Some of these have -been brought together as a special exhibition in Cases 1 -to 5 in the Fifth Room, while others which it has not been -possible to move are referred to in their respective positions. -Many of these antiquities are among the most -valued possessions of the Museum, while others are entirely -lacking in artistic qualities and would scarcely attract -the visitor’s attention, yet placed in their proper -relations they are found to be full of unsuspected interest.</p> - -<p>Investigations of the sites of ancient cities, settlements, -and burial places, especially during the last fifty years, -have brought to light objects of the most varied kinds -which allow us to know, as was never before possible, the -appearance and manner of life, the tools, utensils, weapons, -and toys of the Greeks and Romans. Any one who -will take up an old translation of an author such as the -elder Pliny, Xenophon, or Martial, and compare it with a -modern version will see at once the difference in this particular. -The earlier translator was often at a loss when -confronted with allusions to every-day life and consequently -either did not express clearly the meaning of his -original or even entirely misrepresented it. But quite<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xvi"></a>[xvi]</span> -apart from a correct interpretation of the works of ancient -writers, the study of private antiquities enables us to form -a mental picture of these people and their surroundings, -the actors in the theatre, the citizens gathered in the assembly -or at a religious festival, the houses from which -they came, and the work they left behind; and as a result, -to see the world with their eyes, to comprehend their aims -and actions, and to compare them more intelligently with -our own.</p> - -<p>The greater part of these objects were not very valuable -at the time they were made; they were the ordinary possessions -of ordinary persons. Yet one sees on all sides evidence -of the skill, careful workmanship, and artistic feeling -ungrudgingly spent in making simple, common articles for -every-day use. In our own time the situation is very -different; to the average person beauty and utility have -little or no relation to each other, and he consequently -provides for his home useful and necessary utensils which -have no beauty, and so far as he is able adds “ornaments” -which have no utility and very frequently, it must be said, -no real beauty. Again, the period in which we are living -has not produced any definite style, either in architecture -or in the arts and crafts, though there has been much careful -copying and adapting of earlier ideas; but the products -of Greek and Roman artists and craftsmen have “style,” -not as a result of striving for an effect, but because each -workman received the traditional schooling in his craft and, -having practised it with satisfaction in work well done, -tried to add something to the store of knowledge before -handing it on to the next generation. Such considerations -alone would make the study of the every-day -utensils of classical times a valuable one in the present day.</p> - -<p>No attempt has been made in this handbook to treat the -subject exhaustively; it is intended merely to provide such<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xvii"></a>[xvii]</span> -explanation and commentary as will be helpful toward an -understanding of the antiquities. In consequence the -length of the sections has been determined by the amount -of material available and does not necessarily correspond -to the relative importance of the various subjects.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp46" id="tail-piece-ch0" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/tail-piece-ch0.jpg" alt="" /> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_1"></a>[1]</span></p> - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_2"></a>[2]</span></p> - -<h1>THE DAILY LIFE OF<br /> -THE GREEKS AND ROMANS</h1> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_3"></a>[3]</span></p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="head-band-ch1" style="max-width: 31.25em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/head-band-ch1.jpg" alt="" /> -</div> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="I">I<br /> -RELIGION<br /> -<span class="smaller">CASE 1</span></h2> - -</div> - -<p>The religion of the Greek and Roman peoples was -composed of many elements, and presents throughout -their history a great variety of cults and observances. -Religious tenets were not defined, and no priestly hierarchy -attempted to coerce the people in their beliefs or actions. -A Greek or a Roman was not under the necessity of worshipping -the gods, though he might incur the anger of his -fellow-citizens by outraging their feelings. To the ordinary -man or woman, however, the service of the gods was a -daily duty and each important event of human life had its -appropriate observance. The head of every family was -its priest, and the children his assistants in carrying out -the worship of the divine beings who guarded the house -and fields and all the living creatures therein. Similarly -the great gods of the city were served by the priests and -priestesses appointed to represent the city, conceived of as -one great family. Each city had its recurring festivals, -its rest days sacredly kept, and its days of commemoration -of the dead.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_4"></a>[4]</span></p> - -<p>Public worship in Greece and Italy consisted of prayers -and hymns, and of sacrifices offered both within the temples -and shrines and in other places, such as groves and -springs, which were held to be sacred. The temples were -built and adorned with all possible care, and were the pride -of the community. An amphora -(on the bottom of Case S in the -Fourth Room) decorated with a -religious scene shows a common -type of altar. It is shaped rather -like a pedestal with an architectural -moulding and “horns” on either -side. A miniature terracotta shrine -from Cyprus (on the right side of -the top shelf in Case 1), made for -household use, gives us an idea of -the shape of the larger ones which -held a statue at crossroads and -street corners. Incense, a frequent -accompaniment of worship, was -burned in a covered vessel, often -provided with a high stand, such as -the incense burner painted on a -small oinochoë in Case G in the Fifth Room; or a little altar -was used for the purpose. An example from Cyprus, which -still shows traces of fire, stands on the top shelf of Case 1. -A marble lamp from a temple is in Case G in the Third -Room. It was made to be set in a support, probably a -bronze tripod, and was filled with oil in which a wick floated.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp37" id="figure1" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure1.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 1. PRAYING YOUTH (?)</p> -</div> - -<p>In prayer the worshipper looked upward and raised both -hands. This attitude is perhaps represented in a bronze -statuette, probably a votive offering, in Case D in the Fifth -Room (<a href="#figure1">fig. 1</a>). A small wine-jug (Case 1, middle shelf) is -decorated with a scene no doubt very common in Athens;<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_5"></a>[5]</span> -before a statue of Athena -raised on a low -column stands a man -saluting the goddess by -kissing his fingers and -raising them toward her -(<a href="#figure2">fig. 2</a>).

