[1]About one-third of the lantern slides are here reproduced.[2]Montfaucon (L’Antiq. Explic. 1 ii 289) quotes a curious story to the effect that Dionysios, the Tyrant of Syracuse, visiting Epidauros, stole the massive golden beard from the figure of the god. He excused the theft on the ground that it was unseemly for Asklepios to wear a beard when his father Apollo had none![3]Lib. II cap. xxvii § 1.[4]Lib. II cap. xxvii § 5.[5]Modern Painters, V, Part ix, Ch. 5, § 3.[6]An American friend suggests another explanation, viz., that the statue, although “set up by Epidauros,” was paid for and the inscription inspired by Philippos of Pergamos himself. Though St. John, in the Apocalypse (II. 13) speaks unfavourably of that cityὅπου ὁ Σατανᾶς κατοικεῖone feels unwilling to accuse one of its inhabitants of so astute a form of advertising.[7]This slab has accidentally been reversed in the process of reproduction.
