| Published Description | ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE CUP (SUB A) Continuous curved body, round handles slightly upturned, disk foot. Inner lip, interior of handles, and edge of foot reserved. Reserved band on body below scene. Underside of foot has glazed band on inside of cone. Subject: I, running satyr to right, with bearded head turned back, bordered by three glazed bands. A, Herakles and Nemean lion. Athena with crested helmet stands to the right, holding a round shield and a spear in her left hand. Two male figures to left, one of whom appears to be turning left (Iolaos?). He wears a heavy cloak and hold a club or sword in his left hand. Herakles' bow, quiver, and cloak hang in the field. Vine in background. B, The same scene, although the drawing is very crude and it is difficult to be certain how many figures are to the left of Herakles. Accessory Colors: Red: A-B, Herakles' hair and ground line. From Pozzuoli. -- Wisseman, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Plate 15, 1-4. |
