202 The Delphic Tripod
art-type traceable to the fifth century B.C. (figs. 142, 143)1 represents
Fig. 142.
1 A fifth-century type of Apollon on the tripod is furnished by a relief in Pentelic
marble (height o-70m, breadth o'6om), now at Athens (Svoronos Ath. Nationalmus.
p. 334 f. pi. 54 = myfig. 142, Stais Marbres et Bronzes : Athenes2 p. 238 f. no. 1389 fig.).
The god rests his feet on a two-stepped base and raises his right hand, which may have
held a phidle or, less probably, some attribute added in paint (bay-branch ?). Before him
stands Artemis leaning on her bow, the string of which was presumably painted. Behind
him stands Leto laying her right hand on the shoulder of her son. The three together
form the personnel of the Athenian Pythion (A. Furtwangler in the Ath. Mitth. 1878 iii.
186 n. 1, Svoronos loc. cit. p. 335). The relief is inscribed [.........] BAKXIOANE-
0HKE, i.e. [6 deiva] Ba/cx'ou avedt)Ke. On it see further Friederichs—Wolters Gipsab-
giisse p. 371 no. 1131, Overbeck Gr. Kunstmyth. Apollon pp. 232, 282 Atlas pi. 20, 16,
A. Furtwangler in Roscher Lex. Myth. i. 458, T. Schreiber ib. i. 600, B. Sauer ib. ii.
1977 fig. 4, Reinach Rip. Reliefs ii. 327 no. 2. The same type, with some variation of
details, occurs on a red-figured vase of the second Hamilton collection (Tischbein
Hamilton Vases i. 96 ff. pi. 28 = my fig. 143, Lenormant—de Witte El. //ion. cer. ii. 142 f.
pi. 46, Overbeck Gr. Kunstmyth. Apollon pp. 232, 326 no. 49, 329 Atlas pi. 22, 7,
Reinach Rep. Vases ii. 286, 2), which shows Apollon on the tripod, with a phidle in his
right and a bow in his left hand, flanked by two females (?Pythia and attendant).
