PHIGALEIAN METOPES.

275

Land seems to be playing on a lyre, which is partly
expressed in relief, and must have been further indicated
in colour. The Gorgoneion suggests Athene, but it is
more likely that it is merely worn as an amulet, and the
figure may be that of a Thracian citharist (cf. Wolters,
p. 301). The dress is nearly the same as that of Orpheus
on the well-known relief in the Villa Albani.—(Zoega,
Bassirel. Ant i., pi. 42).
