marble, the ivork of Apollonius and Tauriscus, and brought to 

 Home from Khodes. Thcso two artists made it a sort of rivalry 

 as to their parentage, for they declared that, although Apollodorus 

 was their natural progenitor, Menecrates 98 would appear to have 

 heen their father. In the same place, too, there is a Father 

 Liber,* 9 by Eutyehides, 1 highly praised. Near the Portico of Oc- 

 tavia, there is an Apollo, by Philiscus 2 of Khodes, placed in the 

 Temple of that God ; a Latona and Diana also; the .Nine Muses ; 

 and another Apollo, without drapery. The Apollo holding the 

 Lyre, in the same temple, was executed by Timaruhides. a In 

 the Temple of Juno, within the Porticos of Octuviu, there is 

 a figure of that goddess, executed by Dionysius, 4 ami another 

 by Polycles,* as also other statues by Praxiteles.* This Puly- 

 eles, too, in conjunction with Dionysius, 1 the son of Timar- 

 chides, made the statue of Jupiter, which is to be seen in the 

 adjoining temple. 8 The figures of Pan and Olympus Wrestling, 

 in the same place, are by Ucliodorue ;* and they are considered 

 to be the next finest group 10 of this nature in all the world. The 

 same artist also executed a Venus at the Bath, and Polychur- 

 nius another Venus, in an erect 11 posture. 



By the honourable place which the work of Lysias occupies, 

 we may see in what high esteem it was held by the late Em- 

 peror Augustus, who consecrated it in honour of his father 

 Oetavius, in the Palatium, placing it on an arch within a small 



Thebes, to the flanks of an infuriated bull, in revenge for the death of 

 tlii'ir mother, Antiope, who bad been similarly slain by her. This group 

 is supposed still to exist, in part, in the " Farnese Bull,*' which has been 

 in a great measure restored. Winckelmann is of opinion, however, that 

 the Farnese Bull is of anterior date to that here mentioned, and that it 

 belongs to the school of Lysinpus.

* "Pasiteles" would appear to be a preferable reading; for Pliny would 

 surely have devoted more space to a description of these works of Praxiteles.
