In this manner does the Pompeian art of Genii-paint- ing serve as an immediate stepping-stone to a higher plane of achievement* 42 POMPEII AS AN ART CITY On entering this fresh phase we are at once greeted by the same Genii ; but they are now God- like youths, who skim through the blue heavens bearing torches, like incarnate beams of light, or sit, in the form of their lord and master Eros, by the waterside, and aid the Goddess of Love in her Jishing. Or they pace along in the guise of the Muse...s, or form the retinue of Apollo the Sun God the sun-disc in his hand and a flaming corona about his brow. In proportion as the Genii thus rise towards the level of the high Gods, they give place at the other end of the scale to lesser spirits to that hardy race of elves and water-sprites, the Fauns and Tritons, wild sprigs of Nature ; or there are Bacchantes, cradled in the intoxicating maze of the Dionysian mysteries, and followed by a heavy cavalry of male and female Centaurs, curvetting and prancing in lickerish wantonness ; or Nereids, borne along on foam-crested sea-horses, represent the meaner, older, more mundane deities.
