GREEK PORTRAIT HEADS.
139
between the shoulders, so as to appear almost deformed.
The head is slightly turned to its right, arid the look is
directed upwards ; the shoulders are draped. This head
has been called Diogenes, on account of a supposed
similarity of the pose to that of a statuette in the Villa
Albani, conjecturally thus named. There is, however,
no resemblance in the features. On the same ground of a
supposed resemblance in the pose, it has been compared
with a bust, formerly in the Farnese Collection, inscribed
with the name of Carneades. It has, however, a more
convincing likeness to a bust on the coins of Soli. This
is called alternatively Aratus or Chrysippus, but prefer-
ably Aratus, the poet of Astronomy.—Payne Knight
Bequest, 1824.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 5J inches. Restored : nose, upper lip, and
chin. J/us. Marbles, XI., pi. 19 ; Ellis, Town. Gall, II., p. 11
(= Vaux, Handbook, p. 202); Mausell, No. 1191; Grceco-Roman
Guide, I., No. 65 ; Christ, Griech. Litteratur (in I. v. Miiller's
Handbuch, VII.), fig. 25 (Chrysippus) ; Bernoulli, Griech. Ikono-
graphie, II., p. 150.
For the coin of Soli, see Imhoof-Blumer, Journ. of Hellenic Studies
XVIII., pi. 12, No. 17; Cat. of Greek Coins in B.M., Cilicia,
pi. 27, No. 4; Bernoulli, op. cit., Munztaf. 2, No. 11.
Gercke, Arch. Anzeiger, 1890, p. 56, classes this head with the Hippo-
crates (?), No. 1836, and calls it Chrysippus. It was also thus
classed by Payne Knight, who called it Hippocrates (Ellis, Town.
Gall., II., p. 11), and it is therefore the head cited by Bernoulli,
op. cit., I., p. 169.
1847. (Plate XII.) Bust, formerly called Aratus. This bust
represents an elderly man, the head slightly turned to his
left, the lips parted. The hair is short over the forehead
and set back over the temples. The beard is thick and
curling. This bust has been attributed to Aratus, but
on no sufficient grounds.—Towneley Coll.
Italian marble. Height, 1 foot 9J inches. Restored: bust. Mus.
Marbles, XI., pi. 21; Ellis, Town. Gall., II., p. 16 (= Vaux, Hand-
book, p. 202); Grwco-Roman Guide, I., No. 67 ; Bernoulli, Griech.
