• Not a review, but the hook as currently written may not meet WP:DYKINT as being interesting to a broad, non-specialist audience. @Deiademian: Can you please propose additional hooks that would be more familiar to general readers either unfamiliar with or only have a basic understanding of Greek mythology?

That's unfortunate, then. What about "...that the Lacrateides Relief is a fragmented ancient Greek votive relief that was found in sixty pieces?"? Deiadameian (talk) 17:14, 20 April 2025 (UTC).

I'll leave it to you, but I'd personally word it as something like: ... the Lacrateides Relief (pictured) was found in sixty pieces? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Two points (not directed at the latter alternative in particular, but the overall wording in both): if I'm understanding the article correctly, the number of extant pieces seems not to be exactly sixty (the surviving fragments, which number about sixty), and I think it's worth considering that "in sixty pieces" could sound as though those sixty pieces constitute the complete relief. The latter would likely be remedied by the presence of the image (if it's used), though arguably one shouldn't need the image to avoid ambiguity. – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
