^{page 221 note 1} The spear is here thrown by means of the μεσάγκυλον, which, as on the Aegina bronze disk is looped round the index and second fingers; as in that instance also the weapon is discharged in a line with the waist.

^{page 223 note 1} In the case of D the body is plain, without moulding.

^{page 223 note 2} The kylix, Musée Blacas, Pl. v., vi., which in other respects is closely allied to ours, has a similar smaller spike.

^{page 228 note 1} Cf. the same principle in the painted sarcophagus from Clazomenae, published in the Hellenic Journal, vol. iv. p. 5, figs. 5, 6. It is curious that, whereas in A the lotos comes straight out from the border, in B every stalk has the upper extremity finished off with a spiral.

^{page 234 note 1} To his list an important addition must be made inthe fictile lekythos with a group in relief lately purchased by the British Museum at the Castellani sale at Rome (Sale Catalogue, No. 140), and which is almost identical with the Borghese relief of the same subject.

^{page 235 note 1} The spiral, a mere ornament here, is I think suggested by the similar one on the warrior's thigh in B, 1, where it probably has an origin in fact; it represents a protection for the thigh, most likely of metal, corresponding to the greave which it naturally would resemble in form. It is visible on numerous vases of this style (e.g. Mus. Greg. II. liii.), and is nearly always decorated with a spiral pattern; on a vase of a private collection from Rhodes it is wornby an Amazon, and coloured black, like her greave, to distinguish it from the white colour of her flesh. It may be the παραμηρίδιον of Xen., Anab. I. 8, 6.Google Scholar

^{page 235 note 2} Cf. the vases of Exekias and his style, and Mr.Leaf, 's remarks on this subject, Hellenic Journal, vol. iv p. 83.Google Scholar See also Helbig, , Homerische Epos, p. 203.Google Scholar Plate xl. does not clearly show, what is evident upon the vase, that this cuirass is of a form which is rarely found upon black figured vases, but which is the usual form upon those of the later style. It consists of a broad belt around the body, to which two broad shoulder-pieces are attached behind; these are brought over the shoulders and fastened to the belt in front. As in many red-figured vases, these two portions are here distinguished, the belt being decorated, while the shoulder-pieces are left plain. It is obvious that a cuirass so constructed would, as in the case upon A, 1, leave a portion of the chest bare. For other instances upon black figured vases, besides those of Exekias, see Mus. Greg. II. Pl. xlviii., and El. Cer. I. Pl. viii.
