PREFACE

Within the limits of this small collection of picturesan attempt is made to bring together as great a varietyof subjects as possible. Portraiture is illustrated in thestatue of Sophocles and the bust of Pericles, genre studiesin the Apoxyomenos and Discobolus, bas-relief workin the panel from the Parthenon frieze and the Orpheusand Eurydice, and ideal heads and statues in the representationsof the divinities. Both the Greek treatmentof the nude and the Greek management of drapery havedue attention.

As classic literature is the best interpreter of Greeksculpture, the text draws freely from such original sourcesas the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Homeric hymns, andOvid's Metamorphoses.
