Extract

In this Journal in 1893 I published a very interesting amphora discovered by Mr. Arthur Evans in a tomb at Gela in Sicily, which I described as shewing on one side Cacus dragging the oxen of Geryon backward into a cattle-shed, while a satyr above plays the flutes, and on the other side Herakles singing to the lyre.