VOTIVE PLAQUE</p> -</div> - -<p>The universal custom -of offering to a divinity -gifts in supplication and -thanksgiving has many -interesting illustrations in the collection. -A remnant of the ancient -religion of Crete is the die for moulding -miniature bronze axes in Case -B in the First Room. The little -bronze figure of a man carrying a -pig in Case C2 in the Third Room -served as a memorial of a burnt -sacrifice (<a href="#figure3">fig. 3</a>). The terracotta -warriors from Cyprus (Case 1 and -the wall-cases in the corridor), and -the Italic bronze warriors (Case 3 -and Case J in the Third Room) -were probably thank-offerings for a -victorious home-coming. The -group of terracotta figures holding -one another’s hands gives a rude -picture of a ring-dance such as was<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a>[6]</span> -performed in honor of Aphrodite in Cyprus (Case 1, top -shelf). The painted terracotta face above this shelf is an -example of the many little masks -called “oscilla” which were hung by -cords in sanctuaries or on the branches -of trees outside (see <a href="#tail-piece-ch0">tail-piece, p. xvii</a>). -They seem to have been a substitute -for the worshipper when he was -obliged to be away about his daily -occupation. Several other examples -will be found in wall-cases in the -corridor. Fourteen miniature bronze greaves in Case 4 were -probably dedications, perhaps made by soldiers after a battle. -Food and drink were the simplest and commonest gifts, but -were often beyond the means of the worshipper. If this -were true, he gave a representation -in some cheap material of the offering -he wished to make, thus expressing -pressing his good-will. In Case 1 -are three little tables with articles -of food in relief upon the surface. -We see a ham, a whole boar, some -cakes, fruit, and various dishes of -food (<a href="#figure4">fig. 4</a>). Near these tables is -a little tray with several cakes represented -in relief upon it, a substitute -for the cakes which were placed on tables in the -temples, like the shew-bread of the Hebrews. The group -of vases connected by a ring was used for offering small -portions of liquid, probably oil, wine, honey, or milk. -Gratitude for the cure of disease was often exhibited by -dedicating a representation of the affected part. On the -top shelf at the left are terracotta plaques showing eyes, -eyes and mouth, and an ear (<a href="#figure5">fig. 5</a>). Other examples are<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[7]</span> -in Cases 47 and 75 in the Cesnola Collection. The manufacture -and sale of such objects formed an industry in -ancient times, and the records of the temple of Asklepios -at Athens which are still preserved contain long lists of -them.</p> - -<div class="figcenter"> - -<div class="figmulti illowp40" id="figure6" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure6.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 6.

