Palat 1. 87. 3 Paschal Chronicle, p. 689, edit Bonn. Digitized by Google Chap. m. STATUE OF CONSTANTINE. 841 the favorite superstition of his earlier days may bo traced on still better authority. The Grecian worship of Apollo had been exalted into the Oriental venera- tion of the Sun, as the visible representative of the Deity ; and of all the statues which were introduced from different quarters, none were received with greater honor than those of Apollo. In one part of the city stood the Pyth...ian, in the other the Sminthian deity .^ The Delphic Tripod, which, according to Zosi- mus, contained an image of the god, stood upon the column of the three* twisted serpents, supposed to rep- resent the mythic Python. But on a still loftier, the famous pillar of porphyry, stood an image in statu* of wliich (if we are to credit modern authority ; ^"«*"*^«' and the more modern our authority, the less likely is it to have invented so singular a statement) Constan- tine dared to mingle together the attributes of the Sun, of Christ, and of himself.^ According to one tra- dition, this pillar was based, as it were, on another superstition.
