Epigonus
Epigonus (Greek: Ἐπίγονος) of Pergamum was the chief among the court sculptors to the Attalid dynasty at Pergamum in the late third century BCE. Pliny the Elder, who offers the only surviving list of the sculptors of this influential Pergamene school, attributes to him works among the sculptures on the victory monument erected by Attalus I in the sanctuary of Athena at Pergamum to commemorate his victory over the Gauls of Galatia (223 BCE). Among works there by other sculptors, Pliny attributes to Epigonos a masterful Trumpeter and "his infant pitiably engaged in caressing its murdered mother"; the male figure in his group, once part of the dedication of Attalus I at Pergamon, is probably the original of the marble copy known in modern times as The Dying Gaul, in the Capitoline Museums, Rome. The Weeping Child pitifully caressing its murdered mother is "associated with the so-called Dead Amazon in Naples, a copy of a group which was once part of the later, second Gallic dedication of Attalos, at Athens.... From drawings of this composition made in the Renaissance, we learn that the child was removed from the Naples statue during the sixteenth century". Another sculpture from the same monument exists in marble copy of the Gaul Killing Himself and His Wife, formerly in the Ludovisi collection. Eight signed bases from the acropolis of Pergamon have lost their sculptures of valuable bronze, which was doubtless laboriously cut apart for the sake of the metal and refounded during Christian times.

Where Did You Get Those Stripes
by: WebkinzI like your green and blue eyes
I like your cute little nose
I like your pointed ears
And all four of your toes!
I hear you hang in the alley
You know all the drain pipes
But tell me, tell me, where did you get those stripes?
You've got a cool Dude Hat
You love Spiced Salmon Strudel
Like all Alley Cats
You don't hang with Poodles
I hear you like the music
You play a mean bagpipe
But tell me, tell me, where did you get those stripes?
I've seen a lot of Cats in my days
Black, Brown, Orange and White
I've never quite seen one like you before
You're such a cool, cool sight!