CHARMS OF COLORED GLASS</p> -</div> - -<p>The ceremonies and sacrifices in temples were few compared -to the frequent occasions for private and family -worship. No meal was eaten without offering a portion -of food and drink to the gods, and statuettes and symbols -of divinities were kept in various rooms of the house -and near the house-door. The rude bust of Hermes on a -pillar (Case 1, middle shelf) is of the same type as the -much larger pillars which in Athens were placed near<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_8"></a>[8]</span> -house-doors, in schools, and in the market-place (<a href="#figure6">fig. 6</a>). -It was the mutilation of these images which caused such -consternation immediately before the sailing of Nikias on -the disastrous Sicilian expedition in 415 B.C.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp44" id="figure9" style="max-width: 15.625em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure9.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG 9. LAR</p> -</div> - -<p>An interesting terracotta -relief in Case 4 represents -two warriors clasping -hands (<a href="#figure7">fig. 7</a>). Perhaps it -may be regarded as a votive -offering made to commemorate -a treaty or an -alliance, either of which -with the Greeks and also -the Romans was an agreement -made in the sight of -the gods and accompanied -by sacrifices. Readers of -the Anabasis will remember -the treaty made by the -Greeks and the Persians -after Cyrus’s death (II, ii, -8, 9), when the sword-blades -and spear-heads were dipped -in the blood of the victims -caught in a shield, and the -leaders on both sides gave -their right hands as a pledge of fidelity.</p> - -<p>The superstitious and fearful aspect of ancient religion -is represented by the grotesque faces called apotropaia, -“turners away,” which were thought to avert misfortune. -They were worn especially by children, and large ones of -various materials were often fastened up in workshops and -houses. A number of small examples in glass are in -Case C in the Third Room (<a href="#figure8">fig. 8</a>).</p> - -<p>Perhaps the first divinities we think of when we turn to<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>[9]</span> -the native Roman religion are the Lares, the guardians of -house and field. The Lar was represented as a youth holding -a horn of plenty and a patera, a shallow bowl used in -sacrificing (<a href="#figure9">fig. 9</a>). Two of these figures stood side by side -near the hearth in the principal room of the early Roman -house, but at a later period they were -placed in a little shrine usually adjoining -the atrium. A statuette of -rather careless workmanship stands -on the middle shelf in Case 1 and a -much better example in Case J in the -Eighth Room. A fine statuette of -the Imperial period represents a priest -with his toga drawn up over his head -in preparation for sacrificing, in accordance -with the custom which Virgil -mentions in the Aeneid: “Veil thine -hair with a purple garment for covering, -that no hostile face at thy divine -worship may meet thee amid the holy -fires and make void the omens” (III, -vv. 405ff. Mackail) (Case J in the -Eighth Room, <a href="#figure10">fig. 10</a>). A life-size -statue of a camillus, a boy assistant -at religious rites, is in this room (<a href="#figure11">fig. 11</a>). The office of -camillus was an honorable one bestowed upon the young -sons of distinguished families.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp33" id="figure10" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure10.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 10. ROMAN PRIEST</p> -</div> - -<p>We have several interesting objects related to special -cults. A goddess revered by both Greeks and Romans -was Tyche or Fortuna. A small bronze statuette (Seventh -Room, Case H 2) represents the Fortune of Antioch seated -on a rock, crowned with turrets, and holding in her hand -a sheaf of grain. Fortuna had many temples in Rome, -where she was worshipped under different titles. The<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_10"></a>[10]</span> -popular belief in her power is attested by Caesar, who tells -of the confidence felt by his men in him and in his success -because they believed him to be a favorite of Fortune.

CAMILLUS</p> -</div> - -<p>The worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis gradually -spread from Egypt into Asia Minor and thence into Greece -and Rome. The bronze sistrum or rattle was used in her -rites, and she is often represented holding it in her hand -(Case 1, <a href="#figure14">fig. 14</a>).</p> - -<p>An especially interesting memorial of an Eastern cult -established in Rome is the statuette of Cybele, the Mother -of the Gods, on her processional car drawn by lions (Case -M in the Eighth Room, <a href="#figure12">fig. 12</a>). The worship of Cybele, a<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>[11]</span> -very ancient one, was introduced into Rome during the -Second Punic War at a time of great danger and anxiety. -Our statuette represents not the goddess herself but her -cult statue, and probably commemorates one of the annual -festivals at which the image on its car was taken to the -river Almo to receive a ritual bath. The god-companion -of Cybele, Attis, was not worshipped at Rome before the -time of Claudius, though his cult was diffused over many -parts of the East.

