the ship, as in Ovid and other fabulists* but on a rocky
shore.
(D. 1.) In the centre of the composition is Dionysos
turned to the left, reclining on a rock over which drapery
is thrown. He leans on his left elbow ; with his right hand
he caresses a panther which has sprung on to his lap and
raises its left paw. The legs of Dionysos have been
broken away, and of his head only the back is visible ; in
his left hand he has held a thyrsos, traces of which appear
behind his left shoulder. This figure is very similar in
pose and type to the so-called Theseus of the Eastern
pediment of the Parthenon. On either side of Dionysos
is a Satyr, seated on lower rocks. The Satyr on the right
rests both hands on his left knee; his head, which, with
the shoulder, is now broken away, was probably turned
towards Dionysos. The Satyr on the left of the God
rests his left hand on the rock behind him; his right knee
is bent and the right leg drawn up under it; in his right
hand he holds a thyrsos ; his body and head are turned to
the right. The surface of this figure has suffered very
much.
(D. 2.) Next on the left is a Satyr advancing over
rocky ground towards a large krater (shape OCXIX. of
Vase Catalogue): in his right hand he holds an oinochoe,
with which he is about to take wine from the Tcrater; in
his left hand has been perhaps a phiale; a fawn skin,
nebris, hangs from his left shoulder, the end falling below
the elbow; his right leg is advanced. His head appears
to have turned towards Dionysos ; the face is destroyed
and the body and legs much injured. On the opposite
side of the vase stands a Satyr turned to the left, resting
his left elbow on the stump of a tree, over which is
thrown a panther's skin; the top of a thyrsos appears
above his right shoulder. The body of this Satyr is in
fair condition, but of his face hardly a trace remains. He
