[65]. Homerische Becher, p. 75; but on p. 25 f. of the Iliupersis des Polygnot in der Poikile, Robert refers the picture to Polykleitos on the strength of the epigram (Anth. Plan. 3. 30) by Pollianos. The question turns on the reading Πολυκλείτοιο, which has generally been held to be a corruption of Πολυγνώτοιο. But this does not convince me that Polygnotos might not have painted the work in the Propylaia. It is by no means necessary to consider the two paintings identical even if Πολυκλείτοιο must remain.

[66]. Paus. 10. 25. 2.
