Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: . . . old Grseco-Italian clans dwelling in round huts of wattled osiers with peaked roofs of thatch. The Spartan building thus brings us in relation with the remotest prehistoric times of Hellas and with the earliest stages of civilization in all parts of the world. This building has evidently undergone many changes during the Roman and Christian periods of its history. The statues of Zeus and Aphrodite, mentioned by Pausanias as standing in the building in his time, were of subsequent date. The linger of the colossal statue found last year, in the immediate vicinity of the statue-pedestal on the central height of the building, manifestly belongs to a period not earlier than the close of the fourth century B. c, and may be Roman. There are other fragments and heads of distinctly Roman workmanship found on the site; while some traces of repairs in the early building itself, as well as most of the additions to it, are of the Roman times. So, too, the inscriptions are of the Roman period. On the other hand the boustropJiedon in 8 Od. xxii. 466 (Schol. ibid. ) makes it the storehouse. It may thus have resembled the drioavpcx;, and hence the bee-hive tomb. Fergdsson, Rude Stone Monuments in all Countrus, London, 1872. 1 Fasti vi. 261 seq. scription found on the same site evidently belongs to the archaic Greek period. It appears beyond a doubt that the circular wall with the orthostatai is of early Hellenic structure. The poros blocks in situ probably also belong to this early Hellenic building. The identification of this edifice with the circular building mentioned by Pausanias is most natural. The masonry of the large stones, without clamps or mortar, points to an age preceding the early historical buildings of the fifth century B. C. . . .
