The style of the reliefs is somewhat peculiar. Many of the types of combat are familiar in Attic sculpture. Compare the group of Kaineus with the same subject on the frieze of the Theseion, and the Centaur groups with the metopes of the Parthenon. At the same time the style of the work, with its high relief, somewhat florid and coarsely executed, is un-Attic, and it seems probable that the actual production of the reliefs was in the hands of local workmen. There is less certainty as to the designer. Among the artists suggested are Alcamenes (Stackelberg, p. 84), Cresilas (Sauer, _Berliner Philol. Wochenschr._, 1889, p. 583); an artist influenced by the paintings of Polygnotos (Murray, ii., p. 176); an Attic artist (Jahn, _Pop. Aufsätze_, p. 157), or an Arcadian artist under Attic influences (Overbeck, _Gr. Plast._, 3rd ed., i., p. 457.) _Literature relating to the Frieze._ Wagner, _Bassorelievi Antichi della Grecia_. See also works quoted above, and on p. 272. For the proposed arrangements of the slabs of the frieze, see Cockerell, p. 56; Ivanoff, _Annali dell' Inst._, 1865, p. 29; Lange, _Ber. der. K. sächs Ges. d. Wissenschaften_, 1880, p. 56, pl. 3; Wolters, Nos. 883-905; _Stereoscopic_, Nos. 119, 120, 122. PHIGALEIAN FRIEZE, WEST SIDE. [Sidenote: =520.=] A Centaur carries away a Lapith woman, who stretches out her arm in appeal for help. The woman's headdress is somewhat peculiar, consisting of a cap (_sphendonè_) and a narrow taenia, from under which the hair falls in small curls on the forehead. On the right of the slab an unarmed Lapith struggles with a Centaur, whose equine body is wholly unexpressed except for one leg which hardly seems to belong to him. Length, 2 feet 5-3/4 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 7; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 7; Stackelberg, pl. 25. [Sidenote: =521.=] On the left of this slab, a Centaur, whose head and lower parts are lost, flings a stone with each hand. The figure is shown to be a Centaur by the lion's skin over the left arm. On the right, a Centaur, who also wears a lion's skin knotted about his neck, treads down an armed Lapith, and grasps his right hand to prevent him striking with his sword. Between the two Centaurs is a Lapith woman, who hastens to her right and holds her mantle about her. The Centaur here and on certain other slabs has a horse's mane, which does not occur on the Centaurs of the Parthenon or of the Theseion. Length, 4 feet 2-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 6; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 6; Stackelberg, pl. 28. [Sidenote: =522.=] On the left a Centaur draws towards himself a Lapith woman who tries to escape. She has a child on her left arm. The face of this figure has a strong resemblance to that of the supposed Amazon of Polycleitos, and the drapery of the breast is treated in the same way as that of some of the statues of Amazons.
