FIG. 104. BOEOTIAN KYLIX (BRITISH MUSEUM): GIRL PLAYING KOTTABOS(?).

The subjects are of some interest, and include two figures of Herakles, one bearded, the other youthful; a girl playing kottabos (Fig. [104]); and a cultus-image of an enthroned Chthonian goddess (Demeter or Persephone), holding a torch, ears of corn, and poppies. These vases have been collected and fully discussed in an interesting article by Dr. S. Wide.[^[1408]]

[1272]. Furtwaengler, in Berl. Phil. Woch. 1894, p. 112, in repudiating the idea that the new style was first introduced in the kylikes, seems to have misunderstood Hartwig’s arguments.

[1273]. Jahrbuch, ii. (1887), p. 159 ff. The alternative view is upheld by Klein, Lieblingsinschr.² p. 26 ff., and he is followed by Murray, Designs on Gk. Vases, p. 6. Klein compares Epictetan vases with the work of Mikon, and also bases his argument on the story of Kimon and the bones of Theseus (see p. [418]).
