Satyr, u. Bakcheun. pp. 27, 35 ; Corey, Amaz. Ant. Fig. "p. 91 ; Klein in Ann. delP lust.
1881, p. 81 ; Hartwig, Meistersch. p. 168 ; C. I. Gr. 8227. Style of Phintias. The head is
rather large in proportion to the body : the drapery is transparent and clinging : the upper part
of the chiton has no folds : the inner markings, the nostril, hair on cheek, and moustache of
Hippaechmos, and crest of horse are in a fine thinned varnish-brown : the hands and feet
carefully drawn, and the finger nails indicated by dots in b. The beard of Dionysos has a thin
purple line separating it from the cheek and chin : purple is also used for vine and ivy,
inscriptions, mane of lion, and bow, spear, and wreath in b. The grapes and the hair over the
forehead in a are indicated in raised black varnish : their stalks, outline, and that of the hair,
tongue of serpent, eye of lion, and bowstring, are incised. The eye of Dionysos and Seragye
are of ordinary archaic form : the others have the dotted circle for pupil, like the early
black figure style. Each design is enclosed in a border : below, palmettos laid horizontally
to r. : at the sides, net : above, palmettes upright, this alone being red on black, all the
others black on red : round the bottom of the body, rays : on the moulded sides of the handles,
ivy pattern : thin purple lines round the neck, body and upper surface of foot.
{a) Dionysos, Briachos, and Erophyllis. Dionysos, with long wedge
shaped beard, long hair wreathed with ivy, long sleeved chiton and mantle over
shoulders decorated with dotted crosses [cf. B 193] and a border round the
neck of billet pattern, moves to r., holding cantharos in r. and a long branching
vine with grapes, spreading over the design, in his 1. over his shoulder:
before him his name, AlONVJOJ, Atowo-09. He is followed by a Seilenos
inscribed *0 + ai<^, Bpt'a^o?, who with open mouth raises his 1. hand to pluck a
grape from a bunch which he draws towards him with the palm of this hand.
On the r. a Msenad, inscribed with the name EPOQWViS [the two final letters
were formerly buried under plaster restoration], 'Epo^iAXt'?, dances towards
Dionysos, holding forward in her r. a snake which darts its tongue vertically
upwards: in her 1. she holds butt upwards a thyrsos : she has long hair and
a long chiton with studded sleeves, girt at the waist, with a colpos falling in
front: both she and the Seilenos wear ivy wreaths.
[The name Briachos as that of a Seilenos occurs on a vase C. I. Gr. 7465 : Hesychius
J. v. gives it as the name of a IMtenad.]
{p) Warrior and Amazon: A young warrior with helmet tilted back,
chlamys and short chiton and greaves, with a spear and shield (device, a lion
couchant, with tongue protruding, to 1. in silhouette, with mane indicated by
purple strokes, and eye incised, on a black line), moves to 1., holding with his r.
by the rein his horse, which chafes the bit, turning its head en face : above this
warrior, his name HinPAi + MOS, "liriraL-x^o^. On the 1. an Amazon stands to
r., holding in her 1. a bow, in her r. a battle-axe (?) butt foremost (the head of
the axe is wanting) : she wears a kidaris wreathed, and a dress of unusual
form : the upper part is like the jerkin of Scythian dress, with long tight-
fitting sleeves edged with dots : but the lower part and 1. edge is like
the ordinary short chiton, girt at the waist: it is made of skin, indicated
by eye-shaped marks spread over it: she has greaves, and a large quiver and
bowcase hanging at her 1. side by a crossbelt. Beside her, her name, $E[>AAVE,
%epalyur].
