anchorage there for ancient galleys. The situation
is, therefore, one likely to have been chosen as a
rendezvous by the Lacedaemonian fleet. (See
Thucydides, viii. 26.) The name of Teichioussa
occurs in the list of Athenian tributaries at the
time of the Pcloponnesian war. (See Bockh,
S.taatshaushaltung, ii. p. 736.) Athenseus (viii.
p. 351 a) notices it as a place inhabited by a mixed

and 7ro?<.ig by Stephanus Byzantius, s. v.; while
the inscriptions already referred to (Lebas, Nos.

doubtless represented Chares himself. Prom the

scription may be about B.C. 520. This figure,
therefore, is probably the most ancient extant
example in Greek art of the elxwv, or portrait-statue,
though several of the earliest Greek sculptors are
said to have made such iconic statues.

Thus Bupalos and Athenis, who are reputed to
have flourished about Olymp. 60, made the extreme
ugliness of the poet Hipponax a subject for carica-
ture. (See Pliny, xxxvi. 5, § 4)
