PART III. _THE SUCCESSORS OF PHEIDIAS._ SCULPTURES OF THE TEMPLE CALLED THE THESEION. The building which is commonly known as the Temple of Theseus, or Theseion, stands about a quarter of a mile to the north-west of the Acropolis of Athens. [Illustration: Fig. 15.--Plan of the Theseion. (From Baumeister.)] The temple is of the kind called _peripteral hexastyle_. Round the _cella_, or central chamber, is a single row of columns, thirty-four in number, of which there are six at each end. The order is Doric, with a frieze peculiarly arranged. On the eastern front are ten sculptured metopes, and there are four on each of the adjacent sides, making a total of eighteen sculptured metopes. The remaining metopes of the temple, fifty in number, are plain slabs, which may possibly have had painted on them figures or ornaments. Of the pedimental groups, which appear to have once existed at each end of the temple, nothing now remains except the marks of the attachment of sculptures. Within the colonnade the two ends of the _cella_ are adorned with a frieze of Parian marble, which is still in position. At the west, the length of the frieze is only equal to the width of the _cella_; at the east, the frieze is continued as far as the epistyle, or beams surmounting the colonnade. The west frieze is about 25 feet long; casts of 16 feet 4 inches are in the British Museum. The east frieze is about 37 feet long, and casts of 32 feet are in the Museum. From the Middle Ages till recent times this building has been called the Temple of Theseus, and was supposed to have been dedicated to Theseus by the Athenians in the time of Kimon. That statesman had transferred the bones of Theseus to Athens from the island of Skyros in 469 B.C. The chief arguments for this attribution are:--(1) That labours of Theseus are represented on the metopes, and perhaps on the friezes; (2) that the building is not far from the place where, according to Leake and others, it might be expected from the description of Pausanias (i. 17, 2); (3) that the temple was dedicated as a Christian church to St. George, who corresponds in many ways to Theseus.
