Seignobos, Charles, 1854-1942

"History Of Ancient Civilization"

This amounts to the same as saying we know nothing of it.

FOOTNOTES:
[81] The moderns have called this time the Age of Pericles, because
Pericles was then governing and was the friend of many of these artists;
but the ancients never employed the phrase.
[82] See Aristophanes' "Clouds."
[83] The "Memorabilia" and "Apologia."
[84] Because Plato had lectured in the gardens of a certain Academus.
[85] Because Aristotle had given instruction while moving about. [Or
rather from a favorite walk (Peripatus) in the Lyceum.--ED.]
[86] The Greek word for temple signifies "dwelling."
[87] But not by a square opening in the roof as formerly supposed.--ED.
See Gardner, "Ancient Athens," N.Y., 1902, p. 268.
[88] The Parthenon contained vases of gold and silver, a crown of gold,
shields, helmets, swords, serpents of gold, an ivory table, eighteen
couches, and quivers of ivory.
[89] Boutmy, "Philosophie de l'Architecture en Grece."
[90] The most noted are the Parthenon at Athens and the temple of
Poseidon at Paestum, in south Italy.
[91] Knights and other subjects were also shown.
