1 urple inscriptions. Brown inner markings, and marks of lion-skin. Eye in archaic type ;
the pupil of that of Heracles is very large ; that of Geras is small, and half sunk below the
lower eyelid. The hair and beard of Geras have been painted a yellowish white, now almost
faded. Below, a continuous band of masander, broken by red cross squares.
(a) Heracles driving off Geras (old age). Heracles, bearded, with the
lion-skin over his back and head, its forepaws knotted on his chest, rushes to ].,
grasping his club in his 1. hand, and extending his r. to seize Geras, who flies at
full speed, turning round and extending both arms towards his pursuer with a
gesture of supplication. He has rough, squalid hair and short pointed beard, a
long pointed nose and shrunken lower jaw, and a very lean body. His eye is
deep-set and his phallos of curious form. On r. of his head is his name, AEPAS,
T%>a?. Below, +APMIAES KAVOJ, Xap/j,l8-r)<; ica\6<;. The 1. hand of Heracles is
erroneously drawn as if it were the r.

(b) An ephebos closely draped in an himation, which passes over the back
of his head, leaning forward to r. on a staff, his 1. foot drawn back and resting on

Brown edge of hair and beard. The blind eye of Phineus is drawn as a curved line below the
eyebrow. Below each side, a strip of maeander.
(a) Phineus invoking the Gods. On the r. is a table covered with food
and flowers (?) {rpdire^a iBeafMarwu), part of which hangs down in front ; beside
this Phineus stands, a bearded blind man bald on the crown, with long sleeved
chiton, mantle and fillet, with both hands raised and open in the attitude of
prayer (cf. E 114) ; behind him is his sceptre, with purple lotus-top, standing in
an oblique position, as if resting against a wall. Beside his mouth is inscribed
GEO!, Oeot (or ®ea> ? as C. I. Gr.), as if proceeding from it. On the r. is
inscribed +Ar*Mi^Ej, below the table KAVOS, XapyLu'o"??? koXo?.
(/;) A woman in long sleeved chiton, himation, and embroidered saccos,
standing to 1. with r. hand extended. Perhaps Erichtho, the wife of Phineus,
whose name is given on the Wurzburg Phineus cup.
