Note 602 — Chapter V · THE DEMONOLOGY OF GHOSTS AND SPRITES AND BOGEYS. (continued 2)

Passerius, Pict. Etrusc. III. 297. J.H.S. vol. XIX. 1899, p. 219. This representation does not stand alone. Among the fragments of vase-paintings found in the excavations on the Acropolis, and as yet unpublished, is one of considerably earlier style than the design in fig. 53, and with a representation exactly similar in all essentials. The winged feet and part of the drapery of the figure remain, and below is a large snake with open mouth. Found as it was in the ‘pre-Persian’ débris, this fragment cannot be later and is probably much earlier than 480 B.C.
