Attic black-figure amphora from the Leagros Group Ca. 515-500 BC H. 17 in. (43.2 cm.) Herakles holds the Erymanthian Boar upside down on his left shoulder, scaring the daylights out of Eurystheus, who hides in a sunken storage jar (pithos), gesturing excitedly. Athena looks on at right, and at left is Iolaos, Herakles’ companion. Reverse: Dionysos holding a kantharos. Flanking him are two maenads, both dancing away from the god but looking back and gesturing at him. Ex Patricia Kluge collection, Charlottesville, Virginia, acquired from Royal-Athena in 1990.
