TELAMO'NES (Ἄτλαντες). Muscular figures of men, employed in architectural elevations instead of columns to support an entablature or a cornice, in the same manner as the female figures, or caryatides. (Vitruv. vi. 7. 6.) The annexed example (Telamones/1.1) represents a support of this kind from the tepidarium of the Pompeian baths; and the illustration to that word will show the manner in which they were applied.
