RELIEFS WITH RIDER AND HORSE, HEROIFIED.

In the following reliefs the deceased person is heroified, and represented as receiving libations or worship. The sepulchral serpent is frequently introduced. For a discussion of the type, see above, p. 301.

[Sidenote: =750.=]

Sepulchral relief of a warrior. In the centre of the relief is a bearded male figure, heavily armed. He wears a helmet, cuirass, and greaves, and has a spear in his left hand. He stands near a trophy which consists of a helmet, cuirass, and greaves attached to the trunk of a tree. On the left side of the trophy stands a female figure, pouring a libation from a jug into a cup. A serpent, coiled about the trophy, drinks from the cup. On the right of the relief is the forepart of the warrior's horse and the head of a groom. The relief is bounded by two pilasters and an architrave.

The inscription on the upper and lower edges contains a list of names of men in the dative case, with their cities added. The persons commemorated belonged to various parts of the Peloponnesus, Northern Greece, Thrace and Macedonia. From the position of the inscription, it is plain that it is independent of the relief, and probably it is earlier.--_Brought from Greece by Mr. Topham, 1725; Presented by Sir Joseph Banks and the Hon. A. C. Fraser, 1780._

CASTS OF LYCIAN SEPULCHRAL RELIEFS.

The following casts are derived from Lycian rock-cut tombs, discovered by Sir C. Fellows. Tombs of the normal type have a facade with architecture imitating wooden construction. Behind the facade is a vestibule, or portico, often adorned with reliefs on each side. At the back is the door of the actual sepulchral chamber. Nos. 760-764 are derived from tombs of this type.

[Sidenote: =760.=]

Cast of relief from the east or left side of the portico of a rock-cut tomb. Bellerophon mounted on Pegasos appears to be thrusting as with a spear at the Chimaera which is roughly indicated in the right-hand lower corner of the relief. Pegasos has the mane tied in a topknot between the ears, as in the relief from Xanthos, No. 86. The cast is painted in imitation of the original.--_Tlos._

Height, 3 feet 6-1/2 inches; width, 3 feet 7-3/4 inches. Fellows,
_Lycia_, p. 136 and plate. For general view of the tomb, see
Benndorf, _Reisen in Lykien_, I., p. 139, and pl. 42 (on the
right).

[Sidenote: =761-4.=]

Casts of reliefs from the sides of the portico of a rock-cut tomb at _Pinara_. The outside of the tomb has an elaborate facade with sculptured pediment, frieze, and other ornaments. (For general view, see Fellows, _Lycia_, pl. facing p. 141, and Benndorf, _Reisen in Lykien_, I., pl. 19.) Within the portico, on each side, projecting beam ends divide the sculpture into two panels. Each of the four reliefs represents a view of a Lycian city, but there is no proof that they are four different views of the city of Pinara, as Fellows thought (_Lycia_, p. 141).

[Sidenote: =761.=]

Cast of the upper relief on the left or west side of the portico. View of part of a city on a hill, with castellated walls. Within are towers, with windows and connected by a wall, on which is a relief of three male figures.

Height, 3 feet 1/2 inch; width, 4 feet 2-1/4 inches.

[Sidenote: =762.=]

Cast of the lower relief on the left or west side of the portico. View of part of a city on a hill with castellated walls and turrets, a large pylon (?) and several tombs of forms well known in Lycia. In the lower wall is a relief, with a draped and bearded man leaning on a staff and addressing a smaller figure. For the triangular arch openings in the wall, compare Dodwell, _Pelasgic Remains_, pl. 27, view of walls of a city near Mesolonghi.

Height, 2 feet 10 inches; width, 4 feet 2-1/2 inches.

[Sidenote: =763.=]

Cast of the upper relief on the right or east side of the portico. View of part of a city on a hill with castellated walls and turrets. A figure, apparently intended to represent a living man, and not a sculpture, as on the other reliefs, lifts his hand near one of the towers.

Height, 3 feet 2 inches; width, 4 feet 1/2 inch.

