At Rome there are, by Praxiteles, a Flora, a Triptolemus, and a Ceres, in the Gardens of Servilius; statues of Good Success[2395] and Good Fortune, in the Capitol; as also some Mænades,[2396] and figures known as Thyiades[2397] and Caryatides;[2398] some Sileni,[2399] to be seen in the memorial buildings of Asinius Pollio, and statues of Apollo and Neptune. Cephisodotus,[2400] the son of Praxiteles, inherited his father’s talent. There is, by him, at Pergamus, a splendid Group[2401] of Wrestlers, a work that has been highly praised, and in which the fingers have all the appearance of being impressed upon real flesh rather than upon marble. At Rome there are by him, a Latona, in the Temple of the Palatium; a Venus, in the buildings that are memorials of Asinius Pollio; and an Æsculapius, and a Diana, in the Temple of Juno situate within the Porticos of Octavia. Scopas[2402] rivals these artists in fame: there are by him, a Venus[2403] and a Pothos,[2404] statues which are venerated at Samothrace with the most august ceremonials. He was also the sculptor of the Palatine Apollo; a Vesta seated, in the Gardens of Servilius, and represented with two Bends[2405] around her, a work that has been highly praised; two similar Bends, to be seen upon the buildings of Asinius Pollio; and some figures of Canephori[2406] in the same place. But the most highly esteemed of all his works, are those in the Temple erected by Cneius Domitius,[2407] in the Flaminian Circus; a figure of Neptune himself, a Thetis and Achilles, Nereids seated upon dolphins, cetaceous fishes, and[2408] sea-horses,[2409] Tritons, the train of Phorcus,[2410] whales,[2411] and numerous other sea-monsters, all by the same hand; an admirable piece of workmanship, even if it had taken a whole life to complete it. In addition to the works by him already mentioned, and others of the existence of which we are ignorant, there is still to be seen a colossal Mars of his, seated, in the Temple erected by Brutus Callæcus,[2412] also in the Flaminian Circus; as also, a naked Venus, of anterior date to that by Praxiteles, and a production that would be quite sufficient to establish the renown of any other place.
