- Pottery: red-figured oinochoe with trefoil mouth. On the body and shoulder: Boreas seizing Oreithyia. Boreas, a winged bearded figure with long hair, wearing a sleeveless chitoniscos tied, and endromides with wings or flaps, rushes to left, seizing with both hands the left arm of Oreithyia, who flees, looking back and raising both hands with a gesture of alarm. She wears a woollen Ionic chiton, and a small himation fastened on the right shoulder, and her hair is looped up with a fillet (left red). On the left a Nymph (Herse?) flees, in a similar dress and attitude; her himation is fastened on the right shoulder, and her hair, confined with a fillet, falls down her back, with the ends fastened in a roll; she wears earrings. On the extreme right, Erechtheus, a bearded bald old man, is seated on a rock, closely muffled in an himation which conceals his mouth and the lower part of his head; he looks downward in an attitude of dejection, his right hand striking his forehead, his left resting on a crutch-staff. He wears a fillet, indicated by a thin black line. On the foot, incised characters. Severe style. Purple fillet of girl on left and surface of lip of the vase. Brown upper folds of the long chitons, markings of rock and of anatomy; also the ends of the hair and beard of Boreas. Eye of archaic type, with inner angle open. The lower folds of the chiton of Oreithyia are grouped in regular sets of six to eight; that of the girl on left has no folds shown. The hair and beard of the old man are indicated in outline only; those of Boreas are treated as a black mass, from which long brown strokes are drawn. Below, a thin red line; above, a strip of tongue pattern, and on each side a strip of net pattern. Around the lower part of the neck is a moulding, on which is a band of pairs of maeanders separated by red cross squares. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893

- Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 7, British Museum 5, London, BMP, 1930, Pottery: red-figured hydria (water-jar). Perseus fleeing after cutting off Medusa's head. In the centre Medusa, a winged, headless figure in a short tied bordered chiton with sleeves, has fallen to the left, but supports herself on her rigid arms, resting only on the finger-tips, the blood flowing in a broad stream from the wound. On the left, Perseus flees to left, both arms extended in front of him, and looking round at Medusa; he wears a chiton like that of Medusa, the winged hat (κυνή Αίδον) and talaria; at his side there hangs from his left shoulder the wallet (kibisis), in which the upper part of the Gorgoneion is visible, en face (with closed eyes, black hair around the forehead, and outside this a broad strip forming a sort of frame, shaded brownish); in his left hand is the harpe, sickle-shaped, the edge jagged, the handle ending in a spiral; his long hair is looped up over his ears. On the right of Medusa, Athene runs to the left, carrying a very long spear over her right shoulder, and with her left hand raising the edge of her skirt; she wears a long undertied sleeved chiton, which has no folds, but a pattern of Vs, dotted aegis fringed with snakes, and a tall crested helmet; her long hair floats back, the ends drawn in thinned black. Advanced stage of severe style. Purple blood. Brown inner markings, upper folds of Medusa's chiton, and pinion feathers of her wings; on the upper part of Perseus' chiton no folds are visible. Eye in transition type (disc close to inner angle, which is opened). The design is principally on the shoulder, and comes very little below the level of the side handles; below it, a strip of sets of three maeanders separated by red cross squares. Round the lip, egg pattern. --The British Museum
