The same subject, but without the aigis, is already found on the Gigantomachy-
"nphora with twisted handles, from Melos, now in the Louvre (no. S 1677) (bibliography
supra ii. 4jj nn- 4 an(j ^ jy. j6 n. 0). This handsome vase, attributed by Furtwangler
to the Talos Painter (Furtwangler—Reichhold Gr. Vasenmalerei ii. 193 ff. pis. 96 ( = my
P|- v") and 97), is referred by Beazley to the /orf-Meidias period (J. D. Beazley Attic

^-figured Vases in American Museums Cambridge Mass. 1918 p. 184), but even so
must be more than two centuries earlier than the Pergamene frieze.

^ase ano- frieze presuppose a common original, perhaps the Pheidiac painting inside

e shield of Athena ParthSnos {supra ii. 435 n. 5).
