DARIUS.—This striking mosaic from Pompeii is of Darius in the battle against Alexander at Arbela—the last of the great conflicts between the “Great King” and his conqueror. The picture is one that illustrates Andre Bonnard's last book on the classical age—“Greek Civilisation, from Euripides to Alexandria.” In this volume, published by Allen and Unwin, the great Swiss classicist deals in his customary masterly fashion with events in the fourth and third centuries B.C., the period that witnessed the death of the city States.
