NATURAL HISTORY 91
goat-bird,14 phallus-bird,15 double-bodied gorgon-siren 16 and the lion-siren.17
Here we should mention also the sea monster, Ketos, on the Andromeda vase,
no. 1431, others on the pinakes A.D. i, pi. 7, 26; ii, pi. 39, 8 and 16; lA
cheloos', fig. 6 (cf. no. 374); Cerberus, fig. 45c; and the remarkable person
whose body ends in a phallus—a shield device on the crater no. 1170.
winged lion usually differs from the Greek in having
eagle-legs and claws at the back, and suggests that
the Greek form was invented independently. The
Greek form is, however, known in the East (cf., for
example, Poulsen, Delph. Stud. fig. 3), and some-
times the oriental type corresponds very closely
with the Greek: cf. Cat. of Gems in the Southesk
Coll., ii, pi. 9, Qd. 21.
9 Nos. 448, 574, 794. A rare monster: cf. Delos
x, pi. 57, 47 and AJ.A. 1908, pi. 11.
10 353> 854, 5> I459'> cf- a^so tne Protocorinthian
fragments discussed on p. 98. With the Pegasos of
the earliest coinage (B.M.C., Corinth pi. 1, 1) cf. the
Protocorinthian Pegasos, Johansen pi. 30, 2.
The winged horse is one of the first oriental motives
to arrive in Greece; it appears in Attica in the
pure geometric period (Wiirzburg inv. 4433; cf.
Schweitzer A.M. 1918, no, 1 note 3). The latest
and fullest discussion is that of Malten in Jahrbuch
1925, 143 ff. There are magnificent examples on
the helmet and mitrae from Axos (A.M. 1906, 384),
(Museum of Canea; good photographs of the helmet
obtainable from Lambrinides of Candia : Dr. Kunze
kindly sent me photographs of the mitrae).
11 On Corinthian vases, passim, especially in the late
period. The earliest example is on no. 1. See
Karo, Strena Helbigiana 151 ff., and Rumpf, Veii
48. The type may have come from Crete; at any
rate the plastic griffons on the crater Liv. Ann. 1925
pi. 5B (J.H.S. 1924, 278; A.M. 1925, 52 fig. 1)
have birds' feet.
12 Pyxis (early Corinthian ?) in Palermo. Cf. also
Mon. Ant. xxxii, pi. 42,1.
13 Earliest: nos. 57,143,157. Very common in the
early and middle Corinthian styles. Double-bodied
panther-birds: nos. 543 and 1210; cf. Brit. Mus.
60. 2. 1. 18 (p. 205).
14 Alabastron no. 23.
15 Pyxis with convex sides in Palermo; cf. the
Melian vase, Delos x, pi. 4, no. 28, where however
we have a quite different type.
16 Fig. 12; unique but cf. p. 88, nos. 6-7; on
double-bodied monsters see p. 51, note 8.
