HYDRIDE. 147
above, key pattern : on each side of 2, net pattern ; above, tongue. Below 1 the body is
encircled with two thin purple lines, and a third surmounting the band of black rays on base
of body : the side knobs of the vertical handle are painted purple.
(1) Two Heroes casting lots before the statue of Athene (see vol. ii,
type H). In the centre Athene stands to i\, but looking to L, with r. hand
holding a spear obliquely across her breast, and 1. holding up her helmet: her
hair is apparently in crobylos form (badly drawn), and she wears ear-rings,
necklace, aegis with scale pattern and a fringe of conventionalised tabs, and a
long tight-fitting sleeved chiton, decorated with crosses and trefoils. In the
background behind her is a base, of rectangular form, cut by two horizontal
lines : on each side is a bearded hero seated on a square base, leaning forward
with 1. resting on two spears, and extending r. as if to throw the dice (not
indicated) : their dress is indistinctly rendered, but it seems to consist of a
short chiton, a loin cloth, parameridia, and greaves, both decorated with spirals:
the one on r. has a heavy sword hanging by a cross-belt. Behind each is his
shield (seen in foreshortening) resting against the border, with high-crested
helmet resting upon it: the device on r. is a bull's head, on 1. a tripod : the
helmet on 1. has both sides of the crest shown heraldically.

Hartwig, Meistersch. p. 274, note 3, and p. 275.]
(2) Charioteer setting out. On each side a youth in an himation is
seated on an ocladias, holding upright in his r. a staff: between them stands to
r. a quadriga, into which a youth dressed in the charioteer's long chiton steps,
holding in each hand a pair of reins, and in his 1. also a goad.

is enclosed within a border formed by, below, pairs of maeanders separated by red cross squares ;
above, zigzag pattern ; at sides, net pattern, which also forms the sides of the design 2 ; above 2,
tongue. The lower part of the body is encircled by two thin lines of purple, and below, by a
band of rays, black on red. The lip is left red.
(1) Menelaos pursuing Helen. Menelaos, a bearded warrior with
cuirass, helmet with raised cheek-pieces, and himation, pursues to r. with drawn
sword and outstretched 1. arm Helen, who with 1. on bosom turns as she flees,
extending her r. towards him with a gesture of supplication. She wears a Doric
chiton with border of zigzags and a row of dots near each edge, and apoptygma,
undergirt, an himation over her shoulders, earrings and sphendone : her hair hangs
down her back. On r. a woman in long sleeved chiton, mantle and earrings, and
head-dress like that of Helen, moves to L, extending both arms as if to protect
Helen. In the field above Helen, 3 VAX, koXtj. On 1. of her, glAHOH, 6 7rat? ; on
