Forexample, Pausanias states that the Corinthian order wasemployed in the interior of the Temple of Athena Alea atTegea, built by Scopas, to which a date shortly after theyear 394 is assigned. The examples which Ave possess. Fig. 77.—Corinthias Capital from iue of Ltsichates at Athens. are comparatively small works, and in them the orderresembles the Tonic, but with the important exceptionsthat the capital of the column is quite different, that theproportions are altogether a little slenderer, and that theenrichments are somewhat more florid. The capital of the Greek Corinthian order, as seen inthe Choragic Monument of Lysicrates at Athens (Fig. 78)—a comparatively miniature example, but the most perfectwe have—is a work of art of marvellous beauty (Fig. 77).
