ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 1 79 



given in our picture, — Phalius, of the horse at the 

 left, and Calhphora, of that at the right. The 

 first, which was also the name of the charger of 

 Belisarius (Procopius, B. G. i, 18), means that the 

 animal had a white star on his forehead ; the 

 second means " handsome legged." The perpen- 

 dicular inscription between the two animals is a 

 dedication (see p. 169) of the vase to the hand- 

 some Onetorides. 



Page 69. Bronze statuette of Alexander on 

 Bucephalas in the Naples Museum, found at Her- 

 culaneum ; from the outline engraving in the 

 '' Museo Borbonico," iii, 43. Ever since its dis- 

 covery in 1 761, it has been supposed to be a 

 reduced copy from the bronze group by Lysippus, 

 made at Alexander's own order, to represent an 

 incident at the battle on the Granicus in 334 b. c. 

 In this battle the king's helmet was broken by a 

 blow from a sword (Plutarch, Alex. 17) ; hence 

 he is here represented bare-headed. The entire 

 group, consisting of many figures, was carried to 

 Rome by Metellus (Veil. Pat. i, 11, 3). This 

 horse closely resembles the other (p. 51) found at 

 the same time and place. On the broad brow, see 

 note 12, p. 125 ; on the cloth, note 42, p. 140; 

 on the bit, p. 149; on the breastplate, p. 67 ; on 

 the flaps at Alexander's shoulders and loins, p. 66.
