His account is confirmedby existing works of art. Thus we find in theMus. Pio-Clement. (vol. iv. pi. 11), Hephaestoswearing an exomis, Avhich is an himation thrownround the body in the way in which this garmentwas always worn, and which clothes the body likean exomis when it is girded round the waist. Thefollowing figure of Charon, on the contrary (takenfrom Stackelberg, Die Grdber der Hellenen, pi. 47),represents the proper x,r^v tTepofjidaxaXos, andwe see a similar dress in the figure of Ulyssesrepresented in the article The exomis was usually worn by slaves andworking people (Phot. s. v. ; Schol. ad 879), whence we find Hephaestos, theworking deity, frequently represented with thisgarment in works of art. (Miiller, Archdol. derKunst, § 366. 6.) The chorus of old men in theLysistrata of Aristophanes (1. 662) wear theexomis ; which is in accordance with the state-ment of Pollux (iv. 118), who says that it was thedress of old men in comic plays. According toGellius (vii. 12), the exomis was the same as thecommon tunic without sleeves (citra humerum de-sinentes) ; but his statement is opposed to the ac-counts of all the Greek grammarians, and is withoutdoubt erroneous.
