the feet of Hermes and the head of the infant Dionysos
have been found in the more recent excavations.
Ausgrabungen, III., pll. 6-9 ; G. Treu, Hermes mit dem Dionysos-
knaben, Berlin, 1878.
(K. 3.) One of the metopes from the temple of Zeus,
representing Herakles supporting the heavens on his
shoulders. Atlas holds out to him the golden apples ; one
of the Hesperides stands by. Pausanias in describing this
metope (V. 10, 9) wrongly names the figure supporting the
heavens Atlas. This metope was found in the pronaos
of the temple in 1876.
Ausgrabungen, I., pi. 26 ; Brunn, Berichte d. k. bayer. Akad. d.
Wissen. 1876, p. 320, and 1877, p. 13, fol.
(K. 4.) (Table-case L.) Male right foot, life size, the
original of which is in bronze, and was found at Olympia
during the German excavations. This foot was doubtless
broken off from a statue; it is of a good period of Greek
Art.
