588 CATALOGUE OF VASES.
D 1-91. VASES WITH DESIGNS ON WHITE GROUND.
[D 1-7 are kylikes, D 8-18 miscellaneous shapes ; the remainder are
lekythi, arranged according to the pattern on the shoulder ; in D 19-20, this is
red palmette on black, in D 21-33 black palmette on red, in D 34-45 black
rays on red ; D 46 has black rays on white ; D 47, palmette in vermilion and
outline on white ; D 48-57, palmette in varnish colour, and the remainder
palmette in dull colour.]
D 1, FRAGMENTS of a kylix. Naucratis, 1888. Hartwig, Mehtersch. pi. 50, p. 494 (he
docs not include the fragment with the head of Apollo) ; Naukratis, i, p. 52 ; Class. Rev. ii. (1888),
p. 233. Style of Euphronios. Both exterior and interior (except a narrow border of black
glaze round the int. of the lip) are covered with a white cngobe.; drawing in black outline, with
inner markings of muscles, finer folds of drapery, etc., in brown ; hair in black wavy lines on a
brown wash ; himation in black silhouette, with folds in white and a border of purple. Eye in
archaic type, pupil a dotted circle. The ground-line in int. is formed by a band of egg pattern
cutting off a broad exergue ; in ext., by three black bands.
Interior : Europa and the bull (?). In the foreground is part of the body
of a bull, which, if the scene is that of Europa, might be explained as in the
act of raising itself from the ground. Above is seen the upper part of the body
of Europa (?) ; she stands, or sits, en face, but looks to the r., extending her r.
arm with a gesture of surprise ; she wears a long sleeved chiton embroidered
with crosses, and himation over her shoulders, and earrings ; her hair falls in a
loop beside her face, leaving the ear uncovered.
[For the myth, see Apollod. iii, 1 ; according to one version, the bull, which was gleaming
white, couched at Europa's feet.]
Exterior: (a) Contest of Heracles and Apollo for the tripod. The
lower part of each figure only is preserved. Heracles, with scabbard at side
and lion-skin hanging probably from his shoulders, moves away to 1., holding the
tripod, of which part of one leg is shown beside his 1. knee. Apollo, wearing
sandals, moves after him. Part of his head is preserved, with the hair looped
up over the ears. Between them is the end of an inscription, MO .... 'AiroXKjcov.
On the r., remains of a female figure, probably Artemis, wearing a long chiton,
himation and sandals; her chiton is embroidered with small crosses. The
figure of Athene, usual on the 1. of this composition, may be represented by part
of a draped female figure, whence is a dolphin plunging downwards, probably
to indicate the sea over which Apollo rode on the tripod.
(b) Combat (?). Judging from the small fragment which remains, the
central group has consisted of a figure wearing a scabbard to 1., followed by a
warrior with two spears.
[On the interior of the fragment giving the head of Apollo in (a) is one letter A, which
has been engraved in the black glaze, possibly part of a dedication of the cup to Aphrodite.]
