61. STATUETTE OF AnLEWry-y (pi. 40).
H. -65 m. Pentelic marble. Restored: nose, portion of lips, 1. hand and
wrist, with portion of corn-stalks, r. hand and cup, most of legs, feet, upper part of
-drapery behind; plinth and lower part of support.
A youthful deity is represented standing with weight on his r., where
a tree-stump with a pan-pipe carved upon it serves as a support; he
bears a sheaf of corn-stalks in his 1. hand. The hair is confined by a fillet,
and the front curls, which are deeply under-cut, fall to each side, framing
the head in a way that recalls the Vatican Ganymede (Helbig", 386) and
the so-called Eubouleus (see on JAM. 1). Over the shoulders
a hangs down the back and 1. side. The forms of the body and
of the face, which is a high oval, are full. Helbig follows O. Kern
(A<r. rz'A) and describes the figure as Triptolemus; and since Pliny (77. TV
xxxiv. 77) attributes to Euphranor -HWKAzrrawz Z?072z' TYwzAM
-sAzzlsAra .syVzw/z <3<r A72<?7M, we may infer that the type
was used in Rome to represent Bonus Eventus (cf. coins of Hadrian,
and a gem in the British Museum, C<?/. 929).
Found in 1876 in the grounds of the Villa Aldobrandini.

6ia. RELIEF WITH HEAD OF ZEUS (pi. 40).
H. .30 m., Br. -40 m. Luna marble. Unrestored.
The god is crowned with a wreath of olive leaves and olive berries;
this symbol, considered together with the breadth of the forms, the treat-
ment of the eyebrow-bone and of the hair, the beard combed back to show
the outline of the chin, and the half-open lips would seem to point at first
sight to a late reproduction of the Zeus Olympios of Pheidias. But on
comparing this head with coins that reproduce the Pheidian Zeus (e. g.
A*. J7. CozM, Peloponnesus, pi. xiii. 8) we become aware of the widely
divergent character of the two. In this fragment two curls over the
forehead seem to preserve the style of metal work, otherwise the hair of
both beard and head is treated more freely than in the coins, and the
eyebrow is indicated in a naturalistic manner, while the pupil of, the
eye is faintly oulined as in works of the second century A. D. The nose,
moreover, is strongly aquiline, and this, together with the fact that the
expression is quite different from that of the Pheidian Zeus on the coins,
suggests that the fragment, if a genuine antique, may represent the statue
of Zeus dedicated by Hadrian in the Olympieum at Athens: the work
seems to be of that date, but more probably the whole is modern work
based on some Greek coin.
