| 8 | THE LION GATE, MYCENÆ | 30 |
| From a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens. Showing the sculpture and masonry of prehistoric Greece. See p. 29 |
| 9 | VAPHIO CUPS | 32 |
| Collotype plate, from the facsimiles in the British Museum, First Vase Room, Case B. Two gold cups found on Spartan territory. The design is in relief beaten up from the back. One shows the trapping of wild cattle, the other tame cattle going to pasture. The vessels are about the size of the modern teacup. See p. 30 |
| 10 | INLAID DAGGER-BLADES | 34 |
| Collotype plate, from the electrotypes in the British Museum, as Plate 9. They show the dress and weapons of Ægean folk. All but the blade is a restoration. See p. 30 |
| 11 | WARRIOR VASE, BLACK STEATITE (Fig. 1) | 38 |
| These vases were originally covered with gold-leaf. The subjects have not yet been completely explained. Probably the whole vase deals with athletic combats: running and leaping on the top zone, bullfighting on the second, and boxing on the third and fourth |
| 11 | FRAGMENT OF SILVER VASE (Fig. 2) |
| Collotype plate, from the facsimiles in the British Museum, as Plate 9. See p. 38. The subject is the siege of a city.

| Collotype plate, from a photograph by Hanfstaengl of the original at Munich |
| 17 | THE “STRANGFORD APOLLO” | 74 |
| From a photograph by Mansell & Co. of the original in the Archaic Room, British Museum. These three figures may indicate the progress of early Greek sculpture in expressing the human figure. There is little ground for calling these figures “Apollo.” They may equally well be human athletes |
| 18 | HEAD OF APOLLO, FROM THE WESTERN PEDIMENT, OLYMPIA | 76 |
| Collotype plate, from a photograph by the English Photo Co., Athens, of the marble at Olympia. See p. 70 |
| 19 | THE “DISCOBOLUS” OF MYRON (Fig. 1) | 80 |

| 19 | THE “DIADUMENUS” OF POLYCLEITUS (Fig. 2) |
| From a photograph by Mansell & Co. He is binding the victor’s garland round his forehead. This is, perhaps, the best of several copies made from the famous original, but it is much restored and probably not a very faithful copy |
| 20 | THE “DORYPHORUS” OF POLYCLEITUS (Fig. 1) | 82 |
| From a photograph by Brogi |
| 20 | THE “APOXYOMENUS” (Fig. 2) |

| 23 | RUNNING GIRL | 90 |

| Collotype plate, from a photograph of the originals in the British Museum, Second Vase Room, Case 8, A 1430, and Case 16, B 29. The style of these vases may be distinguished by the purple tones of the colouring and the Oriental character of the designs. See Vase Plate, Fig. 1, and p. 105 |
