94 XENOPHON ON HORSEMANSHIP. 



figured vase, p. 2081. But it would be a 

 great mistake to suppose that the hogged 

 mane is the only fashion in art. In the same 

 book examples of long straight or long curly 

 manes are found as follows : black-figured 

 vases, pp. 6^, 725 ; Corinthian vase, p. 1962 ; * 

 altar of Pergamon, p. 1257; Vienna cameo, 

 p. 1390; Frangois vase, plate Ixxiv ; Trajan's 

 column, p. 2057. Short and curly manes are 

 to be seen ; for instance, on a late vase, p. 728, 

 and a Pompeian wall-painting, p. 66^, It is 

 a dangerous thing to offer an opinion on such 

 a point without much more exhaustive re- 

 search than I have made ; but I have been led 

 to believe, from these and many pictures in 

 other books, that the hogged mane was an 

 old fashion, which in the time of Xenophon 

 was passing away.^^ Although I admit that 

 much is to be said on the other side, yet I 

 am strengthened in this belief by observing 

 that out of nearly a hundred horses on the 

 Parthenon friezes only about thirty have 

 hogged manes, and that frequently these 

 thirty have an unfinished look in other 

 points, so that many of them, as works of 

 * I give an illustration o£ this vase on page 22.
