OINOCHOE. 311
Dionysos and a Seilenos. Dionysos, bearded, wreathed with ivy, in
Ionic chiton and mantle, stands to 1., holding in 1. a thyrsos, the stem of which
is entwined by a snake; he holds out in his r. a cantharos to be filled by a
Seilenos, who comes forward holding out an oinochoe, his 1. hand extended with
fingers spread, in a gesture of surprise ; he is wreathed with vine. Behind
Dionysos comes a he-goat, with its neck encircled with a vine-wreath.
E 512. TREFOIL OINOCHOE. Old No. 870. Ht. 13? in. Vulci. Durand Coll. no. 213. The
Boreas scenes are collected by Stephani, Memoires de VAcad. de Saint Petersb. 7 ser. ; Boreas
u. die Boreaden, p. 4; also Loeschcke, Boreas mid Oreith. am Kyfis. in Dorfiat Programm for
1886. Severe style. Purple fillet of girl on 1. and surface of lip of the vase. Brown upper folds of
the long chitons, markings of rock and of anatomy ; also the ends of the hair and beard of Boreas.
Eye of archaic type, with inner angle open. The lower folds of the chiton of Oreithyia are
grouped in regular sets of six to eight; that of the girl on 1. has no folds shown. The hair and
beard of the old man are indicated in outline only ; those of Boreas are treated as a black
mass, from which long brown strokes are drawn. Below, a thin red line ; above, a strip of
tongue pattern, and on each side a strip of net pattern. Around the lower part of the neck
is a moulding, on which is a band of pairs of masanders separated by red cross squares.
On the body and shoulder : Boreas seizing Oreithyia. Boreas, a winged
bearded figure with long hair, wearing a sleeveless chitoniscos girt, and endro-
mides with wings or flaps, rushes to 1., seizing with both hands the I. arm of
Oreithyia, who flees, looking back and raising both hands with a gesture of
alarm. She wears a woollen Ionic chiton, and a small himation fastened on the
r. shoulder, and her hair is looped up with a fillet (left red). On the 1. a Nymph
(Herse ?) flees, in a similar dress and attitude ; her himation is fastened on the
r. shoulder, and her hair, confined with a fillet, falls down her back, with the
ends fastened in a roll; she wears earrings. On the extreme r., Erechtheus,
a bearded bald old man, is seated on a rock, closely muffled in an himation which
conceals his mouth and the lower part of his head ; he looks downward in an
attitude of dejection, his r. hand striking his forehead, his 1. resting on a crutch-
staff. He wears a fillet, indicated by a thin black line.
On the foot, incised characters, see Old Cat. pi. B. 870.
[For the interpretation of Herse and Erechtheus cf. Munich Cat. no. 356, where these
figures have the names inscribed.]

Later stage of severe style. Purple bracelets. Brown upper folds of chiton, hair over forehead,
details of wings and thymiaterion, and necklace. Eyes (full face) of archaic type. Below, a
strip of mreander ; above, at junction of neck, of egg pattern.
On body : Nike flying to r. towards an altar, holding in her r. a thymia-
terion, in her 1. a phiale mesomphalos. Her face, wings and body are en face ; she
wears an Ionic chiton, a himation over both shoulders, bracelets and a saccos ;
her hair falls in three wavy tresses on each shoulder; and around her neck is a
necklace with cruciform pendant (cf. E 287). The thymiaterion has a covcr
ornamented with rows of dots and zi^za^s. The altar is in the form of an Ionic
Dionysos and a Seilenos. Dionysos, bearded, wreathed with ivy, in
Ionic chiton and mantle, stands to 1., holding in 1. a thyrsos, the stem of which
is entwined by a snake; he holds out in his r. a cantharos to be filled by a