[Sidenote: =764.=]

Cast of the lower relief on the right or east side of the portico. View of part of a city with castellated walls and turrets, built on natural rocks. On the right is a large structure resembling a tomb. On the left is a staircase, leading up to a door in a turret.

Height, 2 feet 10 inches; width, 4 feet 1/2 inch. The four reliefs
are engraved, Fellows, _Lycia_, pl. facing p. 142; Benndorf,
_Reisen in Lykien_, I., p. 54; _Synopsis_, _Lycian Room_, Nos.
148, 149.

[Sidenote: =765, 766.=]

The following casts are from a portion of the sculptures decorating a tomb, discovered by Sir C. Fellows, at _Cadyanda_. The tomb is cut out of a large piece of detached rock, and in type somewhat resembles the large Lycian tombs in the British Museum, or the tomb of Xanthos, shown in the background of pl. iii., the principal difference being in the treatment of the roof. At the end of the tomb are two doors. One door is filled with an immovable panel, with a figure of a draped bearded man holding an oinochoe, and inscribed [Greek: Salas], and in Lycian _zzala_. The second door is believed to have been fitted with a panel, having the wife of Salas in relief. (Fellows, _Lycia_, p. 117.) The reliefs, of which casts are preserved in the British Museum, formed a frieze immediately below the cornice on each side of the tomb. Below this frieze on each side was a combat of warriors on a larger scale.

Fellows, _Lycia_, p. 116; Petersen, _Reisen in Lykien_, II.,
p. 193. Views and plans of the tomb are included in the Scharf
portfolio of drawings in the British Museum.

[Sidenote: =765.=]

Cast of a portion of the relief on the south side of the tomb at _Cadyanda_.

At the left end of the relief a girl draped in plain long chiton with sleeves, and a cap with tassel, stands to the right holding an aryballos and alabastron. On the left of the principal relief is a group of four figures playing with knuckle-bones. In front are a girl seated and a girl kneeling, both closely draped and having long hair. Behind are a youth standing, wrapped in a mantle, and a woman who holds an aryballos in her left hand and wears her mantle over her head. All the figures make animated gestures. Near the head of the youth is the inscription [Greek: Mesos]. Next on the right is a woman seated, holding a boy in her hands, and wearing her mantle over her head. Behind her is a female figure, much mutilated, standing to the left with her right hand under her chin. The remainder of the relief, which is not represented by a cast, appears to have contained either a sacrificial group (Scharf), or warriors (Petersen, _Reisen in Lykien_, ii., p. 193).

Height, 2 feet 3/4 inch; length, 4 feet 2 inches. Fellows,

[Sidenote: =766.=]

Cast of the relief on the north side of the tomb at _Cadyanda_. This relief which is much mutilated, appears to contain a banquet scene, with four couches, each having two persons reclining and several attendant figures. Two attendants stand near the first couch on the left. One has a wreath in the right hand. Near him is the inscription [Greek: ...A....A]. A smaller figure plays on the flute. On the first couch are remains of a figure seated, nearly erect, and of a figure lying with his head resting on his left hand and having a bowl in his right hand. A portion of the original sculpture is here inserted in the cast. Above is the inscription [Greek: ...easob] (?), and below is the bilingual inscription _edazzala_ [Greek: Eidassalas]. The next group is obscure, but appears to consist of a figure seated, with the right hand stretched out, so as to be seen above the head of the figure last described, and a figure holding a child which stretches out its arms to a figure on the right. Below the first of these two figures is the bilingual inscription _mezo_ [Greek: Mesos]. On the left of the second of the two figures is the bilingual inscription _zzala_ [Greek: Salas], the Lycian being also repeated below, _zzal(a)_. We must, therefore, suppose this figure to be Salas, the owner of the tomb. The child is named _horlar_ (?) On the next couch is a draped figure reclining on the left elbow, and holding out his right hand to the child. Near this figure is the inscription [Greek: SIRO] (?), and below it, remains of an illegible inscription. Next on the right is a small draped female figure, seated on a chair, with the hands stretched out. Behind her is a larger figure standing, with the bilingual inscription _...katamna_ [Greek: Hekatomnas]. On the third couch are two men reclining. Above the first is the inscription [Greek: Kparam[os]], and below _[k]pparama_. Below the second is the bilingual inscription _mola_ [Greek: Molos] (?). Below the couch is a dog. On the fourth couch are also two men reclining. Above the first is the inscription [Greek: Seskos], and below remains of the corresponding Lycian inscription _ze...wwa_. Below the second is a bilingual inscription, in which only the Greek name, [Greek: Kendyomis], is legible. A dog stands below the couch.

