In Ancient Greek sculpture, an Ephebe is a sculptural type depicting a nude ephebos. (Archaic examples of the type are also often known as the kouros type, or kouroi in the plural.) This typological name often occurs in the form "The X Ephebe", where X is the collection to which the object belongs or belonged, or the site on which it was found (eg the Agrigento Ephebe).