The audience was composed of the -citizens, both men and women, and visitors from other -states and cities. In early times the playwright acted in -his own play, but later the profession of actor was distinct -from that of poet. Women’s parts were taken by men.</p> - -<p>Plays were performed by daylight in the open air, in -theatres so constructed that most of the audience was at a -considerable distance from the actors. These circumstances -naturally had a great effect upon the conventions -of the theatre and the manner of acting, as effects must be -broad, characters must be typical rather than individual, -and facial play was impossible (<a href="#figure17">fig. 17</a>). Early in the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_14"></a>[14]</span> -history of the Greek drama masks for the actors were introduced, -and continued in use for both tragedy and -comedy. They were usually -made of linen stiffened with -clay and painted, though cork -and wood were also used. The -pupils of the eyes were perforated -so that the actor could -see, and the mouth was always -open. In Case 1 are two terracotta -masks, possibly made for -use, one of a satyr (see <a href="#tail-piece-ch2">tail-piece, -p. 18</a>), the other of a -young woman, and two little -masks representing comic characters. -In the same room above Case 4 is a large tragic -mask of marble (<a href="#figure15">fig. 15</a>). This fine piece of decorative -work is modeled after the masks -worn by the heroes of the tragic -stage. Above the tragic mask rose -a projection called onkos which increased -the apparent height of the -wearer. For the same purpose a -shoe with a very thick sole, the -kothornos, was worn; the height of -onkos and kothornos varying with -the importance of the character. -The dress of the tragic actor corresponded -in a general way with -that of every-day life, but the chiton -was long, and the costumes were -frequently bright in color and decorated -elaborately with woven or embroidered bands.</p> - -<div class="figcenter"> - -<div class="figmulti illowp60" id="figure15" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure15.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 15.

ACTOR OF MIMES</p> -</div> - -<p>A group of terracotta statuettes from Athens (Sixth -Room, Case L) gives a vivid picture of the actors of the -Old Comedy, that of Aristophanes and his contemporaries. -By a convention of the stage, all comic actors, even those -who played young women’s parts, were grotesquely padded, -and over the padding male characters wore an elastic -woolen covering much like the modern jersey, which is -represented by dots in the statuettes. -The man’s chiton was always -ridiculously short. Women -wore the long chiton and himation. -On examining these figures we see -that they include certain stock -characters which were used over -and over by playwrights. The figure -on the left hand in the lowest -row represents an old man, probably -an irascible old father. His -mask is made so as to present a -kindly expression on one side and -an angry one on the other. The -actor turned to the audience the -side which expressed his feelings at -the moment.

The younger ones seem to have enjoyed<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_39"></a>[39]</span> -some games which we have relegated to childhood, -such as spinning tops (see <a href="#figure53">fig. 53</a>).

DIAGRAM OF DORIC CHITON</p> -</div> - -<p>Greek dress, both for men and women, consisted -of two portions, a garment for the house and a wrap to be -worn over it.