At the right end of the relief, corresponding to the figure at the left end of the north side, is a nude male figure dancing, with the bilingual inscription _aekatam[n]a_ [Greek: Hekatomnas].

[Sidenote: =770.=]

Fragment of relief. Zeus, wearing a mantle, is seated on a stool (_diphros_). His left arm is raised, as if resting on a sceptre. The right hand is extended. Near him is Hera, standing, with her right arm across her breast and her left hand raised to her veil. The relief which is only complete at the right side, was bounded by pilasters and an architrave. The missing part may have contained the figures of suppliants.--_Athens (?)._ _Elgin Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 7 inches; width, 1 foot 2 inches.
_Synopsis_, No. 376 (227); _Mus. Marbles_, IX., pl. 37, fig. 2;
cf. Schoene, _Griechische Reliefs_, pl. 25, figs. 104, 105.

[Sidenote: =771.=]

Relief from the upper part of an inscribed stele. Athene, standing on the right of the scene, places with her right hand a wreath on the head of a male figure less in stature. On the left is a draped female figure holding out in her right hand a wreath or a cup. The left hand of this figure is raised to the level of the top of her head, as if resting on a staff. She wears a long chiton, over which is a diploidion reaching nearly to the knees. A short mantle hangs on her left arm. Athene is clad in a long chiton with diploidion; her left hand rests on the edge of her shield at her side.

From a comparison of this relief, with other similar compositions from Athens, it is probable that it is the heading broken off from an honorary decree of the Athenian people by which a crown was conferred on some city or individual for services. (Compare above, p. 303; Schoene, _Griech. Reliefs_, pl. 16, fig. 75, p. 41; and the fragment, No. 772.)

The figure of Athene here as on many other reliefs is in its general outlines copied from the Athene Parthenos of Pheidias. (Compare Michaelis, pl. 15, figs. 6-17.)--_Athens (?)._ _Elgin Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 11 inches; width, 1 foot 4-1/2 inches.

[Sidenote: =772.=]

Fragment of relief from the upper part of an inscribed stele. Athene stands on the right; with her right hand she places a crown on the head of a youth, who stands facing her on the left. He is clad in a mantle. Athene wears a crested helmet and a long chiton, over which is a diploidion; on her breast is the aegis; her left hand holds her shield which rests on the ground on its edge. The relief was bounded by pilasters and a pediment. It is probable that originally a third figure balanced the figure of Athene, as in the preceding relief, No. 771.

This figure of Athene, like the preceding, is in its general outlines copied from the Athene Parthenos of Pheidias.--_Athens (?)._ _Elgin Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 4 inches; width, 9-1/2 inches.
_Mus. Marbles_, IX., pl. 36, fig. 1; _Synopsis_, No. 371 (89);

see Schoene, _Griech. Reliefs_, pl. 22, No. 96; Wolters, Nos.
1157-1181.

[Sidenote: =773.=]

Part of a relief, from the upper part of an inscribed stele. Athene stands on the left, and with her right hand she crowns a draped male figure, apparently a bearded man, who raises his right arm as if in adoration. Athene wears a helmet and chiton with diploidion, and places her left hand on her shield, of which the inner side is shown. The spear of Athene rests against her left shoulder, with its end on the ground inside the shield. The relief is bounded by pilasters, with entablature and roof-tiles. The figure of Athene (like Nos. 771, 772) is roughly copied from the Athene Parthenos of Pheidias.

Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 6 inches; width, 9-3/4 inches.

