the sculpture of the fourth century Hermes carries the young
Dionysus. But even on this point we cannot insist.
A definite proof of Polygnotan influence on vase-paintings is
to be found in the use on some of them of Thasian dialectic
forms. In the inscriptions such forms would scarcely be used
save by artists belonging to the school of Polygnotus and
Fig. 53. — Odysseus and the Suitors.
