telamons or telamones Explanation: I did a b ook about Milan and Leone's Palazzo degli Omenoni. My research told me that they are actually called telamons/es and are giant male caryatids that serve as supporting columns. Telamon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn architecture, a telamon (plural telamones or telamons) is a sculpted support or column in the form of a man, the male equivalent of a caryatid. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telamon - 17k - Cached - Similar pages Atlas (architecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAnother name for such a column is telamon (plural telamones or telamons). (Caryatid is the female equivalent.) [edit]. Origin ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(architecture) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2006-10-25 16:05:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You might want to consider using "Atlas" too, for your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-10-25 17:57:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Quite honestly, as Gian says, the word does mean "big men", but if you are aiming to retaing some of the imapct of the original language, why use a banality or simplification? After all, the Italian text didn't say "gigante", did it? |
