SCULPTURE. 



that they celebrate her as an harlot, but they have made an 

 animal of her name; and that the caufe of the honour might 

 be underftood, they forbade the artift to add the tongue. 

 Bryaxis made ^fculapius and Seleucus ; Bedas made Battus 

 adoring Apollo, and a Juno, which are at Rome, in the 

 temple of Concord. Ctefilaus made a wounded man fainting : 

 in which might be underftood how much life remained ; and 

 an Olympian Pericles, worthy of the epithet. He was ad- 

 mirable in his art, and noble men lie made more noble. Ce- 

 phiflbdorus made in the Athenian port an admirable 

 Minerva, and an altar to the temple of Jupiter the faviour, 

 in the fame port, with which few can be compared. Canachus 

 made aa Apollo naked ; it is called Philxfius in Didymxus: 

 it is of the jEginetic mixture of brafs. Alfo, a deer 

 fufpended in his fteps, that a Ime might be drawn under his 

 feet, retained only in the alternate bite of his hoofs and 

 heel, fo that turning about his teeth to both parts, he ftarts 

 from the repulfe of his action by turns. He made alfo Cele- 

 tizontes, or boys holding hatchets. Chaereas made Alexander 

 the Great and Phihp his father. Ctefilaus, or Defilaus, 

 made a Doryphoron and a wounded Amazon. Demetrius 

 made a Lyfimachus, who was prieft of Minerva fixty-four 

 years. He likewife made a Mmerva, which is called the 

 Mufical ; becaule the ferpents in her Gergon refound to the 

 ftroke of the harp. He alfo made Simenes, the horfeman, 

 who firft wrote on horfemanfhip. Da:dalus made, am.ong 

 hit famous works, two boys ufing the ilrigil. Dinomcnes 

 made Protefilaus and Pythodcmus the wreltler. Euphra- 

 nor's work is Alexander Paris, in which is praifed what is 

 intelligible at once ; the judge of goddeffes, the lover of 

 Helen, and alfo the flayer of Achilles. His is the Minerva 

 at Rome, which is called Catuliana, being dedicated in the 

 Capitol ijy Quintus Lutatius Catulus ; alfo the ftatue of 

 Good Fortune ; in his right hand holding a patera, and in 

 his left a fpike of corn and a poppy. Alfo Latona, the 

 child-bearer, in the temple of Concord, fuftaining in her 

 arms Apollo and Diana. He made alfo achariot with four, and 

 another with two horfes : alfo Cliduchon, or the key-bearer, 

 of the mod perfeft form; alfo a Virtue, and Griecia, both 

 of them coloiTal ; alfo a woman, admiring and adoring ; and 

 Alexander and Philip, in a chariot and four horfes. Euty- 

 chides made Eurotas, in which many faw that art was more 

 liquid than the river itfelf. Hegias made Minerva, and king 

 Pyrrhus, highly praifed ; and Celetizontes, boys ; and Cai- 

 tor and Pollux, before the temple of Jupiter the Thunderer. 

 In the Parian colony is the Hercules of Ifidorus. Eleuthe- 

 reus, the Lycian, was Myron's difciple, who made (worthy 

 of his preceptor) a boy, blowing the languid fire ; and the 

 Argonauts. Leochares made an eagle, who underftood what 

 he took away in Ganymede, and what he bore, fcarcely 

 touching the reft with his talons ; alfo the boy Autolycus, 

 victor in the Pancratium, on whofe account Xenophon 

 wrote his Sympofion ; Jupiter alio, thundering m the Ca- 

 pitol, praifed above all ; alio Apollo with a diadem. Ly- 

 cifcus made the boy Lagon, cunning, falfe, and impudent. 

 Lycus made a boy offering incenfe. Menechmus made one, 

 with his neck bended, and his face preffing his knee: tiiis Me- 

 nechmus wrote of his art. Naucydes made Mercury, and a 

 Difcobolus ; and, as it is thought, a perfon facrificing a ram. 

