REPRESENTATION OF MARINE DEITIES. 401

w hich Thetis is represented bringing a spear, and the Nereids different
portions of the divine armour to Achilles.1

The same subject is treated in the same manner on many sar-
cophagi,2 and on gems, terracottas, Pra:nestine mirrors, Pompeian
paintings, and mosaic floors. Nor is it only in works of classical
antiquity that the influence of Scopas is clearly seen. It may be
traced in Raphael's fresco of Galatea in the Farnesini at Rome, in the
Caracci frescoes of the Pal. Farnese, and in many other works of the
Italian school.
