In many works of ancient art theyare represented growing from his ancles, as if theywere a part of his bodily frame ; but more fre-quently they are attached to him as a part of hisdress, agreeably to the description of the poets(Horn. II. xxiv. 340, Od. v. 44; Virg. Aen. ) ; and this is commonly done by representinghim with sandals, which have wings fastened tothem on each side over the ancles. But there is amost beautiful bronze statue of this divinity in the. TALUS. museum at Naples, in which the artist, instead ofthe sole of a sandal, has made the straps unite in arosette under the middle of the foot (see the wood-cut), evidently intending by this elegant device torepresent the messenger of the gods as bornethrough space without touching the ground. Besides Mercury the artists of antiquity alsorepresented Perseus as wearing winged sandals(Mon. Matth. iii. 28 ; Inghirami, Vasi Fittili, 70, iv. tav. 166) ; because he put on thoseof Mercury, when he went on his aerial voyageto the rescue of Andromeda. (Ovid. Met. —677 ; Hes. Scut. 216—220 ; Eratosth. ; Hygin. Poet. Astron. ii. 12.) The same ap-pendage was ascribed to Minerva, according toone view of her origin, viz. as the daughter ofPallas. (Cic. de Nat.
