As regards the stolen Caryatid the emigrated daughter of the Athenians who was separated from her five sisters there are concussive narrations, poems and suggestions for her return.

In the Lament of Caryatid the British author and historian Fred Sylvester N. Douglas wrote that the servant of the Acropolis confirmed that the five Caryatids that had lost their sister express their grief at night with deep sorrowful sighs and when he heard these sighs he would be forced to move away. Another reference about the Caryatid informs us that when she was removed from the Erechtheion the whole city could hear the sorrowful sighs as the remaining five Caryatids expressed their grief as their sister was being taken away.

E.F.
