calleJ Aphrodite by Helbig (Fiihrer, No. 919) and Furtwaengler
(Meisterwerke, p. 99).
1830. (Plate XT.) Head of a poet (so-called Anacreon).
Bearded head, with curling beard and prominent brows,
crowned with an ivy wreath. The head, which was
anciently fitted into a socket, is now mounted as a
terminal bust. The general character of the head re-
sembles that of a seated statue of a poet, formerly in the
Villa Borghese, and now at Ny-Carlsberg, which was
long known as Anacreon. The true type of Anacreon
has, however, been ascertained from an inscribed bust
found at Rome in 1884, and the name must be abandoned
for heads such as the present example.—From the Appian
Way, Home.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 6| inches. Restored: terminal bust.
Bought of Castellani, 1873. Graco-JRoman Guide, I., No. 50 ;
Bernoulli, Griech. Ikonographie, I., p. 83. For the true Ana-
creon, see Bull. d. Comm. Arch. Com., 1884, pi. 2; Jahrbuch des
Arch. Inst., 1892, pi. 3 ; Bernoulli, /. c, pi. 8, p. 79. For the
seated figure, see Brunn, Denkmaeler, No. 477, and Bull. d. Comm.
Arch. Com., I. c.
1831. (Plate XII.) Sophocles (?). Head of an uncertain poet,
with a (modern) mounting as a terminal bust. The head
is bearded, with flowing hair confined by a fillet, which is
the usual mark of a poet. The type of which this is an
example is clearly independent of the accepted type of
Homer, represented b}7 No. 1825. It is not, however,
without some suggestion of the Homer type. Hence it
has been suggested that this bust may either represent
an earlier and independent type of Homer, before the
accepted representation had been worked out, or that it
may be an ideal portrait of Hesiod. It appears, however,
