THE STYLES OF SKOPAS AND LYSIPPOS COMPARED. B15 
referred to Skopas.t. Here again the Skopaic group of Graef has been 
broken by P. Gardner’ and others, ane the Meleager, like the Herakles, 
has been given to Lysippos. 
Let us analyze a little further bie the difference between the 
closely allied art of Skopas and Lysippos lies. We saw that it was 
chiefly the formation of the eye and its surroundings which character- 
ized Skopaic work—the depth of the 
balls in their sockets, and the heavy 
masses of flesh above the outer cor- 
ners. This was in harmony with 
the breadth of brow and the mas- 
sive build of the Tegea heads. In 
the Agias and similar works the 
treatment of the eye is somewhat 
different. The head of the Agias 
is of slighter proportions than the 
heads from ‘Tegea; in conformity 
with the Lysippan canon it is below 
life-size, and consequently has no 
such heavy overshadowing of the 
outer corners of the eyes. More- 
Over, as we shall see, this over- 
shadowing is also relatively less in 
the statue of the Delphian athlete. 
The formation of the eye is thus 
described by E. A. Gardner: 
“The inner corners of the eye are 
set very deep in the head and very 
close together; the inner corners of the 
eye-sockets form acute angles, running 
up close to one another and leaving be- Fic. 77.— Torso of the so-called

base of the nose; thus they offer a strong Cambridge, U. S. A. 
contrast to the line of the brow, arch- 
ing away in a broad curve from the solid base of the nose and forming an 
obtuse angle with it, such as we see in the Skopaic heads.’ 

The resultant expression is therefore somewhat differerent from that 
of the heads from Tegea; while we still see animation and even inten- 
sity in the face of the 4gias, we see it in a modified degree. ‘The far- 
away look of the Tegea heads is still present, but it appears to be fixed 
on a nearer object, and so the look of intensity is tempered; it is also 
lightened by the fact that the overshadowing of the eyes at the outer 
corners is less heavy. But even this latter so-called Skopaic trait, though