A short -woolen chiton was the usual dress -for soldiers, workmen, and poor -persons, while the nobles of the -Homeric poems seem to have worn -linen chitons reaching to the feet. -Over this a wrap, either rectangular -or curved on one side, was arranged -in various ways. The -earliest representations show men wearing a wrap with -one curved edge, and apparently doubled like a shawl. -This type of dress may be seen in vase paintings in the -Third Room; for example, the figure of Dionysos on a<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_48"></a>[48]</span> -stamnos (No. GR 564 in Case R), and the same god on a -large amphora (No. 12.198.4) in that case.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="figure59" style="max-width: 31.25em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure59.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 59. AMAZONS IN MEN’S IONIC CHITONS</p> -</div> - -<p>The earliest garment for women which we know of was -a chiton of wool without sewing. This was a large rectangular -piece of cloth considerably wider and longer than the -body. It was folded through the middle lengthwise, so that -one side was closed and the other open. The top, again, -was generally folded over, this hanging portion being -called “apoptygma.” Long pins inserted with the points -upwards, or fibulae (see <a href="#head-band-ch6">head-band, p. 47</a>), were used to -fasten the double edge on the shoulders, and a girdle was -usually worn to hold the edges of the open side in place (<a href="#figure58">fig. -58</a>). If the chiton were still too long, part of the cloth was -drawn up through the girdle into a blouse called “kolpos.” -The heavy woolen chiton may be seen in the drawing of -three nymphs on an amphora (No. GR 549) in Case K in -the Third Room. From these early representations in -art, it seems that clothing for both men and women was at<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_49"></a>[49]</span> -first rather narrow and was often covered with woven or -embroidered patterns (<a href="#figure60">fig. 60</a>).</p> - -<p>During the seventh and sixth centuries the rich and -artistic Ionian cities had a great influence on the customs -of Greece, and from them the ladies of Athens adopted -the linen chiton, which was wider and was sewed on the -sides. The additional width was sometimes used to form -sleeves by catching the two pieces together at the top in -three or four places, with sewing, buttons, or small pins. -Long sleeves sewn in were occasionally worn, but were -exceptional rather than customary, so that artists often -represent barbarians with sleeves to distinguish them from -Greeks. On a kotyle in Case C in the Fifth Room is a -woman wearing a spotted chiton with long, close-fitting -sleeves. At this period men as well as women at times<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_50"></a>[50]</span> -wore the apoptygma and kolpos, but the man’s chiton -was generally short (<a href="#figure59">fig. 59</a>). On two kylikes on the bottom -of Case L in the Fourth Room (Nos. 12.231 and -GR1120) women are represented in the linen chiton (<a href="#figure62">fig. -62</a>). After the Persian Wars, as the result of the strong -reaction against Eastern fashions, -men and women both -adopted the woolen Doric chiton -again, and for men it remained -the universal dress, -being now short and without -apoptygma and kolpos. Still, -the adoption of the Doric chiton -did not imply a violent -change, for working people had -worn it continuously and it was -the usual dress for young girls. -Old men, priests, charioteers, -and officials on public occasions -continued to wear the long -Ionic chiton, and both were in -use by ladies at the same -period. It should be added -that at this time the two types -were often worn together, the -Ionic forming an undergarment -with short sleeves, and -the Doric, a sleeveless gown. -This costume is frequently seen on grave-reliefs, but our -only example is an engraving of a Maenad on a bronze -mirror in Case C in the Sixth Room.</p> - -<div class="figcenter"> - -<div class="figmulti illowp33" id="figure60" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure60.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 60.

In the statue of a -camillus in the Eighth Room the stripes were inlaid in -silver, of which traces remain. Over this was worn the -toga, corresponding to the Greek himation and arranged -in the same general way. The toga, however, was usually -larger than the himation and was semicircular on -the lower edge. For senators, knights, and children it -was ornamented with a broad purple stripe following the -straight edge. Shoes and sandals of various kinds were -in use; a special kind of high shoe called calceus was always -worn with the toga, and the tunic, toga, and calceus -formed the regulation dress for citizens in public.

An article of daily use in ancient times, -though we have no modern utensil to correspond with it, -is the strigil or flesh-scraper (Case 5, <a href="#figure72">fig. 72</a>). It was used -especially by athletes after exercise, to remove the dust and -sand of the wrestling-ground, so that the strigil, oil-flask, -and sponge became in Greece a kind of symbol for the -athlete’s life, which was, practically speaking, the life of -all well-to-do young men. On a gravestone, No. 7 in the -Sculpture Gallery, the dead youth is represented with a -strigil in his hand, while his little slave holds his towel and -oil-flask. Both men and women used strigils in the bath -for scraping off the fuller’s earth or lye powder used as -soap.

