- Description
- Pottery: red-figured hydria: Troilos and Polyxena. Design curving up over shoulder, with maeander and plain black and oblique cross-squares below; round the lip, egg-pattern. Troilos rides at full speed to the right, thrusting a goad into his horse's crupper; at his side is a second led horse. On the right Polyxena runs away at full speed, holding a sash in both hands over her head. Her hydria has fallen beneath the horse and is broken in two, water gushing out from the mouth and from the fracture. --The British Museum