[Sidenote: =774.=]

Relief: Apollo receiving a libation from Victory. Apollo wears the dress of a Kitharoedos, namely, a long chiton with sleeves, over which is a diploidion girt at the waist; a mantle hangs from his left shoulder; his long hair is looped up in a broad plait behind, under a diadem; a single long plait falls over each ear; he holds out a bowl with his right hand, while his left strikes his lyre, which is supported by a broad band passing over the left wrist; from the lyre hang two ends of ribbons; he wears armlets and sandals. The Victory is clad in a long chiton, over which is a diploidion girt at the waist; she wears bracelets and armlets. Both figures stand with the heels raised from the ground: at the side of the Victory is a circular altar, on which is sculptured in relief a winged female figure between two festoons. This subject occurs on several other reliefs in marble, for one of which see below, No. 775, and also on a terracotta relief in the British Museum. (For a list, see Welcker, _Alte Denkmaeler_, ii., p. 37.) All these sculptures exhibit the same peculiar style of affected archaism, known as archaistic. On a comparison of the reliefs in which this subject occurs, it will be seen that the one here described is part of a larger composition in which Leto and Artemis follow behind Apollo, and a temple is introduced in the background; a tripod, a statue on a pedestal, the _omphalos_, a plane tree, and the Horae on the altar also occur as accessories. It seems probable that these reliefs are votive, and that in selecting as their subject the victory of Apollo in a musical contest, the dedicator indirectly commemorated his own triumph in a similar exercise of skill.--_Hamilton Coll., 1772._

Marble; height, 2 feet 1 inch; width, 2 feet 1 inch. Restored: the
greater part of the body of Apollo, lower part of body of Victory,
column on left, and lower part of column on right. The parts
restored have been copied from more perfect marbles in the Villa
Albani. _Mus. Marbles_, II., pl. 13; Ellis, _Townley Gallery_,

[Sidenote: =775.=]

Fragment of a relief which probably commemorates a musical or dramatic victory. Two draped female figures move to the right: the foremost of these (Artemis) holds out in both hands a lighted torch; she also has a quiver with a bow projecting from it, behind her shoulder. The second figure, who is probably Leto, holds in her left hand a sceptre, the head of which is formed by a pomegranate flower. The drapery of both figures is arranged in the archaistic style. Both figures wear a long chiton with sleeves, over which is a long full garment reaching nearly to the feet; over this again is a diploidion girt at the waist. A mantle falls from the left shoulder of Artemis, floating to below her knees; her companion with her right hand draws forward over her right shoulder the edge of a mantle, the other end of which falls over her left arm. The heads of both figures are encircled by a diadem, from beneath which two long plaits of hair fall on each shoulder.

These figures are moving beside a plain wall, beyond which is shown a Corinthian temple; the tiles of the roof with the ornamental fronts of the covering tiles are represented, but in incorrect perspective: on the extreme left of the scene is a tripod standing on a polygonal pedestal which forms the termination of the wall.

In order to understand the subject of this fragment, it must be compared with similar reliefs in which the remainder of the original composition has been preserved. (See above, No. 775.) We may assume that the fragment here described, when complete, had on the right a figure of Apollo Kitharoedos leading the procession, and holding out a bowl to receive a libation from a Victory. The temple represented in these reliefs may be that of Apollo at Delphi.--_Elgin Coll._

[Sidenote: =776.=]

Votive relief representing an offering to Apollo. On the right, the god is seated on the _omphalos_, holding up his right hand. The object held up in this hand has been broken away. A mantle is wrapped round his body, and he wears sandals. On the left are three mortals, clad in Roman military armour, who appear to be approaching as if to consult the Oracle of Apollo, and who, from the difference of stature, are probably a father and two sons. Between them and the god are two female figures, of colossal proportions, who stand to the front, their heads turned towards Apollo. Each wears a diadem, and the figure on the left holds a box containing incense in her left hand. These two figures are thought to be Leto and Artemis, whose worship was associated with that of Apollo. The relief is bounded by two pilasters surmounted by an entablature. On the base are the remains of a dedication to Apollo, in elegiac verse, which has been restored as follows, by Koehler:

[Sidenote: =777.=]

Fragment of votive relief dedicated by Asclepiodotos to Apollo Tadokomeites. The upper part is missing. On the right is the figure on a colossal scale of Apollo Kitharoedos, preserved only from the knees downwards. On the left a draped male figure kneels by an altar, holding a ram, and having a knife in the right hand. Behind the altar is a tree. On the left of the relief, a male figure, whose head is wanting, stands holding a conical object in his right hand.

