GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. 
figures represent Demeter (Ceres), and Kora (Proserpine), and 
the group between them the Three Horse or Seasons, or the 
Erinnyes or Furies. Three different explanations have been pro¬ 
posed for the scene on the east side [a]. 1. Tantalus bringing to 
Pandarus in Lycia the golden dog stolen from Crete. 2. Asclepios 
(iEsculapius), the seated figure, in front Telesphorus, or Ganymedes 
and Artemis, behind him Charis and Pitho, two of the Graces. 3. 
Neptune seated, before him a boy offering a cock, and a man leaning 
on a staff; behind, Amphitrite and Amvmone. On the north side 
[c], at the corners, are tw T o Harpies flying away with two of the 
daughters of Pandarus, having been sent for that purpose by Zeus, to 
avenge the theft and perjury of their father; a third daughter, Aedon, 
who was saved from destruction, is represented fallen on her knees 
and deploring the fate of her sisters. On this side also is a seated di¬ 
vinity, conjectured to be Zeus, or Pluto, under whose chair is an ani¬ 
mal, either a bear or boar; before him stands an armed man ; they hold 
a helmet between them. On the south side [d], at the corners, are 
two Harpies bearing off two of the daughters of Pandarus. In the 
centre is a seated divinity, supposed to be Zeus, and a female offer¬ 
ing a dove, perhaps Aphrodite. 
Nos. 2—8. Sculptured slabs representing Satyrs, a lion devouring 
a deer, panther, dog, bull, and boar. These form a kind of frieze; 
they are executed in the stone of the country, and were found in the* 
walls of the Acropolis of Xanthus. 
Nos. 9—16. Narrow frieze of cocks and hens, executed in the same 
style; from the walls of the Acropolis of Xanthus. 
Nos. 17—21. Frieze, perhaps from a tomb; a procession of two 
chariots, with old men and youthful charioteers, a led horse, a horseman, 
five figures of priests and priestesses with wands and torches, an armed 
female and a youth standing at the side of a column and chair: found 
inserted into the wall of the Acropolis of Xanthus. 
No. 21*. Fragment, apparently part of a chair. Xanthus. 
No. 22. Bas-relief, part of two draped females wearing sandals, one 
raises with her left hand the border of her talaric tunic. Xanthus. 
No. 23. Triangular fragment, probably the gable end of a tomb ; a 
male and female figure seated, one on each side of an Ionic column, 
on the top of which is a Harpy. Traces of colour remain on this 
slab. Acropolis , Xanthus. 
Nos. 24—27. Fragments, apparently gable ends of a tomb with re¬ 
cesses, having on them the Sphinx, represented with the face of a female, 
the body of a lion, and the wing? of a bird, as the daughter of the Chimaera, 
the indigenous monster of Lycia. Acropolis , Xanthus. 
Nos. 28—30. Draped torsos of three architectural figures, in diploid 
talaric tunics, one edge of which they seem to have been raising.

No. 30 a. Fragment, apparently of a similar figure. Xanthus. 
No. 31. Chest, or soros , found on the top of one of the steles or 
pillar tombs at Xanthus. At the end, in bas-relief, is a lion fondling 
its cubs; and on one side a man standing and stabbing with a sword 
a lion standing on its hind paws; at the other side, a man mounted 
on horseback, followed by another on foot, and a hoplite holding 
a large Argolic buckler.