A small one was included in -the tomb furniture of an Etruscan woman which is shown -in Case F in the Sixth Room.</p> - -<p>Bronze spatulae were useful in a variety of ways for mixing -and applying the cosmetics which were employed so -constantly by Greek and Roman ladies (<a href="#figure79">fig. 79</a>). An instrument -corresponding to our medicine droppers are the -dipping-rods of bronze or glass. They could be inserted -into bottles or jars to take out a small quantity of liquid. -A disk about half way up the rod kept it from slipping into -the bottle (<a href="#figure80">fig. 80</a>). Examples of both utensils will be -found in Case 5.</p> - -<p>Ancient mirrors were as inferior to the modern in power -to reflect as they are superior in beauty. Disks of highly -polished metal, usually bronze, were employed for this -purpose, for the process of making a mirror by backing a -sheet of glass is not older than the fourteenth century. -Sometimes the mirror consists of a simple disk, plain or -ornamented on one side with an engraving or a design in -relief, or again it is made in one piece with a long handle or -with a short tang to be inserted into a bone or ivory handle, -or it is provided with a ring. The disk is often protected -with a cover which bears the principal decoration. Etruscan -mirrors most frequently have handles but no covers, -and are decorated with engraved scenes, usually taken -from Greek mythology (<a href="#figure82">fig. 82</a>). Greek mirrors are of two -types: either a simple disk without a handle, fitting into a -cover, usually ornamented with a relief (<a href="#figure83">fig. 83</a>), or a disk -supported on a stand, often in the form of a human figure -(<a href="#figure81">fig. 81</a>). In Case A in the Fourth Room are two fine -examples of the latter, two stands from which the mirrors -have been lost, and a mirror with a cover decorated -with a woman’s head in relief. Another charming stand<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_67"></a>[67]</span> -of Etruscan workmanship is in Case H in the Third Room. -In Case A in the Fifth Room are four very beautiful Greek -mirrors of the fourth century, and in Case C in the Sixth -Room are examples of both Greek and Etruscan types.

In Greece, many dinners were given by -men to their friends, followed by the symposium, at which -the guests drank wine mixed with water, told jests, sang, -and often watched hired performers, such as jugglers, -tumblers, and dancers. A kylix in Case E in the Fourth -Room is decorated with a scene from a symposium (<a href="#figure84">fig. 84</a>). -The special game for this occasion was “kottabos,” which -was played with the aid of a bronze contrivance like a -candelabrum, of which an example stands in the Fifth -Room (<a href="#figure85">fig. 85</a>). The players held their cups by one -handle and tried to throw a small quantity of liquid on the -bronze disk at the top of the shaft, so that it fell down with -a ringing sound. The game was also played by throwing -the liquid into nutshells or small saucers floating in a -krater full of water, so as to make them sink. Many -games of chance were known to the Greeks and Romans. -Perhaps the most popular were those played with the -knucklebones (astragaloi) of sheep and goats. They<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_69"></a>[69]</span> -could be used like dice, and also like “jacks,” being thrown -up and caught on the back of the hand.

The knob on the cover of the box is appropriately -made in the same form. Nine very small examples of glass -are in Case 1 (<a href="#figure86">fig. 86</a>). The invention of draughts was -ascribed to Palamedes, one of the heroes of the Trojan War, -a story which at least proves that they were played in -Greece in very early times. Nuts and coins were also used -as counters in various games, and games of dice were -played in various ways. Astragals could be used as dice, -and had the advantage of needing no marks, as the sides -were naturally different.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="figure84" style="max-width: 31.25em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure84.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 84.

The -flute furnished music -for dancers, and in -Rome it was played at -funerals. Meals were served and work such as the kneading -of bread in bakeries was done to its music. Flute-cases -are often represented in interior scenes in Greek vase<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_73"></a>[73]</span> -paintings, as on the inside of a kylix in Case O in the -Fourth Room, showing a boy playing the lyre, and on a -lekythos in Case K in that room where a woman is playing -the same instrument. Another instrument was the -syrinx or Pan’s pipe, made of reeds arranged in graduated -lengths, fastened together with cords and wax. It was -especially the shepherd’s companion in his long, solitary -days with his flocks. The little faun which forms the -pendant of the bracelet in Case K 2 in the Seventh Room -is playing the syrinx. Cymbals were used principally at -religious ceremonies of an orgiastic type. There are two -pairs in the collection, one being marked with the owner’s -name, Kallisthenia (Case 5 and Case C 2 in the Sixth -Room). Dancing formed a part of worship in ancient -times. The rude clay groups of men and women dancing<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_74"></a>[74]</span> -in a ring illustrate a feature of the worship of Aphrodite -in Cyprus (Case 1). In Greece boys were taught the exercises -preliminary to a dancer’s training as a part of their -physical education, and the -many public festivals gave opportunity -for large numbers to -progress further. Professional -dancers, both boys and girls, -were employed to furnish entertainment -at symposia. On a -kylix on the bottom of Case L -in the Fourth Room is a girl -dancing and playing the castanets, -while a young man looks -on (<a href="#figure89">fig. 89</a>). Women of good -family danced at home for -amusement, and at domestic -festivals. The character of -Greek dancing was largely -mimetic, the movements of the -arms and the use of the drapery being very important -(see <a href="#tail-piece-ch7">tail-piece, p. 75</a>). The terracotta dancers in Case L in -the Seventh Room and another in Case 1 are good illustrations -of this (<a href="#figure91">figs. 91-92</a>). The Romans in early times -practised religious dancing. The processions of the Salii -or priests of Mars, and of the Arval Brothers are the best-known -examples of such ritual performances. Dancing as -an amusement, however, they adopted from the Greeks -in its period of decadence, and consequently the sterner -moralists opposed it. Under the early Empire it nevertheless -grew very fashionable. Girls and women of noble -family learned to dance as an accomplishment, and even -men of high rank danced, though at the cost of their dignity. -Professional dancers were greatly sought after and admired.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_75"></a>[75]</span></p> - -<div class="figcenter"> - -<div class="figmulti illowp46" id="figure91" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure91.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 91.

