Lot Essay

The scene shows the struggle for the tripod between Herakles and Apollo, the hero wearing his lionskin, wielding his club and carrying the tripod, Apollo, a quiver over his shoulder, striding forward with his left hand grasping the tripod and his right gesturing towards Herakles, Athena standing to the left, wearing her crested Corinthian helmet, Artemis standing to the right carrying a spear.
