;THE rOT.OSSItOF MEMNONfATtTHEBES
PhotoTshows^vthe famous" Colossi of..Memnon at;ThebeiXEgypt.i
,'These"colossal landmarks on the west bank of the Nile have\suf-j
fered severely at the hands of time, but they still hold their at
traction associations which cling to
.them, y The figures" are"carved out of pebbly sandstone conglom-j
of _a' yellow brown hue. Both figures represent Amenophis
1111, and they~stood originally before the mortuaryjemple erected:
*by that ancient monarch. They both.stand 64 feet in height, in-:
[eluding the 13 foot pedestaPon which they rest. Memnon, in an- ;
fcient Greek legend, helped the Trojans against the Greeks after
I Hector's"i^itlffTie'lrined^Nestor'ssonVAntilochils, but was hlm i:
fself killed by_ Achilles.Later writers represent an Ethi-
The Greeks gave the Memnon to a
'colossal statue at Thebes in Egypt, which was really that of a
king Amenophis; it gave forth a musical sound at dawn. Ptolemy
. Lathycus besieged Thebes'for three "years, and gave it its death
blow, and the city was then degraded from "the metropolis, and
in Strabo's time it was merely a congeries of villages. Mt the
"present day the glory of Thebes 'consists in its ancidine temples.
Of these the best known are the El Kurna, the Rameseum and
Medinet-Abu Temples, founded by Seti 1., Rameses 11., and Ram
eses 111., respectively. To really understand the beauty of these
famous Greek works of art one must have a thorough knowledge
of Greek mythology for only in that way can the legends that are
told about; them be appreciated. (Herbert Photos. New York, N. Y.)
