Subject Description:
This three-handled, flat-shouldered hydria is decorated on the shoulder with three seated and three striding figures, among whom appear Athena and Hermes. On the main panel Herakles wrestles with the sea monster Triton, flanked by two bystanders. The intricate composition has the Greek hero astride the monster, his arms locked around Triton's neck in an implacable grip, whileTriton flails his arms, black fingers stretched against the red background. They face different directions-Herakles to the viewers' right and up, victorious, and Triton to the left and down, vanquished. Precise incision renders the outline and details of the lion skin that Herakles weas, as well as the contour and detail of Triton's scales and fins.
