by 'the metic' in Athens (Athens, Acr. 2134: Graef pl. 94), a third on the black-figured amphora Louvre E 732 (Mon. 6-7 pl. 7-8), a fourth on the black-figured calyx-krater by Exekias in Athens (North Slope: Hesp. 6 pp. 468-86), a fifth on the red-figured cup by Oltos in Berlin (WV. D pl. 2, 1-2, whence Hoppin Rf. ii p. 249: ARV. p. 38 no. 48); in the last two it is Patroklos who lies with his head towards the enemy. If the dead on the Boston vase is a Greek, we may suppose either, with Lung, that the name Melanippos is a slip for Antilochos, or that the artist has selected a more obscure figure from Memnon's aristeia, which must have included several victims besides Antilochos. The second alternative cannot be rejected out of hand.
As to the fallen man on the Tarquinia cup, he is certainly an opponent of the warrior who advances from the left; and if this is Achilles, the fallen must be of the Trojan party, whether Memnon or another;1 the same is true of the falling warrior on the Würzburg cup.
The combat of Achilles and Memnon was represented on the Chest of Cypselus: Ἀχιλλεῖ δὲ καὶ Μέμνονι μαχομένοις παρεστήκασιν αἱ μητέρες (Paus. 5.19.1); and later on the Throne of Apollo at Amyklai (Paus. 3.18.12), whether in the presence of their mothers is not stated. There are many pictures of the combat on vases, and in some of them the names of the persons are inscribed. We give a list of the inscribed vases first.
- Berlin 1147, column-krater. Mon. 2 pl. 38, b; detail, Rodenwaldt Korkyra p. 118. Achileus and Memnon fighting; on each side of the group, a warrior riding a horse and leading another. The inscriptions are in the Sicyonian alphabet. Middle Corinthian (Payne NC. p. 317 no. 1170).
(Corinthian black-figure)
- Izmir, fragment, from Old Smyrna. I describe it by kind permission of Mr. J. M. Cook and his Turkish colleagues in the excavation. Memnon, spear in hand, attacking to right. Behind him, his chariot, facing to left — outwards: nothing remains of the chariot, but the upper part of the charioteer is preserved, facing to left, holding reins and kentron. On the left, Eos facing to right. Inscriptions ΑΨΟΣ (Avos) and ΑΙΘΙΟΨ (Aithiops, designating the charioteer). Second quarter of the sixth century, contemporary with early Chalcidian, or even with the Attic fragment described on ii p. 16.2
(East Greek (Aeolian) black-figure)
- Florence 4210, fragment of a neck-amphora by the Chalcidian Inscription Painter (Rumpf). Milani Mon. scelti pl. 1, 1; Rumpf Chalk. V. pl. 1 (with p. 7 no. 1, p. 46, and p. 60). M[emn]on and Achilleus fighting over the body of [A]ntilochos; Memnon is on the left. On the left, Eos; on the right, Thetis. On the right, [Au]tomedon riding a horse; there was doubtless a similar figure on the left.

- Once Magnoncourt, neck-amphora. Gerhard AV. pl. 205, whence Rumpf Chalk. V. p. 182 fig. 12 (with p. 156 a, and pp. 157-9). Memnon and Achileu[s] fighting over the body of Antilochos; Memnon is again on the left. On the left, Heos; on the right, Thetis. Rumpf has shown that the inscriptions must have been retouched: they now read Heos, Memnon, Achileu[s], Antilochos, Thetis. Memnon Group (Rumpf).
