_Cedrinus_ relates, that in this _Bagnio_ there was a pleasant Variety of Prospects of surprizing Art, both in Marble and Stone-work, in Statues of Brass, and Figures of Persons of Antiquity, who seem’d to want nothing but a Soul to animate and enliven them. Among these celebrated Pieces of the most exquisite Workmanship, was the Statue of old _Homer_, in a thoughtful Posture, just as he was, his Hands folded in his Breast, his Beard carelessly hanging down, his Hair very thin before, his Face wrinkled with Age, and the Cares of the World; his Nose well proportion’d, his Eyes fix’d in their Sockets, as is usual with blind Persons, which he was generally look’d upon to be. Over his close Coat hung a loose Garment, and under his Feet, upon the Pedestal of the Pillar, was a Bridle in Brass. This Place was also beautify’d with the brazen Statues of all those renown’d Personages who had been famous for Wisdom, Poetry, Oratory or Courage, throughout the World, but were all destroy’d by Fire. Among these were the Statues of _Deiphobus_, _Æschines_, _Demosthenes_, _Aristotle_, _Euripides_, _Hesiod_, _Theocritus_, _Simonides_, _Anaximenes_, _Calchas_, _Pyrrhus_, _Amymone_; of _Sappho_, _Apollo_, _Venus_, _Chrysa_, _Julius Cæsar_, _Plato_, _Hermaphroditus_, _Herinna_, _Terpander_, _Pericles_, _Pythagoras_, _Stesichorus_, _Democritus_; of _Hercules_, _Aurora_, _Æneas_, _Creusa_, _Helenus_, _Andromachus_, _Menelaus_, _Helena_, _Ulysses_, _Hecuba_, _Cassandra_, _Polyxena_, _Ajax_, _Paris_, and his _Oenone_; of _Milo_, _Dares_ and _Entellus_, _Charidemus_, _Melampus_, _Panthous_, _Demogeron_, _Isocrates_, _Amphiaraus_, _Sarpedon_, _Achilles_, _Mercury_, _Apuleius_, _Diana_, _Pherecydes_, _Heraclitus_, _Cratinus_, _Menander_, _Amphitryon_, _Thucydides_, _Herodotus_, _Pindar_, _Xenophon_, _Alcmæon_, _Pompey_ and _Virgil_. There were also many other Statues which have been describ’d in Verse by _Christodorus_ a Poet of _Thebes_, or, as others report, a Native of _Coptos_ in _Ægypt_, which, were it not a Work of Prolixity, I would explain to the Reader. There stood near the _Bagnio_ call’d _Zeuxippum_, a small Bath, taken Notice of by _Leontius_ in the following Lines: _Let not thy stately Walls, O proud_ Zeuxippum, _Resent the Meanness of this little Bath. In Heaven’s high Tower, near the Constellation Of_ Ursa Major _shines the_ Polar _Star_.
