"Apelles, the great artist, traveled all over Greece for years, studying the fairest points of beautiful women, getting here an eye, there a forehead, and there a nose, here a grace and there a turn of beauty, for his famous portrait of a perfect woman which enchanted the world.

By combining the perfect points, the graceful curves, the lines of beauty of many individuals, he made his wonderful painting." -Introduction
