ATHENS 
CHAP, plane upon which the columns stand, IVheler 
was induced to believe that there were origi- 
nally six rows of pillars, and twenty in each 
row, which would complete the number men- 
tioned by PAUSANIAS I . Chandler and Stuart 
are the first authors who have described the 
Columns of Hadrian as the remains of the Temple 
of JUPITER OLYMPIUS*. Le Roy considered 
them as a part of the Pantheon 3 ; a name 
bestowed occasionally, by different travellers, 
upon almost every building in Athens, whether 
in the upper or in the Imver city. Theodosius 
Zygomalas, author of the Letter to Martin Crusius, 
published in 1583, mentions the Parthenon* 
the engraver to represent these figures sufficiently diminutive. Unable 
to conceive the existence of columns of such magnitude that a man of 
ordinary stature may remain concealed within any of the canelures, 
some addition,"as usual, has been made by the engraver to the size of 
the figures, and the apparent magnitude of the architecture has been 
thereby diminished.
