Note (return) — THE TEMPLE ON THE ACROPOLIS BURNT BY THE PERSIANS.

If we turn to the reproductions of the Lysikrates frieze in the common manuals of Greek sculpture, we find that the group (V¹) has exchanged places with the next group to the right (VI¹) while the corresponding groups on the left side (V, VI) retain their proper position. In order to detect the source of this confusion, we have only to examine the drawings of Stuart and Revett, from which nearly all the subsequent illustrations are more or less directly derived. In the first volume of Stuart and Revett, the groups (V¹, IV¹) occupy plates XIII and XIV, and it is evident that the drawings have been in some way misplaced. These plates have been reproduced on a reduced scale in Meyer's Gesch. d. bildenden Künste 92 (1825); Müller-Wieseler 93 (1854); Overbeck, 94 Plastik³ (1882); W.C. Perry, History of Greek Sculpture 95 (1882); Mrs. L.M. Mitchell, History of Ancient Sculpture; 96 Baumeister, Denkmäler 97 (1887); Harrison and Verrall, Andent Athens 98 (1890), and in all with the same misarrangement.
