Editor's Note
The Harpy Tomb is a marble chamber from a pillar tomb in the abandoned city of Xanthos, capital of ancient Lycia. Built under the Persian Achaemenid Empire and dated to about 480–470 BC, the chamber topped a tall pillar and was decorated with marble panels carved in bas-relief; it was made for an Iranian prince or governor of Xanthus, perhaps Kybernis.
