Herakles and the Stymphalian birds, attributed to the Diosphos Painter

Herakles (center) holds his lion skin draped over his left arm to act as a shield against the attacking Stymphalian birds. Four birds are in flight to the right of Herakles, a fifth is visible through his legs, and a sixth attacks from behind him. In his right hand Herakles carries a loaded sling and his arm is outstretched as if he is winding up to release it.

c. 500-490 BCE

Euphronios Krater

Hypnos (foreground center left) and Thanatos (foreground center right) lift the body of Sarpedon (foreground center) overseen by Hermes (background center). Sarpedon bleeds from three wounds-one to the left pectoral, one to the lower right abdomen, and one to the right thigh. Hermes wears his winged helmet and carries his caduceus in his left hand. His right hand is raised, perhaps in direction. The scene is flanked by Laodamas and Hippolytos. All the characters are named by inscriptions.