Greek shields were usually circular -or oval in shape, and made of wooden frames covered -with hides and reinforced with bronze. The rim and a -large boss in the center were the most essential metal -parts, but the entire surface might be covered with bronze, -or plates of various forms arranged upon it. The -large bronze plates in Case 5 and -in Case B in the Second Room -seem to have been parts of shields. -When using the shield as a defense -the warrior thrust his left -arm through the Loops in the inside, -one of which was close to the rim -at the left and another usually -near the center of the shield; he -held a third, which probably -was stouter than the others, in his -hand. The loops on the rim are shown in a painting on -the amphora which stands on the pedestal in the Fifth -Room, as well as the strap extending from side to side by -which it was suspended around the wearer’s neck on the -march (<a href="#figure103">fig. 103</a>). The Dodona warrior carries the so-called -Boeotian shield which has depressions in the middle -of each side. Various explanations are given of the -origin of this form; a probable one is that it results from -stretching a hide over an oval frame on which the top and -bottom were fastened firmly while the sides were left free -and were naturally drawn in by the pull from both ends. -Another possibility is that the shield was cut out at the -sides to provide peep-holes. Roman shields were rectangular -and curved around at the sides to protect the wearer’s -body. Only the boss and the rim were made of metal. -The shield of the Greek soldier bore the device of his state, -as the Koppa of Corinth, which was painted on the shields -of her citizen-warriors; and the Roman soldier carried the -sign of his legion in the same fashion. Interesting devices, -frequently animals’ heads, were adopted like coats of arms<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_85"></a>[85]</span> -by Greek nobles, and many of these can be seen on vases -of the sixth century. An amphora on the bottom of Case -4 shows shields decorated with the heads of a bull and a -boar.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp64" id="figure111" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/figure111.jpg" alt="" /> - <p class="caption">FIG. 111. AMAZON WITH BATTLE-AXE AND WICKER SHIELD</p> -</div> - -<p>The ancient warrior’s weapons were the dagger, sword, -spear, javelin, bow, and sling. The weapons in the Classical -Collection cannot -strictly be called Greek -or Roman because -they were made at a -remote period before -the Greek and Roman -states came into existence, -but they are interesting -in that they -show the types from -which later weapons -were developed, and -often there is very little -difference between -the early types and -their descendants. The -oldest cutting weapons are the bronze dagger-blades -from Cyprus, and those from Crete in Case D 2 in the -First Room. They were fitted into wooden or bone -handles. A Cretan dagger-blade with an engraved design -still holds the three dowels which fastened the haft. The -tangs of the Cypriote blades are prolonged or hooked to -prevent the blade from loosening in its socket (<a href="#figure107">figs. 107-108</a>). -Spear-heads also were at first made to be inserted -in the shaft, but later fitted over it. They have a slit on -one side of the socket, probably to give elasticity (<a href="#figure105">figs. -105-106</a>). The bronze butt-spikes were used to fix the -spear in the ground during halts. Examples of these<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_86"></a>[86]</span> -weapons are in Case 4 and the wall-cases in the corridor.</p> - -<p>The swords in the collection date from the Bronze or -early Iron Age and so are pre-classical. The fine bronze -sword (Case 4, No. 1460) belongs to an early Italian type -(<a href="#figure109">fig. 109</a>), and the sword and sheath (No. 1461 in Case A -in the Second Room) is also Italian. An iron sword from -Cyprus (No. 1462 in the corridor) preserves the form of the -bronze swords of the late Mycenaean period, as the early -iron-workers at first imitated the shapes of bronze weapons. -The pin in the shape of a sword illustrates the type -in use during the fifth century in Greece (Case 4). The -machaira which Xenophon often mentions had a curved -blade and was especially useful as a cutting weapon for -cavalry. A good illustration of this shape may be seen -in a painting on an amphora in Case N in the Fourth Room -representing a Greek and a Persian fighting. The Persian -holds a machaira ready for the down-stroke (<a href="#figure104">fig. 104</a>). -Roman swords were broad and flat. They were designed -for thrusting, and were carried by common soldiers and -officers.</p> - -<p>The foot-soldier wearing helmet, cuirass, and greaves, -and armed with sword, spear, and shield, that is, the -familiar hoplite and legionary, formed the most important -part of the Greek and Roman armies. Cavalry and light-armed -infantry, however, who used the javelin, the bow, -or the sling, became gradually more prominent as their -importance was perceived in the wars with Eastern peoples -and barbarous tribes. The use of the bow and the sling -was taught in the palaistra at Athens, as a practical training -for warfare, but ability in this direction was not rated -very highly. Certain nations were especially skilful with -these weapons and served as mercenaries to other states; -both Xenophon and Caesar mention the Cretan archers, -and Caesar speaks of slingers from the Balearic Isles who<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_87"></a>[87]</span> -served under him in Gaul. The arrow-heads exhibited -are Cypriote, but No. 4786 is Hellenic in type (Case 4, -<a href="#figure110">fig. 110</a>).</p> - -<p>Greek artists frequently represented the Amazons of -legend in a dress similar to that of the Persians of their own -day, and from such paintings -on vases in the collection -we find illustrations of -various articles of dress -and of weapons mentioned -by Xenophon. On a polychrome -lekythos in Case -M in the Fourth Room is -an Amazon shooting with -a sling. Two spears are -stuck in the ground beside -her. An oinochoë in Case -K in the Fifth Room shows -three Amazons in their long -trousers and tight-fitting -sleeves covered with a pattern. -One of them carries a battle-axe and two hold -shields of plaited wicker-work, probably of the same sort -as those which furnished fuel to cook the Greek soldiers’ -breakfast on the morning after the battle of Cunaxa -(Anabasis II, 1, 6) (<a href="#figure111">fig. 111</a>).

