tree with branches hanging over to 1. : then (ii) Sow of Crommyon (here
represented as a boar) dragged to 1. by Theseus, by a cord which fastens its
two hind legs together. Theseus wears a fillet and a scabbard, and brandishes

in his r. side. Above the mountain hangs the hat of Theseus, (iv) Kerkyon
