— Aristogeiton and Harmodius (F), a famous group, perhaps copied from the original work by Antenor at the Acropolis of Athens, carried away by Xerxes, 480 B.C., or from that by Kritios, which replaced it; both statues have been partially restored. Returning to the S. end of the Hall of the Balbi, we turn to the rt. into a series of haUs parallel to it. Hall of ApoUo (D 4).— To the 1., statues of Apollo ; one of Apollo Musa- (jetesj in green basalt ; Apollo in the act Route 1. — Naples: Museum; ...of repose, bends his right artn grace- fully over his head, ana suspends his lyre with the left.— Statues of Ceres. — Statues of Jupiter. — On the rt.. Statues of Diana ; the Ephesian Diana^ in orien- tal alabaster, with the head, hands, and feet of bronze. The characteristic em- blems of the Dea Matrix, whence arose the epithet of mvltimammea, are well preserved. The head is backed by a solid glory with eight chimseras, and there are three lions on each arm. On the neck are various zodiacal signs, witli four winged female figures, sup- posed to typify the seasons.
