Style and ornaments as E 483. Brown shading of tripod.
(a) Contest of Apollo and Heracles for the tripod. Heracles, bearded,
holding up club in r., runs to r. with the tripod under his 1. arm ; he looks back
at Apollo, beardless, with long hair, who runs after him, grasping a leg of the
tripod in each hand. On the r. Athene and on 1. a veiled goddess stand
looking on, the latter raising both hands in surprise. Athene places her r. hand
against the club of Heracles, and has a long bordered chiton and diplois, dotted
aegis with large Gorgoneion, a helmet with raised cheek-pieces, and a spear held
upright in 1. The veiled goddess is dressed in a long chiton and a mantle which
passes over the back of her head ; it is difficult to decide whether she raises her
1. hand with the fingers spread out, or whether she holds a torch in her 1. hand,
the drawing being very defective here.
(I?) A woman in long chiton and himation, with hair looped up, moving to
r., looking back, between two draped ephebi staff in hand.

(a) Hermes confiding the infant Dionysos to the Nymphs. Hermes,
beardless, with fillet, pctasos knotted under his chin, chlamys, winged endro-

the infant Dionysos, whom he holds by the body in both his hands.

The infant, whose body faces Hermes, turns round to r. and extends both its
arms towards a Nymph, who stands with 1. hand on her hip, and leaning with the
butt-end of her tbyrsos on the rock ; her r. foot is drawn back and rests on the
toes : her hair is looped up, and she wears a woollen fillet and an ivy-wreath •
