- Description
- Pottery: red-figured hydria: Centauromachy, with Kaineus. In the centre is Kaineus, armed with cuirass and shield, his body visible as far as the hips and holding out his sword. A Centaur, carrying a branch, seizes him by the left hand round the neck. On the right another Centaur gallops up, about to throw a rock on Kaineus. Behind him advances a warrior in a Persian cap and tunic of skin, carrying a shield with device of a rectangular object. On the left, a Greek warrior, carrying a shield with device of a cock (?) and apron on which an eye is painted, strides forward against an unseen opponent, brandishing a spear (?). --The British Museum
