Reader Two: A Fable by Ambrose Bierce
Reader Three: While bathing, Antinous
Reader Four: was seen by Minerva, who was so enamoured of
Reader Three: his beauty
Reader Four: that, all armed as she happened to be, she descended from Olympus to woo him; but, unluckily displaying her shield, with the head of Medusa on it, she had the unhappiness to see
Reader Three: the beautiful mortal turn to stone from catching a glimpse of it.
Reader Four: She straightway ascended to ask Jove to restore him; but before this could be done
Reader One: a Sculptor
Reader Two: and a Critic
Reader One and Two: passed that way and espied him.
Reader One: "This is a very bad Apollo," said the Sculptor: "the chest is too narrow, and one arm is at least a half-inch shorter than the other. The attitude is unnatural, and I may say impossible. Ah! my friend, you should see my statue of Antinous."
Reader Two: "In my judgment, the figure," said the Critic, "is tolerably good, though rather Etrurian, but the expression of the face is decidedly Tuscan, and therefore false to nature. By the way, have you read my work on 'The Fallaciousness of the Aspectual in Art'?"
