painter. Even to this day, the story is still attached to the 

 picture which lie was then engaged upon, to the effect, that 

 rrotogenes painted it beneath the sword. It is his Satyr, 

 known as the " Anapauomenos ;" G in whose hand, to mark the 

 sense of security that he felt, the painter has placed a pair of 

 pipes. 



Protogcnes executed also, a Cydippe ; a Tlepolemus ; a 

 portrait of Philiseus, the tragic poet, in an attitude of medi- 

 tation; nn Athlete; a portrait of King Antigonus, and one of 

 the mother of Aristotle. 7 It was this philosopher too, who 

 advised him to paint the- exploits of Alexander the Great, as 

 being certain to be held in everlasting remembrance. The 

 impulse, however, of his natural disposition, combined with a 

 certain artistic caprice, led him in preference to adopt the 

 various subjects which have just been mentioned. His last 

 works were representations of Alexander and the god Pan. 

 He also executed some figures in bronze, as already 8 stated. 



At the same period also, lived Asclepiodorus, 9 who was 

 greatly admired by Apelles for his proportions. The tyrant 

 Mnason 10 paid him, for his picture of the Twelve Gods, at the 

 rate of thirty minaj for each divinity. This same Mnason also 

 paid Theomnestus twenty mime for each of his Heroes. 



In addition to these, it is only proper to mention ^sicomachns, 11 

 the son and disciple of Aristiajus. Ho painted a Rape of 

 Proserpina, a picture that was formerly in the Temple of 

 ^liriervu in the Capitol, above the shrine of Juventas. 12 Another 

 picture of his was to be seen also in the Capitol, placed there by 

 the Roman general Plancus, 13 a Victory soaring aloft in a 

 chariot: lie was the first painter who represented Ulysses 

 wearing the pileus. 14 lie painted also an Apollo and Diana; 

 the Mother 15 of the Gods seated on a Lion ; the fine picture 

 of the Bacchantes, with Satyrs moving stealthily towards 



" In repose."
