Sculptures from Cyzicus

Abstract

In the present paucity of archaic sculpture from Northern Asia Minor (from Cyzicus we have only the beautiful fragment of a chariot relief at Tchinly Kiosk) the much damaged relief of Heracles here reproduced (Plate IV. i) is not without its value. It was discovered during the demolition of the old Armenian Church at Aidinjik, a village about an hour from Cyzicus, on the mainland west of the isthmus: thanks to Mr. Th. Makrys of Panderma, who providentially brought me to the spot, it has now been removed to the safety of the Imperial Museum.
