swan's head, is a lion passant regardant to r. He is represented on a larger
scale than the other figures. Confronting him is Hermes, bearded, with hair in
a club ; he wears a petasos, short embroidered chiton, purple chlamys, and
eiidromides ; in his 1. hand is a caducens, his r. is raised as if speaking. Behind
him stand two male figures to 1. holding spears ; the first one is bearded, with
long hair, long purple chiton and embroidered himation ; the other, beardless,
with long hair and a short purple chiton. Behind Zeus are two male figures to
r., both beardless, with long hair, holding spears ; the first one wears a short
embroidered chiton, the second a striped embroidered himation.

[The composition is similar to that of the ' birth of Athene ' vases, see type B. ;
cf. also B 149.]

{b) Contest of Heracles and Geryon (type E. 4) : Heracles stands to r.,
in the lion's skin, which is stippled to show the hair, and short embroidered
chiton, with quiver at back and sheath at 1. side ; in his r. hand is a sword with
which he attacks Geryon. The latter is represented, as in B 156, as three
warriors united at the hips, all bearded and fully armed ; the shield of the
middle one has a star of sixteen points as device, that of the right-hand one is
painted purple. The left-hand one falls back wounded ; he has a chiton with
scale-pattern and shield painted purple inside. Behind him is a hawk flying to 1.
Between the combatants lies Eurytion prostrate to r. ; he is bearded, and
wears a short purple chiton and greaves, his 1. hand is extended ; his legs are
drawn up in agony, and the eye is rendered without the pupil, as in B 156.
On the 1. is Athene to r., without helmet, in long chiton with diplo'idion,
embroidered with diaper-pattern, in her 1. hand a spear.

{a) Combat of Heracles and Kyknos (type E 5) : In the centre Heracles
to r., with lion's skin and short chiton, belt, quiver with wing attached to the
mouth, and sword, attacks with his club the half-prostrate Kyknos, on whose
hip he plants his 1. foot ; Kyknos falls on one knee to r., looking to 1., and
defends himself with spear and shield. On the r. is the god Ares coming to his
defence, thrusting at Heracles with spear ; both Kyknos and Ares are fully
armed, the shield of the former having the device of an ivy-wreath, the latter a
triqiietm. On the 1, is Athene to r., with long tresses, long chiton, the folds
indicated by wavy lines, aegis, of which only the fringe of snakes is visible,

(b) Two Amazons on horseback, riding to r., with long tresses, cuirasses,
short chitons, and high-crested helmets with fillets, that of the first one being
much higher than- the other ; each carries two spears, a sword, and a shield with
a Satyric mask in high relief. By the side of the second one is a dog walking
to r., and under the first is another to 1. regardant. Between the two Amazons is
a youthful female head incised in profile to 1., with hair in a knot at the back,
evidently forming part of an original design abandoned. In the field, imitation
inscriptions.

ia) Heracles and the Nemean lion (type E. i): In the centre is
Heracles kneeling to r. over the lion, which is turned to 1. ; he has grasped it
round the neck with 1. arm, and his hands are elapsed so as to strangle it. He
has elaborate curls, beard and moustache, and wears a sword. The lion has
mouth open and 1. hind-paw raised against Heracles' head. Behind the lion is
Athene to r., looking back to 1., with long sleeved chiton, himation, high-crested
helmet, shield with ivy-wreath as device, and spear. On the 1. is lolaos, with
curly hair and beard, himation round hips and over 1. arm, sword at side,
holding Heracles' club in r. hand, 1. hand raised. In the field are Heracles'
bow and quiver and a garment suspended.

[For the subject, cf. Roscher, p. 2195 ; Baumeister, p. 654; Ann. dcW Inst. 1859,
p. 60; Athen. Mitthetl. xii. (1887), p. 121 (Reisch). Reisch publishes a relief of about 580 B.C.,
which may be considered a prototype of this composition. The ' wrestling ' type is Ionic, the
* erect ' type, in which Heracles usually has a sword, is Peloponnesian. Cf. also the com-
position of Heracles and Antaios, B 222, B 322.]

{b) Two beardless youths in petasi and striped himatia, walking to r. at the
further sides of their horses, and holding the bridles. The front one has a fillet,

looking back to a female figure whose head and body are enveloped in a thick
embroidered himation ; the warrior has a visored helmet, greaves, shield with
device of a cuttle-fish, and a spear. At his further side, looking to 1., is an

pithos sunk in the earth, and now holds up his hands in supplication ; Heracles
has his 1. foot on the lip of \.hQ pit/ios, which has an incised pattern round the
shoulder of squares in which are dots. On the r. stands Athene to 1., with long
chiton and embroidered himation, high-crested helmet, shield with a rosette of
thirteen points as device. On the 1. is an old man to 1. with white hair and beard,
long chiton and embroidered himation, r. hand raised, conversing with a nude
beardless youth.

{b) Heracles (?) and the Chimaera : On the r. is Heracles to 1., bearded,
in a short chiton, aiming a blow at the lion's head of the Chimaera with club
held in both hands. Behind him is a beardless male figure, perhaps the Lycian
King Amisodaros (//. xvi. 328), in a long chiton and embroidered himation. In
the centre is the Chimaera to r., with one fore-leg raised against Heracles. The
goat's head is turned to 1., attacking lolaos (?), who is bearded and wears a short
striped chiton and shoulder-belt ; he attacks the goat with his sword. In the
field, a garment suspended.

[There is no trace of any myth connecting Heracles with the Chimaera ; but the
characteristics of the two figures are those of Heracles and lolaos ; and Bellerophon is always
represented youthful and with a spear. The vase-painter may have confused two myths, or
possibly the scene may have no mythological signification.]

probably Alkaia, with short chiton, cuirass, chlamys, anaxyrides, lofty helmet,
Boeotian shield, and spear, is attacking Heracles from behind. He wears
the lion's skin over his head and over a short purple chiton, and is about

Mon. dell' Inst. xii. 9), whom he has beaten down on one knee. She is armed
as the last one, with device of a tripod on her shield, and endeavours to defend
herself with spear and shield, the latter of which Heracles has seized. On r. is
a warrior, perhaps Telamon {Mon. deW Inst., I.e.), bearded, with short chiton,
cuirass, greaves, lofty visored helmet, and shield with device of two pellets,
about to transfix with spear an Amazon beaten down on one knee to 1. ; she
