[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 943311, member: 649"][USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] Since I can't post photos from my own files in our convo about Telemachus vs. Castor, I shall summarize here. The piece from William Tassie's catalog: [ATTACH=full]203258[/ATTACH] The webpage on it: [ATTACH=full]203259[/ATTACH] The text, identifying it as a head of Castor: [ATTACH=full]203260[/ATTACH] Poniatowski's "Head of Telemachus": [ATTACH=full]203268[/ATTACH] There are quite a few Telemachus items in the Poniatowski collection and all but the one above show T in tableaux with others such as Ulysses, Minerva, and Amphinomus. In the tableaux pieces, T looks very like the profile above. But gorgeous youths in piloses seemed to abound during that time, LOL. There are a lot of "youth in pilos" in the pottery section of the CARC website. And lastly, my cameo: [ATTACH=full]203270[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
