materials tne Poets worked up their frightful 
fictions. 
II.—Of the Polygonal style, few specimens 
are found in Greece; I believe part of the walls 
of Mycene, a fragment at Argos, and Gortys,* 
and another in Lpirus,f are all that can fairly be 
referred to this order. Hughes says it is very 
common in Magna Grecia and Tuscany, whereas 
I believe no specimen exists in either country, 
except a few fragments at Cossa, in the ancient 
Etruria. With the above exceptions, we find 
the polygonal style in Latium, and in Latiwm 
only.{ There itis to be met with in great abun- 
dance. Norba, Cora, Alatri, Arpino, Ferentino, 
and Segnzi present excellent examples, and frag- 
ments are found near T%volt, at Palestrina, 
Atina, Terracina, and in many other situations. 
These have in general been confounded with 
walls of the first order, no distinction whatever 
being made between them. Dodwell, Hughes, 
and others, class them together, and call them 
Cyclopian; Peter Radel, and after him Middleton,§
