14 PANORAMA OF DELPHI 68
From a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens. _See_ p. 69
15 “APOLLO” FROM ORCHOMENUS 70
From a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens, of the original
in the National Museum. _See_ pp. 69 and 70
16 “APOLLO” OF TENEA 72
Collotype plate, from a photograph by Hanfstaengl of the original at
Munich
17 THE “STRANGFORD APOLLO” 74
From a photograph by Mansell & Co. of the original in the Archaic
Room, British Museum. These three figures may indicate the progress
of early Greek sculpture in expressing the human figure. There is little
ground for calling these figures “Apollo.” They may equally well
be human athletes
18 HEAD OF APOLLO, FROM THE WESTERN PEDIMENT,
OLYMPIA 76
Collotype plate, from a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens,
of the marble at Olympia. _See_ p. 70
19 THE “DISCOBOLUS” OF MYRON (FIG. 1) 80
From a photograph by Anderson of a cast from the original in a private
collection at Rome. The copy in the British Museum (drawn on p. 80)
has the head reversed. _See_ p. 81
THE “DIADUMENUS” OF POLYCLEITUS (FIG. 2)
From a photograph by Mansell & Co. He is binding the victor’s garland
round his forehead. This is, perhaps, the best of several copies made
from the famous original, but it is much restored and probably not a
very faithful copy
20 THE “DORYPHORUS” OF POLYCLEITUS (FIG. 1) 82
From a photograph by Brogi
THE “APOXYOMENUS” (FIG. 2)
From a photograph by Alinari. _See_ p. 81. The recent discovery of the
Agias (Pl. 51) has proved that this is not, as was formerly supposed, a
true example of the work of Lysippus
21 CHARIOTEER: BRONZE 84
From a photograph by Mansell & Co. of a cast from the original at
Delphi. _See_ p. 81
22 VIEW OF MODERN SPARTA, WITH MOUNT TAYGETUS 86
From a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens. _See_ p. 87
23 RUNNING GIRL 90
Collotype plate, from a photograph by Anderson. Represents a competitor
in the girls’ foot-race which took place at Olympia in honour
of Hera. The original must have been in bronze, but this marble copy
reproduces its archaic character. _See_ p. 83
24 ATHENA PROMACHOS, FROM A PANATHENAIC AMPHORA 94
Drawn from Vase B 140 in the Second Vase Room, British Museum
(Case I). _See_ pp. 95 and 112
25 DEMETER, PERSEPHONE, AND TRIPTOLEMUS (ELEUSINIAN
RELIEF) 98
From a photograph by the English Photo Co. of the original marble
relief at Athens. _See_ p. 98
26 ATHENA POLIAS 102