[Sidenote: =778.=]

Fragment of votive relief. Artemis stands with the right arm on her right thigh, and leaning on what appears to be a torch. She wears a huntress dress, with short chiton, and has a hound standing beside her. On the right is an altar at which a male worshipper appears to be making an offering. On the extreme right is the hand and drapery of a female figure making a gesture of adoration.--_Ephesus._ _J. T. Wood._

Ephesian marble; height, 1 foot 1 inch; width, 9 inches.

[Sidenote: =779.=]

Fragment of relief, including the upper part of a standing figure of Artemis, from the middle of the thighs. At her left side was a stag, of which the head alone remains. In the centre is a female figure with the right arm extended. On the right is a female worshipper of smaller stature, who has the right hand raised, making a gesture of adoration. Around the relief is a rudely cut rocky background.

Greek marble; height, 1 foot 1-1/2 inches; width, 1 foot.

[Sidenote: =780.=]

Votive relief (?). Two youths on horseback, probably the Dioscuri, though the conical cap, _pileus_, by which they are distinguished is wanting. Each wears a chiton and chlamys. They are beardless; their hair is short and bound with a diadem; the bridles have been painted in red, which is still faintly visible on the marble. The horses are small and compact, like those on the frieze of Parthenon, and have hogged manes.--_Purchased from Sir W. Hamilton, 1772._

Marble; height, 1 foot 5-1/2 inches; length, 1 foot 9-1/4 inches.

[Sidenote: =781.=]

Votive relief. Two youthful male figures, perhaps the Dioscuri, stand to the front, having an altar between them. One is nude, and the other only has drapery on the left arm. They have spears in their left hands. One appears to be holding an oinochoe in his right hand, and the other a phiale. They stand between two Ionic columns, surmounted by an entablature, with antefixal tiles, and festoons of rosettes above.

Marble; height, 1 foot 6-1/2 inches; width, 1 foot 2-3/4 inches.

[Sidenote: =782.=]

[Sidenote: =783.=]

Votive relief. Kybele seated within a distyle temple. On her head is a calathos; a long tress of hair falls on each shoulder; she wears a long chiton with sleeves and girt at the waist, and a mantle. In her right hand she holds a bowl; at her right side is a lion; her left hand is advanced as if it had held a sceptre, probably of metal, which is now wanting. On each side of the base of the calathos is a hole, probably for the attachment of a metal wreath.--_Elgin Coll._

[Sidenote: =785.=]

Fragment of a relief, probably votive, containing Hermes, who wears a short chiton, chlamys, and petasos, and holds out a phiale in the right hand. On his left is a female figure, also holding a phiale. On the right, the right arm alone remains of a third figure with a phiale.--_Knidos._

Marble; height, 1 foot 3 inches; width, 1 foot 1/2 inch.

[Sidenote: =786.=]

Relief with three figures. On the left is Athene, having long chiton, peplos, helmet, aegis, spear. Beside her is a seated animal, perhaps a lion. In the centre is Aphrodite (?), wearing long chiton, peplos, and polos. She has a spear in her left hand, and a much mutilated Eros (?) standing by her side. On the right is a figure of the deified Heracles (?), half-draped in mantle and lion's skin, with the club in his left hand and a sceptre or thyrsus in his right hand. He appears to wear the Egyptian crown.--_Presented by H. Gally Knight, Esq., 1839._

Parian marble (?); height, 1 foot 1-1/2 inches; width, 1 foot 1-1/4
inches. Wolters, No. 1845.

[Sidenote: =787.=]

Fragment of a relief, with a male figure, heavily draped, wearing long chiton and himation, and having long hair falling on the shoulders. The left hand is raised, and there are marks of the attachment of a metal object, perhaps a sceptre or thyrsos. The figure also wore a metal wreath. The relief, which is only complete on the right side, was bounded by pilasters and an entablature.--_Athens (?)._ _Elgin Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 2 feet 5 inches; width, 1 foot 7 inches.
_Mus. Marbles_, IX., pl. 38, fig. 1; _Synopsis_, No. 176 (107).

