The great yellow puma, agile and watch-

and with hghtning-hke spring he would

were cOnierrlng benefit on the comInun-

The JUNO OF ARGOS.
| Site of the Recent Discoveries Of the
American school of Athens.

Site of the Recent Discoveries Of the
American school of Athens.
(Dr. Charles Waldsten In the Juno Century.l
The site of the most important OF our
several excavations during the season OF
1882 was that of the temple OF Hera, or
Juno. about three miles from the town Of
Argos, at tho slope of ono Of tho moun-
tains (Eubua), running on the east OF the
Arglye plain down 10 the promontory OK
kaupiia and the beautiful Naupllan bay. IL
thus lies about half way between tho most
ancient and important cities OF the heroic
age of Greece. Mycen9, and Ilryns, and
was IN the Homerlc days the chief sanctu-
ary OF the district-in fact of the whole or
Peloponnesus. The Herslon, or Temple Of
Hera (Juno). at Argos was the cradle from
which all service of Hera emanated for tho
whole of Greece. Even IN Homer she Is
chiefly identified with Argos; for Zeus
there saws TO her, TWAIN goddesses hath
Menelaos for his helpers. even Hera OF
Argos aud Alkomenean Athene." And
Hera answers him, "Of surety three
cities are there that be dearest far to me,
Argos aud Sparta and wide-wayed My
ceng."
IL was here that. according TO later
tradition, Agamemnon offered sacrifices
before leaving for Troy. This ancient tenn
pie. perhaps the most ancient IN Greece,
though it had stone substructure, was. as
such early temples were. buils 10 great
extent of wood. In the year 423 Is. c.,
through the negligence OF the priestess,
who fell asleep and did not attend 20 the
light, the famous sanctuary was burned
down. A few years latei. from 40 TO il6
Il. c., the temple was rebuilt (as we have
| found Immediately below the site OF the
| earlier one by the architect Eupolomos.
, The great gold and ivory statue OF Hera IN
! this temple was the work OF the famous
sculptor (second only TO Phid'as, bis con-
temporary Polykleitos of Argos. The
renown Of this statue was as great as that
of the Athene of Phidias in the Parthe-
non and nearly as great a. that OF the
statue of Zeus by the same master 1t Olym-
pla. In fact. the Heraion OF Argos with
| its statue held the same position for the
Peloponnesus in the ancient world that
| the Parthenon with its statue held Tor At
| tica and the rest Of Greece above the
| Isthmus OF Corinth.
