" This is an interesting allusion to cotton, which the Greeks em- ployed in their thinner draperies. " And right oppo- site to the maiden, " continues Tatius, " from below, the great sea-monster is coming up, scattering the waves on either side of him. " Then follows a real- istic description of the dragon, with his scales, ridges, and fins, and twisting tail. " Long and wide were his jaws, which opened right back to where his shoulders joined, and then came his stomach at once. " A formidable ...beast, surely; and one admirably adapted to his work of consuming human victims. Then comes the climax of the scene. " Be- tween the monster and the maiden Perseus was painted, descending upon the monster all naked except for a cloak upon his shoulders, and sandals on his two feet like unto wings, and a cap covered his head ; . .. In his left hand he grasped the Gorgon's head and held it before him like a shield. Fearful it is even in colours, . . . This was the weapon Perseus 222 Classic flDptbs in art held in his left hand ; and his right hand was armed with a two-bladed weapon.
