Then followed the particulars. The entries were six in all fours only permitted; and, to further interest in the performance, the competitors would be turned into the course together. Each four then received description. "I. A four of Lysippus the Corinthian two grays, a bay, and a black; entered at Alexandria last year, and again at Corinth, where they were winners.

Many were the eminent painters that adorned the fifth century before Christ, not only in Athens, but in the Ionian cities of Asia. Timanthes of Sicyon was distinguished for invention, and Eupompus of the same city founded a school. His advice to Lysippus is memorable: "Let Nature, not an artist, be your model."