In it ground-wrestling -and hitting were allowed. Two scenes from the -pankration are represented on a skyphos in Case 4. On -one side the winner has thrown his opponent backward -and is about to strike him, while the other holds up his -hand, probably as a signal of defeat (<a href="#figure116">fig. 116</a>). On the -other side the combatants have their hands covered with -the thongs which served as boxing-gloves. The man on -the ground has thrown the other by a neck-hold (see <a href="#head-band-ch9">head-band, -p. 89</a>).

At the Panathenaea the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_97"></a>[97]</span> -prizes were jars of oil in greater or less numbers, and the -painted vases known as Panathenaic amphorai.

They bear on one -side a picture of the contest in which the vase was won, -and on the other, the figure of Athena with an inscription, -“From the games at Athens” (<a href="#figure118">fig. 118</a>). When the prize -took the form of a wreath, the victor first bound a fillet or -band of wool around his head and upon this the official in -charge of the games placed the wreath. The act of tying -the fillet was often represented by Greek sculptors; the -most famous example is, of course, the Polykleitan statue -known as the Diadoumenos, of which a cast stands in -Gallery 22. The beautiful bronze statuette in Case D in -the Sixth Room has the same motive (<a href="#figure119">fig. 119</a>), and on the -psykter in Case 4 a boy who holds in his hands the palms -signifying victory is being crowned by an official.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp46" id="tail-piece-ch9" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/tail-piece-ch9.jpg" alt="" /> -</div> - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_98"></a>[98]</span></p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="head-band-ch10" style="max-width: 31.25em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/head-band-ch10.jpg" alt="" /> -</div> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="X">X<br /> -RACES AND RIDING<br /> -<span class="smaller">CASE 5</span></h2> - -</div> - -<p>In the Homeric period cavalry was not employed in -battle, but princes and nobles drove about the field in -chariots from which they descended to fight.
