Reading edition
“At the end of the seventeenth century, B.C., Asurbanipal’s sculptors at Nineveh were representing horses which the frieze of the Parthenon can hardly equal, and lions which no sculptor has ever surpassed in careful observations and truthful delineation.” The Ancient History of the Near East, p. 536 (by H. R. Hall, London, 1913).
