Prize Sculpture by Mr. Adams - "Orestes and Pylades carrying away the Statue of Diana from Taurica Chersonesus, 1858. '. The tradition which forms the subject of Mr. Adams's sculpture is thus given by Euripides: "Orestes, after the murder of his mother, consulted the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, where he was informed that nothing could deliver him from the persecutions of the Furies if he did not bring into Greece Diana's statue, which was in the Taurica Chersonesus, and which, as it is reported by some, had fallen down from heaven'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
