It has passed almost twenty years since Buchthal published “The Foundations for a chronology of Gandhara Sculpture” in which he tried to set the Eros-with-Garland motif of Gandhara sculpture in the second century A. D. It is clear that with this study he intended to support the romano-buddhistic theory. One of the facts in favor of his arguments is that the garland of the present motif in Gandhara sculpture has always a bunch of grapes hanging down from the lowest part of a garland, and the same type of this motif can be found in the garland-sarcophagi sculptured in Asia-Minor and Alexandria in the second century A. D.Schlumberger, like some other scholars, noted in his recent article that Buchthal wasnt so prudent for publishing his theory, specially for collecting the materials, and as one of the example against the Buchthals view he cited the reliefs of St. Remy dated about the first half of the first century A. D.The present author classified in the first chapter the greek Eros in three types as the classification of Seltman, and he makes it clear that the second type of Aphrodite, became to be treated like usual boys, not in single but in plural, in the Hellenistic Period. In this type of Eros we can find the so-called “prototype” of Eros of the Eros-with-Garland as in Pergamon ceramics and the silver Kantharos from Tarant. In the following chapter, the relation between the “prototype” and the first complete examples of the Eros-with-Garland is studied, for setting up a chronology of this motif. The most flourish period for the Eros-with-Garland motif is in the Roman Empire, because it was used as the one of the chief motif of the sarcophagus decorations. He classifies many variations of this motif into seven types, which brings to light the way of the development of this motif from the Hellenistic period to the Roman period.The present author ended this article with which the hellenistic character of this motif played a big role to develop and spread not only in the classical world but also in the eastern world like Gandhara, which will be treated in another article.
