Légende

The ancient Greeks represented here are, from left to right: a Greek in traveling clothes, two women, a king, a bridal couple, a female basket-bearer at a sacrificial festival, and a priestess of the goddess Ceres. Note that at the great Athenian festival in honor of Athena, the Panathenaic Festival, the honored position of basket bearer was given to unmarried young women, who were known as Kanephoros (also spelled Canephorae). Caryatids, columns in the shape of women with the column capitals on their heads, were based on them - there are several on the Acropolis, s part of the Erechtheion. The illustration dates to 1882.
