[Cf. Murray in J. H. S. ii. p. 318; other examples in Rom. Mittheil. 1887, p. 172, and
Salzmann, Necr. Camir. pi. 41.]
(a) Heracles to r., bearded, with lion's skin, sword at side, and club
brandished in r. hand, confronting Hera, who has a long chiton, goat-skin over
her head, with goat's horns, and shield, and brandishes a spear. Between them
is a lebes with four figures of snakes attached to the edges, and another behind
the goddess (see Duemmler, I.e. p. 184). She is held back by Poseidon, who is
long-haired and bearded, with short chiton, and trident of peculiar form in r.
hand, the lower end of which forms a spear. Behind Heracles is Athene (?) to
r., with long hair and long chiton.
[Hera is probably represented in her character of Lanuvina or Sospita. At Sparta there
was a Hera alyi'xftayos, cf. Paus. iii. 15, 9; Miillcr, Dcnkm. i. 299 B. ; Frazer, Golden Dough,
i. p. 328. See also Furtwaengler in Roscher's Lexicon, loc. cit.; he points to Kyme as the
probable provenance of the vase ; hence its connection with Southern Italy and Juno Lanuvina
or Sospita as she appears on Roman coins ; cf. Ber. d. Berl. Arch. Ges. 1 Nov. 1887.]
