Summary
| Description |
English: A reconstruction of the Temple of Assus. On the coast of Asia Minor, the most extensive series of archaic decorative sculptures which has come down to us is that which adorned this temple. These were placed in a unique position on the temple, a long frieze running along the entablature, with representations of wild animals, of centaurs, of Hercules seizing Achelous, and of men feasting, scene succeeding scene without much order or method. |
