954) In the great Niobe at Florence (according to
Diitschke's examination) are restored nose, part
of upper lip, lower lip, left fore-arm and drapery,
right arm in parts, and places in the drapery.
In the daughter in her protection are restored
right arm, probably the whole of the left arm
and shoulder-blade, left foot, and a part of the
lower part of the left thigh, places in hair as
well as nose and lips. This Niobe is engraved

foot behind the knee upon which he has fallen,
and consequently the statue seems intended to
stand close up against a background. Many of
the other statues present, moreover, agreeable
lines, only when viewed from one single point.
P. 4S1. '-<6) The peculiar and realistic garb of the
barbarian pedagogue; the expression of so
much grief; the site whence the original came,
far-off Kilikia, which was first Hellenized under
the Seleukidae; and the doubt among the an-
cients as to the authorship of the group, — have
roused the query whether the Niobe group in
statuary may not have been a creation of the
Hellenistic age. Milchhbfer, Die Befreiung des
Prometheus, S. 34. Further discoveries and
comparisons will, no doubt, aid in solving this
important and revolutionary problem.

'") A marble head in Florence, bearing an an-
cient inscription " Plato," was long thought to
be the onlv genuine portrait of the great phi-
losopher; but its plainness is hardly in keeping
with the noble, manly beauty, reported to have
been Plato's. A bended head in bronze, in
Naples, and wearing a band about the fore-
head, although having most resemblance to the

archaistic Dionysos heads, has also been called
Plato. A small seated statue, said to be at
present in England, and bearing on the chair
the name " Plato," is thought by many not to
represent the great philosopher, but the poet of
comedy of the same name. Thus we are still
left in the dark as to the features of the great
Plato. Vid. Braun, Ann. d. Inst. 1839, S. 204 ;

Xenophon (Apol. 28) and Plato {Symp. 173 D,
where the expression b uaviKu^ is used) speak
of him as a man of excitable temper.
