—— —FIGUKES OP APOLLO (?). 83to represent athletes (Paus., viii., 40) and, perhaps, wereplaced on tombs, to represent a deceased person.The series of figures which have the hands by thethighs is older than that in which the hands are raised,and the invention of the type has been assigned to theCretan Daedalid School of Dipoinos and Skyllis (Furtwaengler,Arch.
