Pottery - Heracles Erymanthian Boar

Ancient Greek amphora from Attica, made by the black-figure technique between 515 and 500 BC by the Rycroft Painter. It is at the M.A.N., in Madrid (Spain). It shows Heracles throwing the Erymanthian Boar on Eurystheus, who, frightened, hides in a jar. Goddesses Artemis (left) and Athena (right) contemplate the scene. -Zaqarbal
