Tlie Daily Review Towanda, Pa., Friday, Oct. 28, 1881. EDITORS 8. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N. ALVORD ii t9aity Mteeieic" only 25 cent# per month. Try it, Mr. W. J. Stillman, the art critic, who visited the island of Melos In 1880 on a commission from Sevibncr's Monthly, con tributes to its successor, The Century Magazine , for November, an illustrated paper on "The So-called Venus of Me los," in which he gives his theories of the statue, based on observation and study of the statue and of the site where it was found. A r ter describing the niche at Melos he says : There cannot remain the slighest doubt that the statue had been concealed, and to my mind the circumstances indicated for its concealment are these: The niche, judging from its character had been built iu Roman times; us the uibbly nature of the masonry indicated, probably covered with stucco, as it would have been it in tended for ornament and was designed as an exedra, or as a shelter for an alier, or for the statue of some divinity—Ter minus, Hermes, Pan, or Faunus, the more Roman companion of him Ilere the in scription and the Hermes found lurnish a plausible clew, and agree with the indi cation of the masonry in pointing out the epoch of this conjunction of circumstan ces as subsequent to the second century before Christ; how long after we cannot in any wise indicate. Now, as to tlic epoch of the statue there can be no doubt that it was of the innnediately post-l'hidian epoch; and all the most authoritative opinions attribute it to the Attic school, and probably of the time and school of t-'copas —and some of the weightiest authorities have accepted Scopas himself as the author. Anything more definite than this it is impossible to establish by any known ev idence. The concealment of the statue, then, was several centuries later than the execution of it. The Greeks of the classical epoch, even down to the first century after Christ, re tained amidst all the degradation'of their Cmtempornry.art, a distinct recognition of the excellence of the elder work, as the enormous artistic as well as pecuniary value of some of the masters <1 n'u vre prove. That this wis one o! them, and of one of the chief masters, all civili zation agrees, and although we have lost the name of the author, the people who hid it must have known it, well. The availing themselves of the niche, ready made to their hands, indicates that the possessors of the statue worked in haste, piling up stones in front of the niche,. in stead of walliuir it up. This indicates the haste of impending attack, or work done in secret. In either case, if the statue had a temple in that locality, it would he concealed near it, or near the place where it was accustomed o stand. We may remember the con trast with the colossal and magnificent Hercules found in a drain at Home, care fully covered over with good masonry Concealment was the object in both cases and the greater haste and filltiveness with the Melian statue indicate ratlur that it was brought from a distance than that it could be a divinity of the island. Conjecture as to the origin of the stat ue, if my hypothesis is true, points to Athens, not only because the work'is At tic, but because we know by the coins of Melos, which in all the latest coinages still bear the owl of Athens that Melos belonged to that city as late as she had any Greek allegiance, which must have been some time into the Empire, as the Uomans long made it a policy to preserve a certain kind of autonomy in the Grmk states, even when their subjection was complete That it is Attic, no one can doubt in face of the evidence I shall show. That Athens was the only city likely to send to Melos a treasure of thft kind, concealment of which was impossp in Athens, is by all the circumstances, : made most probable. I conclude that it was one of the mod highly valued statutes of Athens, sent to Melos in time of great danger, to be con cealed and preserved. What perion this might have been is only to be guessed at; it is hardly worth while to say more a bout it, except to indicate that three pe riods in late Athenian history might fur nish the motive requisite: when the ai my of Mithridates, under Archolaus, took Athens; the wars between the factions of Marias and Sylla; and the invasions of the Iconoclasts. The Romans do not appear, in spite of all their plundering, and thr enormous quantity of statues carried away from Greece, to have dese crated the temples of the Greek gods, as we see that Pausanias, in the pentury af ter Christ, found the most valuable of them in situ, as, for instance, the Diana Braurouia of Praxiteles, the Perseus of Myron, with others of great fame. The above considering all the known and reasonably conjeeturable de tails of th ; discovi ry and concealment, saenis to me justifiable,—as well as hat it was concealed at some.time between the century or two centuries before Christ and the tirst century after.