[Sidenote: =788.=]

Fragment of a relief, with a group of gods, viz.: Hermes, with caduceus and petasos; Zeus, with a sceptre; and Kybele, having a polos and sceptre. Each of the three holds out a bowl in the right hand. On the left, in low relief, is a diminutive figure seated on rocks by a ship; on the right are two warriors, seated, having shields and swords.

Marble; height, 1 foot 4 inches; width, 1 foot 10 inches.

[Sidenote: =789.=]

Relief, representing offerings to Eileithyia (?). A draped female figure is seated on a chair with foot-stool, turned to the right. With the left hand she holds a part of her mantle which passes over her head. On the right is a draped woman who approaches, holding a closely-swathed baby on her left arm, and making a gesture with the right hand. A similar figure stands on the right, with a baby on her left arm, and having the right hand raised to her head in a manner expressive of sorrow. Behind the chair is a woman advancing, holding a baby in both arms, and on the left is a woman who carries a dish (?) on her left hand and has a casket hanging from her right hand.

The separate figures would be well suited to a sepulchral relief, on which the seated figure and a figure with a baby might well be represented. The whole composition, however, seems more suitable for a representation of mothers making offerings to some goddess, perhaps Eileithyia.--_From Sigeum in the Troad._ _Elgin Coll._

Bluish marble; height, 1 foot 4 inches; length, 5 feet 9 inches;
width, 2 feet. The marble was probably the sculptured base of
a statue or group. Afterwards it was roughly converted into a
water-basin, and in modern times it served as a seat at the right
side of the door of a church at Sigeum. The Sigean inscription
formed a corresponding seat at the left side of the door. Lady

[Sidenote: =790.=]

Relief: Cyrene crowned by Libya. This relief represents the nymph Cyrene in the act of strangling a lion, while, to commemorate this triumph, a crown is held over her head by Libya.

Inscribed: [Greek:

Kyrenen polion metroptolin hen stephei aute
epeiron Libye trisson echousa kleos,
enthad' hyper melathroio leontophonon theto Karpos,
euxamenos, megales sema philoxenies.]

The inscription may be thus translated: "Here over the architrave, Karpos, making this dedication, placed Cyrene, mother of cities, slayer of lions, in token of great hospitality. Libya, who has the glory of being a third continent, herself crowns her."

Cyrene stands on the left, in attire very like that of Artemis as a huntress. She wears a chiton reaching to the knees, over which is a chlamys, and buskins; her hair is drawn back from her face. Both her arms are locked round the lion's neck. Libya wears a long chiton girt at the waist, and a mantle fastened between the breasts and falling down behind; her hair, bound with a diadem, is arranged over her forehead in long, regular curls, and falls down her neck; at her side is an animal couchant, of which the head is broken off, and which is perhaps a gazelle. The scene takes place on rocky ground. Two vines arch their branches over the group.

According to the legend told by Pindar (_Pyth._ ix. 26) Cyrene was the daughter of Hypseus, king of the Lapiths in Thessaly, whose flocks she guarded against wild beasts. Apollo, seeing her slaying a lion in the valleys of Pelion, became enamoured of her, and carried her off to the part of Libya which afterwards bore her name. According to another legend (Scholiast on Apoll. Rhod. _Argon._, ii., 498, &c.), Eurypylos, king of Libya, had promised a portion of his kingdom to the person who would slay a lion then dreaded for his ravages. Cyrene performed this exploit, and received in reward the promised district. It is probably in connection with this later legend that Libya is introduced crowning Cyrene in the relief. Aristaeus, a mythic founder of Cyrene, was the son of Apollo and Cyrene. The form of the relief suggests that it may have been a metope, and the words [Greek: hyper melathroio] in the inscription have therefore been translated "above the architrave."--_Found outside the Temple of Aphrodite, Cyrene._
