scarlet on the figure. Late work.—From the Cyrenaica.

HERACLES.

1725. Heracles reposing. He is seated on a rock partly
covered with the lion's skin, on a moulded plinth; he is
bearded. The head is of the type of No. 1786. He wears
a wreath, formerly having metal leaves in front, and tied
with a fillet. The ends fall on the shoulders. He has
three apples in the right hand, and a club in the left (all
restored). It is more probable that the right hand
originally held a cup, and the type appears to be that
which was by Koinan tradition (Martial, ix., 4-1; Statius,
Silvae, iv., 6) identified with the Heracles Epitrapezios,
made by Lvsippos for Alexander (compare No. 1726).—
