Late. Berlin 3145 = Millingen-Reinach, 11; Athens 1931.
See also a very remarkable vase in _Forman Sale Cat._ No. 305 (now at Boston), where the same subject appears each side, one B.F., the other R.F. (by Andokides).[1139]
III. _The Erymanthian Boar_ (see Klein, _Euphronios_, p. 87).
B.M. B 462; Louvre F 236; Berlin 1981, 2034; Naples 2705 and S.A. 150; Athens 858, 860 (all B.F.).
(2) The bringing back of the boar (Eurystheus absent; Athena usually receives the hero):
B.M. B 447, 492; Cambridge 57; Munich 694; Athens 1097 (all B.F.).
[Illustration: FIG. 126. HERAKLES BRINGING THE BOAR TO EURYSTHEUS (BRITISH MUSEUM).]
(3) Herakles hurls the boar upon Eurystheus, who hides himself in a large sunk jar (πίθος):
B.F. B.M. B 161 (Fig. 126); Reinach, ii. 55, 1; Helbig, 37; Louvre F 59, 202.
R.F. B.M. E 44 (Euphronios) = Furtwaengler and Reichhold, pl. 23; Louvre G 17 = _Wiener Vorl._ 1890, pl. 10.
A dispute between Apollo and Herakles over a stag (Rein. ii. 56, 3: see p. 34) may perhaps be referred to this subject, as the myth is not otherwise known, but it is more usually Artemis who endeavours to thwart Herakles’ capture.
Found only on four B.F. vases (B.M. B 163; Louvre F 387; _Arch. Anzeiger_, 1892, p. 172; and Munich 1111 = Reinach, ii. 58) and one late example (Reinach, ii. 297). Herakles shoots the birds with bow and arrow.
This subject, occurring only on archaic vases, has no very fixed type; the Hydra has seven or nine heads, and the body of a serpent or of a cuttle-fish. Iolaos sometimes assists Herakles, and in two cases the crab sent by Hera is also visible.
B.F. Early: Reinach, i. 389; _Jahrbuch_, 1898, pl. 12; Reinach, i. 118 (6) = Louvre E 851.
Later: Reinach, i. 118 (1) = Berlin 1854 (crab); _ibid._ 118 (3); 118 (5) = Louvre F 386 = Millin-Reinach, ii. 75 (Athena slays crab); Reinach, ii. 53 = Baumeister, i. p. 657, fig. 724; Berlin 1801 = _Wiener Vorl._ 1889, 7, 3: see also Athens 792 = Heydemann, _Gr. Vasenb._ pl. 4, 1, where two successive scenes are given.
R.F. Reinach, ii. 76. Hydra has cuttle-fish body and ten or eleven heads.
IX. _The Combat with Geryon and Capture of his Cattle._
A very favourite subject on B.F. and early vases, including some of the finest specimens. Geryon is at first winged and only three-headed, then triple-bodied, represented as three armed warriors united,[1140] one or two of whom generally fall wounded. Herakles attacks with bow.
