MASTERPIECES OF ART LOST
Glorious Buildings Of Sellnus Among
Those Of Which Hardly
Trace ls Left.

The crumbling ruins OF Selinus lie
scattered owe a hill OF western Sicily,
where once they lowered In titanic
glory, The Greek colonies OF the fifth
century B. c. all had their artists and
sculptors, and Sellnus boosted seven
masterpieces of Greek art erected to
the honor OF its fayorite diyinlties.
The broken columns and walls OF the
most majestic temples Of Sicily lie half
buried In the dust Of their crushed
stones and ground into the earth as II
hurled down by a mighty force, Her
cules, to whom one of the temples was
built, might have torn them in anger
and flung the columns about and
crushed the massive stone to powder
with a blow OF his fist. Looking out
upon the chaotic ruin from the brow
OF the hill one can imagine the shat
tered columns shaking or the dust and
gathering themselves together to stand
erect again above the broad stairs. The
walls seem to grow firm and square
and graceful figures adorn the en-
frances. The picture fades quickly,
and the fallen stones seem more desc
late In contrast.
The buildings were not yet finished
when Hannibal marched upon the
proud city OF Sellnus and laid Siege 70
It's stronghold. Nine days the Greek
colony held out, then Hannibal entered
in triumph and massacre and destruc-
tion followed. The temples survived,
only TO fall later in more complete ruin
than the C~arthaginian army could have
accomplished. An earthquake was tho
cause Of the overthrow. The temples
were then old, battered perhaps, but
apparently good for some centuries,
hut the first trembling OF the earth
shook the very foundations and the
temples fell.
