beardless, and wears trie lion's skin drawn over his head,
knotted on his breast, and falling like a shield on his left
arm ; he stoops forward, resting his right foot on a rock and
pointing downwards with the fore finger of his right hand;
on the extreme left a youthful male figure stands, resting his
left foot on another rock, and facing Herakles; in his left
hand this figure holds a spear; the fore finger of his right
hand is pointed downwards as if in conversation; he has long
hair, and is beardless ; he wears apetasus fastened under the
chin, and a chlamys hanging from the left shoulder ; behind
Herakles two female figures meeting and conversing; one
holds in her left hand a basket, Icanoun, in which are two
fruits and a sash, of which the ends hang down ; the other
holds out in her right hand a sash, and in her left, which is
drawn behind her, a wreath ; both figures have their hair
gathered into a knot behind and bound with a diadem ; they
wear talaric chitons, over which falls a dipldidion as low as
the hips, girt at the waist; down the centre of the front a
double stripe; behind these two figures, on the extreme
right, is a youthful male figure seated on a rock; he is
beardless and wears a diadem ; he is seated on a chlamys, the
end of which hangs from his shoulder; the two youthful
male figures at either end of the scene are probably the
Dioskuri, to whom Herakles committed the direction of the
Olympic festival.
