40 ARCHITECTURE. 
and pl. 11, fig. 4, the section, drawn according to the designs of the cele 
brated architect, Luigi Canina. The temple was a dipteros dekastylos of the 
Corinthian order, with twenty columns. The interior contained two tiers of 
columns, one above the other, and was a hypethros, for the roof was open 
above the statue of Jupiter. Besides the porticoes, the temple had a pronaos 
formed by four Corinthian columns. The building was erected and the 
statues of gold and ivory put up by Hadrian. The pronaos contained four 
statues of Hadrian, and the peribolus, 2300 feet in circumference, was orna- 
mented with statues which had been supplied by different cities, each con- 
tributing one. Another temple of Jupiter Olympius, of the Doric order, 
had formerly occupied the same spot, whose columns, after its destruction, 
were carried to Rome by Sylla, and erected in the temple of Jupiter Capi- 
tolinus, which was destroyed by fire. For the new temple Hadrian ordered 
the Roman architect Cossutius to adopt the Corinthian order, which was not 
generally introduced into Greece before the year 395 B.c. Of the 112 columns 
16 are still standing. The length of the temple on the upper stair was 354 
feet, by 141 feet in width. The columns had 6} feet diameter, and were 
over 60 feet high; and like the rest of the building, were of Pentelican 
marble. 
Towards the north-east of this temple were the statue of the Pythian 
Apollo, and a temple of the Delphian Apollo. East of the Olympzon, a 
gate in the city wall led to the district of the gardens watered by the Ilissus, 
on the left bank of which was the temple of Boreas. North-east of the 
latter, near the spring of Callirhoé, was a small Ionic temple, which some 
suppose to be that of Diana Agrotera, whilst others think it to be that of 
Ceres or of Triptolemus. It is represented on pi. 16, fig. 36, plan, and pi. 
10, fig. 15, elevation. A few ruins of jt still exist. It belongs to the Ionic 
order, but its proportions, notwithstanding their beauty, deviate considerably 
from those usually met with. The temple was an amphiprostylos tetrastylos, 
and built of Pentelican marble. 
The Stadium of Herodes Atticus, built of marble, was also located on the | 
ieft bank of the Ilissus, as well as a small temple of Hercules ; and a little more 
to the east a temple of Venus, with a statue of the goddess. Opposite the 
latter, on the right bank of the Ilissus, was the Lyceum, containing large 
places for exercise, with 100 columns from Lybia. 
The most remarkable of the monuments in the street of tripods is the cho- 
ragian monument of Lysicrates, sometimes called the Lantern of Demosthe- 
nes. This is one of the most graceful of ancient architectural monuments. 
‘Its elevation is represented on pl. 9, fig. 5, whilst details are given on pl. 19, 
viz. a capital (fig. 10), a base (jig. 18), and the restored dome with the cele- 
brated three-cornered flower that supported the tripod (fig. 24). This 
building, far famed in architectural history, is but 13 feet, 11 inches high, 
and has not more than 5 feet, 4 inches inside diameter. It was constructed 
as follows: Six marble slabs of equal size were placed close together to form 
a hollow cylinder. Along the upright joints semicircular cavities were 
wrought, just wide enough to receive Corinthian columns which were placed 
in them with great accuracy, one half projecting beyond the surface of the
