This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...a very intimate connection with Apollo. The golden eagles of Zeus at Delphi are mentioned by Pindar Pyth., iv. 4) in reference to the oracle, iv6a jrori xpwewv Aios airTu, v irapeSpos. The scholiasts connect these images with the legend that Zeus sent forth one eagle from the east and another from the west to find the centre of the world, and that they met at the oracle of Delphi. 28. Helios, naked, radiate, kneeling right on tunny, holding by the bridle two horses, prancing in opposite directions. W. G. (a), 247-8 grs. PI. I. 24. Brit. Mus. (b), 2484. Berlin, 247-4. Weber, 247-3. Hirsch (c), 247. Lambros in 1885. (a), (I), (c), diff. dies. Engr. Num. Chron., N.S., xvi., PI. VIII. 5. Gardner, Types, PI. X. 3. Hecta. Brit. Mus., 40-2 grs. Noted. Brandis, p. 407. The Sun God appears on the stater radiate, as on coins of Rhodes. He was worshipped at Zeleia, a town on the river Aesepus, and neighbouring to Cyzicus, as Helios (Marquardt, Cyzicus und sein Gebiet, p. 129), and probably also at Cyzicus itself. The subject, as here represented, is very gracefully composed, and has probably, as is suggested by M. Six (Num. Chron., N.S. xvii., p. 170), been copied from a metope of a temple. He observes, "La composition est parfaitement carree." It has, however, been accommodated to suit the requirements of the size and shape of the coin flan, a mode of procedure not uncommon with the artist die-engravers of Cyzicus. Representations of Helios with the chariot are not infrequent upon vases (Lenormant and De Witte, Elite des Mon. Ceram., vol. ii. PL CXI., Cxii.a., CXIIL). 24. Yonng male head to left, with stag's horn. Beneath, tunny left. Athens (a), 247-9 grs. PL I. 25. W. G. (a), 246-8 (Whittall sale, 1884, No. 747), PI. I. 26. Brit. Mus. (b), 247-1. (a), (6), ...
