(a) Scene from a comedy; parody of the myth of Chciron cured by
Apollo (or Asclepios) : On the 1. is a stage, on which is a side-view of a doorway
with projecting porch ornamented with an egg-moulding and scroll-pattern ;
this represents the temple of Apollo at Delphi. The porch is supported by a
sloping bracket; below the stage arc two festoons. The stage is approached by
a ladder of four steps, on the second of which stands the slave Xanthias, who
has preceded Cheiron up the ladder, and turns round to help him up by placing
r. hand on his head. Xanthias is bald and bearded, with short girt bordered
chiton, under-garment with sleeves and anaxyrides in one piece, and pliallos; he
wears a mask with snub nose and large mouth. On the stage behind him
are a large bundle ornamented with zigzags and rings, fastened to a yoke,
and a pilos, which he has laid clown to assist Chciron ; above him is incised :
.. V8IAZ, ltHa]v8ca<}. Cheiron stands on the two lower steps, leaning on a crooked
staff; the hinder part of the Centaur is formed by a slave pushing from behind.
Cheiron is partly bald, with white hair, beard, and shaggy eyebrows, mask with
exaggerated nose and mouth, bordered himation, under-garment as Xanthias,
andp/iallos ; his eyes are closed to indicate blindness. The slave is partly bald,
with white hair and beard, mask and dress as Chciron ; behind him is a youth
