Pausanias Description of Greece 1.20.1

[1] Leading from the Prytaneion [‘City Hall’] is a road called Tripods [ Tripodes]. The place [ khōríon] takes its name from the shrines [ nāoi], large enough to hold the tripods [ tripodes] that stand upon them, of bronze, and containing works of artisanship that are most worthy of remembering [ mnēmē], including a Satyr, of which Praxiteles is said to have thought-of [ phroneîn] very highly. Once upon a time, Phryne asked him which of his works [ erga] was the most beautiful of them all, and they say that he agreed to give that one as a gift [to her], but he refused to say which of his works appeared to him to be the most beautiful of them all. Well, a slave of Phryne rushed up to Praxiteles saying that a fire had broken out in his building and that the greater number of his works [ erga] were lost, though not all were destroyed.
