Terracotta Kylix from Laconia in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oct. 2007
Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)
Laconian, ca. 550 BC
In the manner of the Arkesilas Painter

Accession # 59.15

One of the twelve labors that Herakles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, had to perform for his master, King Eurystheus, was the capture of a wild Cretan bull. Here, the hero rushes at the beast, while a siren perches above on a branch.
