  Reliefs

  The 
  originals 
  of 
  

   white 
  marble 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  London. 
  The 
  monument 
  

   from 
  which 
  these 
  reliefs 
  were 
  taken 
  was 
  discovered 
  in 
  1838 
  at 
  

   Xanthos, 
  in 
  Lycia, 
  Asia 
  Minor. 
  It 
  is 
  assigned 
  to 
  the 
  sixth 
  century 
  

   B. 
  C., 
  and 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  solid 
  rectangular 
  block 
  of 
  limestone, 
  17 
  feet 
  

   high 
  and 
  8 
  feet 
  4 
  inches 
  square, 
  surmounted 
  by 
  a 
  low 
  cornice 
  and 
  a 
  

   flat 
  top. 
  Below 
  the 
  cornice 
  is 
  a 
  frieze, 
  about 
  3 
  feet 
  3 
  inches 
  in 
  

   height, 
  surrounding 
  the 
  four 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  monument, 
  leaving 
  only 
  a 
  

   small 
  opening 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  side, 
  through 
  which 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  

   dead 
  were 
  passed 
  into 
  a 
  chamber 
  cut 
  in 
  the 
  rock. 
  The 
  name 
  " 
  Harpy 
  

   Tomb 
  " 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  flying 
  figures 
  at 
  the 
  corners, 
  each 
  of 
  which 
  

   has 
  the 
  head, 
  breast, 
  and 
  arms 
  of 
  a 
  maiden, 
  the 
  claws, 
  wings, 
  and 
  

   tail 
  of 
  a 
  bird, 
  and 
  an 
  oval 
  body. 
  Each 
  is 
  carrying 
  a 
  small 
  human 
  

   figure 
  and 
  represents 
  the 
  transport 
  of 
  souls 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  world.

  On 
  the 
  wall, 
  Eleusian 
  Relief. 
  Cast 
  of 
  an 
  original 
  of 
  Parian 
  marble 
  

   which 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  1859 
  at 
  Eleusis, 
  Greece, 
  and 
  which 
  is 
  considered 
  

   to 
  be 
  a 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  fifth 
  century 
  B. 
  C. 
  Now 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  

   of 
  Athens. 
  The 
  relief 
  represents 
  Demeter 
  (Ceres) 
  and 
  Persephone 
  

   (Proserpina), 
  goddesses 
  of 
  agriculture, 
  dispatching 
  Triptolemus, 
  a 
  

   mythical 
  youth 
  of 
  Eleusis, 
  to 
  spread 
  the 
  blessings 
  of 
  agriculture 
  

   among 
  men. 
  In 
  the 
  center 
  stands 
  Triptolemus, 
  his 
  right 
  hand 
  up- 
  

   lifted 
  to 
  receive 
  some 
  object 
  from 
  Persephone, 
  whom 
  he 
  faces. 
  She 
  

   bears 
  in 
  her 
  left 
  hand 
  a 
  long 
  scepter, 
  the 
  right 
  hand 
  probably 
  held 
  

   ears 
  of 
  grain 
  which 
  she 
  was 
  giving 
  him. 
  Behind 
  him 
  stands 
  

   Demeter, 
  holding 
  in 
  her 
  left 
  hand 
  a 
  torch 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  right 
  she 
  is 
  

   presumably 
  placing 
  a 
  wreath 
  or 
  crown 
  upon 
  his 
  head.
