Marble; height, 1 foot 10 inches; width, 9¼ inches.
514. Right knee of a draped female figure standing to the right.
Marble; height, 10 inches, width, 11 inches. Synopsis, No. 37.
515. Fragment with the upper moulding of a metope, and with a circular object in relief, which has a round depression in the centre. This object has been interpreted as a cymbal held up by a dancing figure. Perhaps, however, it may be a ring from the top of a tripod of Apollo, such as is frequently seen. Cf. Furtwaengler, Bronzen von Olympia, pl. 34.
Marble; height, 4 inches; width, 6 inches. Synopsis, No. 31.
516. Figure of Apollo Kitharoedos? A male figure, wearing the dress of a citharist, with a long tunic falling to the feet, confined by a belt and by bands crossing the breast. The figure also wears a flowing mantle, and has long hair falling on the shoulders. The figure is half turned to the right, and looks back to the left. If the preceding fragment is, as suggested, a part of a tripod, Apollo may be supposed to have been standing beside the Delphic tripod.
Marble; height, 2 feet 7½ inches; width, 1 foot 3 inches. The two main portions of the figure of Apollo, which have only recently been joined, give the height of the metopes. Synopsis, Nos. 36, 38.
517.
This metope, though in a fragmentary state, appears to represent the rape of a woman by a nude male figure. A woman wearing a sleeveless chiton and a mantle, 1.raises her right hand wrapped in the mantle to her head. Of the ravisher we only see the fingers of the right hand grasping the neck of the woman, and a part of his arm below the woman's right elbow, and behind her drapery.
2.
On the second fragment, which may be assumed to belong to the same metope, we see a part of the feet of the woman, the toes of the man's right foot, and doubtful traces of his left foot. He was probably represented as seizing the woman by the neck and the knees.
