Not every one can go to Greece or even to Sicily, but most museums have good collections of casts and {413} models. Greek sculpture is not all found in one place, but scattered through the museums of the world. Those who can go to London, Paris, Rome and Naples, if nowhere else, can get first-hand knowledge of some of the greatest things the Greeks produced. For the sculptures from the Parthenon are in the _British Museum_; most beautiful things are in the _Museo delle Terme_ in _Rome_ (to see the other half of the Throne of Aphrodite one must go to the _Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts_), and Sophocles is in the _Museum of the Lateran_. From Naples one can go to _Paestum_, once the Greek colony of Poseidonia, famous in ancient times for its roses, and see the Temple of Poseidon. It has never been restored, and is one of the best preserved Greek temples to be seen anywhere out of Attica. There it stands, as it has stood for over two thousand years, looking out towards the sea, solitary, now, and desolate, yet in its loneliness most beautiful. All these things are merely suggestions as to one way of beginning. Those who begin will find no difficulty in going on. {415} INDEX A Academy, 194, 211, 381 Achaean League, 407 Acropolis, 91, 190, 194; temples on, 278 ff.; later history of 284 ff.
