The series of figures which have the hands by the thighs is older than that in which the hands are raised, and the invention of the type has been assigned to the Cretan Daedalid School of Dipoinos and Skyllis (Furtwaengler, Arch. Zeit., 1882, p. 55). For an enumeration and discussion of the known examples of this series see Overbeck, Gr. Plast., 3rd ed., i., p. 229, note 33; Bull. de Corr. Hellénique, x., p. 67; xi., p. 1; Gaz. Arch., 1886, p. 239; Roscher, Lexicon, i, p. 449; Wolters, No. 14. The second series, here represented by Nos. 206, 207, in which the hands are raised, is developed from the first, but shows a great advance in all respects. Perhaps it gives the Cretan type as developed by artists of the school of Aegina.
200. Figure of Apollo (?) standing with the right leg drawn back, and with the hands pressed against the hips. He has a diadem across the forehead, and the hair falls on the shoulders and down the back.—Naucratis.
Alabaster; height, 10¼ inches.
201. Apollo (?) standing. Torso from the neck to the knees. The right leg is drawn back, and the hands are pressed against the thighs. The hair falls down on the shoulders and on the back.—Naucratis.
Alabaster; height, 4⅜ inches.
202. Apollo. Torso from the neck to the middle of the thighs. The hands are pressed against the thighs. The hair falls on the shoulders and on the back. A belt crosses the body under the right arm, and over the left shoulder.—Temenos of Apollo, Naucratis.
Marble (?); height, 3⅛ inches. Naukratis, I., pl. 1, fig. 9.
The following figures, Nos. 203, 204, belong to the same series, though the type is slightly varied, and No. 203, having been found in the temenos of Aphroditè, probably does not represent Apollo:—
203. Male torso from the neck to the knees. The right hand lies across the breast; the left leg is to the front. The hair is cut square at the back, and in the front falls down on the shoulders.—Temenos of Aphroditè, Naucratis.
Alabaster; height, 6¼ inches. Naukratis, II., pl. 14, fig. 13.
