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 by telling the man not to “look beyond” this object. A Herakles knot adorns one of these objects in Praxiteles's Hermes with the Infant Dionysus. The peplos of a goddess (*) slips off her shoulder as she stretches her right arm towards one of these objects in a marble sculpture from the Temple of Athena Nike on the Acropolis. For 10 points, Greek sculptures often depict Hermes or Nike adjusting sometimes-winged examples of what type of garment? ■END■
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”)
