They had their special guardian deities, temples, and rites, which survived eveu the introduction of Christianity. To the district festivals belonged especially the Pdgdndlia (q. V. ), the Ambarvdlia (q. V. ), at which the festal procession carefully tra- versed the old boundaries of the district ; and, lastly, the Termindlia (see Terminus).
Painting. Among the Greeks painting developed into an independent art much later than sculpture, though it was used very early for decorative purposes. Thi...s is proved by the evidence of painted vases belonging to the ages of the most primi- tive civilization, and by the mural paintings discovered by Schliemann at Tiryns. The scanty notices in ancient authors respect- ing the first discoveries in this art connect it with historical persons, and not with mythical names, as in the case of sculpture. Thus it is said [by Pliny, N. H. Xxxv 16] that [either Philocles, the Egyptian, or] Cleanthes of Corinth was the first to draw outline sketches ; that Telephones of Sicj'on developed them further ; that Ecphantus of Corinth introduced painting in single tints (monochrome) ; and that Eumarus of Athens (in the second half of the 6th century) distinguished man and woman by giving the one a darker, the other a lighter colour.
