the man :and to fay a truth,Ca/amés was not altogether fo perfect & readie in perfonagesof men 
and women,as inthe portraiture of horfes. This Ca/ams was he who made many other coaches 
and chariots, as well with two fteeds as foure;and verely, for abfolute workemanfhip about horles 
wherein hee never miffed, he had not his fellow againe in the world : and yer becaufe hee would 
not be thought unlike himfelfe, but be taken for as good an imageur in expreffing men and wo- 
‘men,as in reprefenting horfes, one ftatue he made in refemblance of ladie 4lcmena, which is 
{o exquifitly wrought as no man could ever {er a better peece of worke by it. 
Tocome nowto dlcamenes trained up under Phidias.A fingular workman he was,8¢wrought  - 
many peeces in marble, asalfo in braffe, and namely abrafen Pesrathlus, knownealfo by the 
-name of Excrinomenos. . 
But 47iftides,who learned his skill under Polycletws,is famous for the chariots that he made as 
well with foure as twohorfes. iphicrates likewife cat in brafle a Lioneffe, which is much praifed, 
and goeth under the name of Ze2aa,and that upon this occafion: There wasacertaine {trumpet 
named Leewa, who beeing familiarly acquainted with Harmodius and Ari/togiton abovenamed, 
(for that fhe could play upon the harpe, and withall fing {6 {weetly toit) and privie to their plots 
and projects as touching the murder of the tyrant Pi(itratas; would never,to die forit, difcover 
and reveal this intention and purpofe of theirs unto the tyrant and hisfavotits, notwithftanding 
ihe was putto moft exquifit and dolourous torments about it. The Athenians therefore defirous 
to honour this woman for her refolute conftancie accordingly,and yet loth to be thought for to 
make fo much of fuch an harlot as fhe was, devifedto reprefent the memoriallofherand hera@ 
by abeatt of her name,and that was a Lionefle: yet for to exprefle the particular motive and rea- 
fon of this henordone unto this Liopefle sthey gave order unto /phicrates the workman,to leave 
out the*tongue in the head of thagLioneffe. *For this har= 
Touching Bryaxis,there be two excellent peeces of his making, towit, B/éalapius and Selen- ro ee 
cw. As for Bedas,he refembled in brafle old Batiws adoring Apollo and inno: And allthree by him might for pain 
curioufly wrought,are now ftanding in Rome within the temple of Concord. Crefilas expreffed in 204 vorment 
braffe a man greevoufly wounded, fainting andreadie to die thereupon ; which hee did folively, wor saa 
that one might perceive therein how little life and breath was left within his bodie.He made like- the thing,the 
wife the image of Pericles *Olympias, who for his divine eloquence and holinefle was worthie of Dit out hrown 
that heavenly name. Andhere by the way,a wonderfull gift this art hath, that it almaies hath made iein the face of 
noble and worthie perfons more noble and famous. Ss Sa 
As for Cephiffedorus the admirable image of Minerva which isto be fen in the haven orharbor 36°) 
of the Athenians,was his workmanfhip:The altar alfobefore the temple of /upiter {urnamed Sa- made fpeechto 
vier wveare the {aid haven,was of his doing, and few peeces of worke there be comparable unto it. tne Pee 
Canachus made one excellent image of Apollo all naked, which by the title and furname of jifea up to . 
Phitefivs ftandeth in thetemple called Didymeum.And this Apollo was caft of the brafle of Aigi- heaven, he 
neticke temperature. There is with the faid pollo another moft exquifit and curious peece of pace 
worke by him devifed and wrought, towit, aftag ftanding fo lightly upon hisfeet, thataman 
may drawa thred under them; and the fame takes hold of the foore underneath, fo daintily,thae 
he feemeth to touch it with one foot by the clea, with another by the heele; and the fame after 
fuch a winding manner twining and turning, as well with the one as the other, thar aman would 
thinke one waile he were about to bounce and {pring forward,and another while to {tare and caft

brafle,who had beene the Prieftrefle of Aviwerva, and exercifed that minifterie threefCore and 
foure yeares. And this artifane made alfothe image of Minerva, furnamed Mufica, upon this
