Dancers of Delphi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dancers of Delphi
The Dancers of Delphi, also knowen as the Acanthus Column, are three figures in high relief on top of an acanthus column found near the sanctuary of Pythian Apollo at Delphi. They are on display in the Delphi Archaeological Museum and were the inspiration for the first of Claude Debussy's ''Préludes''. == Description ==
The fragments were uncovered between May and July 1894 on the terraces to the east and northeast of the Temple of Apollo.〔First mention of the discovery : (''BCH'' 18 (1894), p. 180 ). First publication : Th. Homolle, « Les danseuses de Caryatis et la colonne d'acanthe », (''BCH'' 21 (1897), p. 603-614 ). Croissant & Marcadé, ''op. cit.'', p. 87.〕 The excavators rapidly reconstituted a column of around 13 metres, made up of five drums and a capital decorated with acanthus and surmounted by an extension of the stem with three female figures standing 1.95 metres high,〔Boardman ''op. cit.'', pl. 15.〕 wearing chitoniskoi (short tunics) and carrying kalathoi.〔Originally a measure of grain, the ''kalathos'' became associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries and was worn on the heads of gods such as Demeter and Sarapis.〕 Their bare feet are suspended in the air and their arms are raised, making them look like dancers, which is how the column gets its name. The fastenings at the top of the capital and the concave shape of the upper surface of the column drum at the level of the dancers' heads〔Croissant & Marcadé, ''op. cit.'', p. 86.〕 suggests that the whole ensemble supported a colossal tripod (probably made of bronze) with its feet standing on top of the column and framing the heads of each of the dancers.〔Pasquier, ''op. cit.'', p. 85.〕