 Naucerus made a wreftler, drawing his breath. Niceratus 

 made uEfculapius and Hygeia, which are in the temple of 

 Concord at Rome. Pyromachus made a chariot with four 

 horfes, governed by Alcibiades. Polycles made a Her- 

 maphrodite, a noble work ; Pyrrhus, Hygeia and Minerva ; 

 Phoenix, the difciple of Lyfippus, Epitacrfes ; Stipax, the 

 Cyprian, one celebrated ftatue, an augur ; here was the 

 flave of the Olympian Pericles burning the entrails of a 

 facrifice, with a full mouth blowing the fit<!. Silanion made 



Apollodorus the mod accurate among all in the art, and liis 

 own inimical judge, breaking the fcarcely perfed ftatue, 

 becaufe he was unable to fatisfy his own wilhes in the art, 

 and he was therefore furnamed the Madman : in this he 

 expreifed not the man made of brafs, but rage itfelf ; 

 a noble Achilles he alfo made, and Epiftate exercifing 

 the athletse. Strongyhon made an Amazon, which, from 

 the beauty of her leg, was named Eucnemon : the 

 emperor Nero always carried it with him ; he alfo made 

 a boy, whom the love of Brutus of Phihppi rendered 

 illuftrious with his name. Theodorus, who made the laby* 

 rinth at Samos, caft his own likenefs in brals : befides the 

 admirable refemblance, it is celebrated for the dehcacy 

 of its execution ; the right hand holds a file and the left a 

 fquare ; it was taken to Prxnefte. He alfo compofed a car 

 and driver, fo fmaU, that they might be covered with the wing 

 of a fly. Xenncrates, difciple of Tificrates, or, as others 

 fay, of Euthycrates, excelled, both in the number of his 

 ftatues, and compofed volumes on his art. Many artills 

 made Attains and Eumenes fighting again ft the Galatians. 

 Ifigonus, Pyromachus, Stratonicus,andAntigonus, compofed 

 volumes on the art. Boethius, although more excellent in 

 workingfilver, madeamoli beautiful infant ftrangling a goofe. 

 But of all the works I have mentioned (fays Pliny), the 

 principal were dedicated by the emperor Vefpafian in the 

 temple of Peace, and his other buildings, being brought 

 together by the rapine of Nero into the city, and difpofed 

 in fituations in his golden houle. Befldes, there are other 

 artitls equal in their merits, but none of their works are pre- 

 eminent; Arifton, who was ufed to workin filver; Calliades, 

 Ctefias, Cantharas of Sicyon, Dionyfodorus, difciple of Cri- 

 tias, Deliades, Euphorion, Eunicus, and Hecatius. Among 

 the f culptors in filver were Lefbocles, Prodorus, Pythodicus, 

 PolygnotU3 ; thefe were noble painters ; alfo among the 

 fculptors in filver ; Stratonicus and Scymnus, who was the 

 difciple of Critias. Pliny then enumerates thofe who made 

 works of this kind, as Apollodorus, Androbulus, Afclepio- 

 dorus and Alevas, who made philofophers ; Apellas made 

 adoring females ; Antigonus and Peryxiomenon made the 

 T)Tannicides above fpoken of; Antimachus and Atheno- 

 dorus made noble women ; Ariftodemus made wreftlers, and 

 a chariot with two horfes, with their charioteer ; philofo- 

 phers ; an old woman, and king Seleucus ; his Doryphorus 

 alfo is a graceful work. There were two of the name of 

 Cephiflodorus ; the firft made Mercury feeding the infant 

 Bacchus ; he made alfo an orator, with his hand raifed up, 

 but the perfon is uncertain ; the other reprefented philofo- 

 phers. Colotes, who worked with Phidias on his Olympian 

 Jupiter, reprefented philofophers ; alfo Cleon and Cen- 

 chramis, and Challicles, and Cephis. Chalcoflhenes made a 

 comedian, and an athleta ; Dahippus made a ftrigilift ; Dai- 

 phron, Democritus, and Dsmon, the philofophers. Epigonus 

 excelled almoft all the reft already recorded, in his imitation 

 of a trumpeter, and a mother piteoully embracing her flain 

 infant ; and Eubohs counting by his fingers. Mycon made 

 a beautful Athleta ; Menogenes a chariot and four horfes. 

 Nor was Niceratus interior to them all, rcprefenting Al- 

 cibiades in his attack ; and Demaratus facrificing ; his mother 

 lighting a lamp. Tificrates made a chariot and two horfes ; 

 Pitho placed a woman upon it ; alfo he made Mars and 

 Mercury, which are in the temple of Concord at Rome. 

 Perillus, "(vhom no one prifes, more cruel than Phalaris the 

 tyrant, made a bull, in which he promiitd that a man, 

 by the power of fire, might be compelled to bellow, but he 

 himfelf, by a more jutl atl of cruelty, was made to experience 

 it. Thus a moft humane art was called away from the iimi- 

 litudes of gods and men. Was it for this that fo many la- 

 boured to rear an art that it might become a torment >
