- Description
- Pottery: black-figured lekythos (oil-flask). Accessories faded. On the neck, palmettes; above the design, maeander. Quadriga of Achilles at full speed to right, the horses having very long tails and pendants from their collars; the charioteer in long white chiton, holding goad and reins, his head obliterated. It is passing by the tomb of Patroclos, represented by a white bell-shaped mound, over which is the hero's ghost, in archaic running attitude to right, fully armed, with two spears, and winged. By the side of the horses is a dog running to right. --The British Museum Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
