Fifteen non-joining fragments of wall, P 18278 b--c and P 19582 a--d of torus rim with zone of ornament below. Glaze mottled here and there; has a greenish cast in places; abraded in part on rim. Max ... Ca. 480 B.C ... What comes to mind immediately, of course, is the Achaeans' mission to Achilleus described by Homer in Book IX of the Iliad and illustrated by the Kleophrades Painter on his hydria in Munich, inv. 8770 (Paralip. 341, 73 bis; Addenda 189). ... Hellström, "Achilles in Retirement," Medelhavsmuseet [The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm] 25, 1990, pp. 19--31), is that a woman should not be present, at least not as we know it from Homer and from the representations (see LIMC I, pp. 106--114). ...
