Note 609 — Chapter V · THE DEMONOLOGY OF GHOSTS AND SPRITES AND BOGEYS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Jahrbuch d. Inst. 1893, p. 93, pl. I. The vase is there interpreted as the slaying of Polyxena, but I agree with Dr Thiersch (Tyrrhenische Amphoren, p. 56) that the scene represented is the slaying of Eriphyle by Alcmaeon. In connection with the omphalos-tomb of the vase-painting it is worth noting that at Phlius near the house of divination of Amphiaraos there was an omphalos. See P. II. 13. 7.
