326—Legend of the Corinthian Capital A young girl of Corinth died, and her nurse collected the articles which she had loved, put them in a basket on her grave, and laid a tile on top of it. By chance the basket was placed on the roots of an acanthus plant, and this, sprouting in the spring, partly covered the basket with its leaves, some of which, reaching the tile, turned downward, as shown in the picture.

An architect named Callimachus,' who happened to see it, was struck by its beauty, and thought it would make a finc capital for a column, and by changing it a little he made the Corinthian column, which thus got its name from Corinth.—Young Folks' Cyclopædia.
