B 4. KYLIX. Ht. 6 in. Diam. ioj in. Naucratis, 1886. Naukratis I., pis. viii., ix., and
p. 53; Studniczka, Kyrene, p. 17 IT. ; Dumont and Chaplain, pp. 312, 400; J. H. S., x.
p. 133 ; Sikes, Nike of Archer?nos, p. ir. Much injured; a large part lost. Designs black on

Interior, within a double border of lotos-buds and pomegranates: The
nymph Cyrene standing to r., the ends of her hair and folds of her dress being
visible, also both feet, but the rest of her figure obliterated ; she holds in her hand
a large branch of silphium, and another branch with pomegranates, or perhaps
apples from the garden of the Hesperides (cf. Plin. N. H. xix. 41). Around
her are flying winged figures, on the 1. four Harpies (?), on the r. three
Boreades (?), all with long streaming hair and short fringed chitons ; the male
figures are bearded, and wear endromides. In the field are three large birds,
one flying to 1.
[The Harpies, according to Philodemos (ne/jl ei<re(l(Uis, p. 43), guarded the garden of the
Hesperides, which was localized at Cyrene ; the nymph Cyrene was a Hesperid (see Stud-
niczka, pp. 20-26). The Boreades are introduced as the winds bringing the fruit, and prospering
the land (Studniczka, p. 26) ; cf. the figure on the Daphnae vase, B 104 (rev.), representing
one of the sons of Boreas with various animals.]
