Archaistic Reliefs*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

On a bien voulu faire à ces quelques notes l' honneur de les insérer dans l' Annuaire de l' École anglaise. Je ne voudrais pas que l' on mesurât à la faiblesse de mesσυμβολαίla gratitude que je dois et que je garde à l' hospitalière maison de Kolonaki. Puissent mes jeunes camarades de l' École française trouver à l' École anglaise des amitiés pareilles à celles que j' y ai faites ! Je ne puis former pour eux de meilleur vœu.

I saw the four reliefs which form the subject of the present study in Turkey; three are in the Museum at Constantinople, and one at Aïdin (Tralles), at which latter place two of them are known to have been found. I publish them together in the hope that they may add some fresh information on the difficult question of Archaistic Reliefs.

I conclude it is owing to an oversight that Engelmann (Roscher's Lexicon, i., p. 1972) states that one of these reliefs was found at Gythion. Only one list of members is complete. The present description is based on M, Foucart's masterly study (Inscrip. du Péloponnèse, No. 163A).

page 165 note § Maurice Albert, Le culte de Castor et Pollux en Italie, describes a Roman lamp with only one figure and that one bearded, but it is impossible to discuss it without a personal examination, and I am tempted to believe that the figure is not one of the Dioscuri. The author further (op. cit., Pl. III.) reproduces a lamp which exists in the Cabinet de France, which, as he states, bears bearded heads of Dioscuri (similar lamp in d' Agincourt, Sculpture antique en terre cuite, Pl. XXIV. 5); but these Dioscuri are really the Cabiri of Samothrace, who were assimilated to the Dioscuri. In proof of this assimilation, compare a lamp in the British Museum (Sloane Collection), which represents Dioscuri heads beardless, but surmounted in the same way by the four-pointed star. The vases quoted by Mr. Frazer (Paus., iii., 616) have no bearing on the question of the Dioscuri.
