively. If this identification is correct, and most scholars agree that it is, the sanctuary depicted in the relief is probably the Homereion, a temple to Homer dedicated by Ptolemy IV Philopater (221-204 BCE). The Roman author Aelian wrote a rather interesting description of the Homereion in Varia Historia 13.22.

Ptolemaeus Philopator, having built a temple to Homer, erected a fair image of him, and placed about the image those cities which contended for Homer. Galaton the Painter drew Homer vomiting and the rest of the Poets gathering it up.
