Question

Aphrodite holds up one of these items to ward off Pan in a marble group from Delos whose common name humorously pairs this item with “slapper.” Pliny's Natural History recounts how a maker of these objects criticized various details of an Apelles painting after finding a defect in one of these objects, to which Apelles responded (-5[1])by telling the man not to “look beyond” this object. A Herakles knot adorns one of these objects in (-5[1])Praxiteles's (-5[1])Hermes (-5[1])with the Infant Dionysus. The peplos of a goddess (*) slips off her shoulder (10[1]-5[1])as she stretches her right arm towards one of these objects in a marble sculpture from the Temple of Athena (-5[1])Nike on the Acropolis. For 10 points, Greek sculptures often depict Hermes or Nike (-5[1])adjusting sometimes-winged (10[2])examples (10[4])of what (10[2])type (10[1])of (10[1])garment? (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[2])

ANSWER: shoes [or sandals; or slippers; or talaria] (The first sculpture is commonly known as the Slipper-Slapper; the idiomatic phrase is Sutor, ne ultra crepidam, meaning “shoemaker, not beyond the shoe”)
