The temple of Nike Apteros stood on a lofty podium, as
may be seen by reference to the model of the Akropolis
(Gr. 11). This basement was crowned by a parapet enriched
with sculpture in high relief and surmounted by a bronze
screen. Twenty-seven fragments of this frieze of the
podium were found on the site, and are engraved in Kekule,
Die Balustrade des Tempels d. Athena Nike, and in the
work of Eoss already referred to. Eecently several
fragments have been found in the course of excavations
at the foot of the Akropolis on the South side, and are
engraved in the new work of Kekule, Eeliefs an der
Balustrade, &c. Of the fragments found on the site of
the temple the following casts are in the Elgin room.
(C. 6.) Two winged Victories about to sacrifice a cow,
which one of them is holding back as it springs forward.
The other Victory leads the way, moving to the right.
Ross, pi. XIII., fig. A ; Kekule, pi. 1, D, and, Reliefs an der Balustrade,
p. 4, pi. I., fig. A ; Overbeek, p. 325, fig. 68a.
(C. 7.) Victory turned to the left stoops forward, raising
her right foot in order to adjust her sandal.
Ross, pi. XIII., fig. B ; Kekule, pi. III., X, and, Reliefs an der Balus-
trade, p. 9, pi. IV., fig. 0 ; Overbeek, p. 325, fig. 686.
(C. 8.) Victory standing turned to the left, the right arm
advanced. The right hand and all the left arm being
broken away, the motive of this figure has not been
ascertained.
Kekule, pi. II., H, and, Reliefs an der Balustrade, pi. IV., fig. M.
(C. 9.) Victory standing turned to the left. Broken off
at the knees.
