[235]. Fig. 18 from a Ruvo amphora in Naples. Heydemann, no. 3223. Pub. Mon. d. Inst. ii. pl. 43; Overbeck, Bildwerke, pl. 30. 4. Vid. Annali d. Inst. vol. ix. p. 198 ff.; Arch. Ztg. 1875, p. 137; Vogel, Scenen eur. Trag. p. 70 ff.
[236]. Cf. v. 1463, where the poet says Iphigeneia is to be κλῃδοῦχος for the Brauronian Artemis. In Aisch. Supp., also, Io is spoken of as at one time κλῃδοῦχος ἥρας. Cf. v. 291.
[237]. Cf. the monuments in Overbeck’s Bildwerke, pl. 30, that represent this scene; and the central group on the front side of the Munich sarcophagus, op. cit. no. 167.
[238]. Artemis sits on an altar in fig. 21, as do Orestes and Pylades on an Etruscan mirror; vid. Gerhard’s Etruskische Spiegel, ii. 239, and v. 117. Neoptolemos jumps upon the βωμός in the Andromache (v. 1123) to avoid his foes. Cf. fig. 10, p. 84.
[239]. Cf. Robert, op. cit. nos. 177 and 178, the Berlin and Weimar Sarcophagi, and no. 180, a fragment in the court of the Palazzo Mattei. Robert properly refers to the next following moment when Orestes and Pylades are left alone with the chorus, Iphigeneia having gone inside to bring the letter. In order to obtain just the sarcophagi scenes we have but to allow Iphigeneia to withdraw after the close of her speech, v. 642.

[241]. The two wall paintings published by Overbeck, Bildwerke. pl. 30, nos. 31 and 14, and interpreted as representing this same moment, have since been explained by Petersen, Arch. Ztg. 1863, p. 113 ff., as belonging to the Alkestis. While the former view has been generally given up, the latter has not by any means been everywhere accepted. It is, at most, probable.
