Open passage
867. B.M. F 68; Petersburg 525 = Reinach, i. 11.
Open passage
869. Petersburg 1792 = Reinach, i. 1: cf. Rev. Arch. xxxvi. (1900), p. 93.
Open passage
870. B.M. F 277; Reinach, i. 99 (and see i. 155); E.g. i. 522, 1, and Baumeister, i. p. 423, fig. 463.
Open passage
872. See Ubell, Thanatos, p. 22 ff. He doubts the possibility of the identification of Thanatos on Greek vases.
Open passage
873. Athens 1093 = Roscher, ii. 2678; Reinach, i. 149 = Baumeister, i. p. 727, fig. 781: cf. Louvre F 388 (where Pottier identifies the warrior as Sarpedon).
Open passage
874. B.M. D 58 (= Fig. 123), E 12 (= Wiener Vorl. D. pl. 3, figs. 1–2); Athens 1654 = Dumont-Pottier, i. pl. 29; Arch. Anzeiger, 1893, p. 86 (in Berlin); with body of woman, Athens 1653 = Dumont-Pottier, i. pls. 27–28, and Jahrbuch, 1895, pl. 2. All but two of these are funeral lekythi.
Open passage
877. Berlin 2157 = Jahrbuch, i. p. 211; Arch. Anzeiger, 1895, p. 37 (see under Herakles, p. 103, note 1172).
Open passage
878. See J.H.S. xii. p. 340 (Ker seizing soul of fallen warrior); also for a Ker in combats, Reinach, ii. 63, 126 (Munich 781), 97 (in the latter case protecting Aeneas against Diomede); also i. 113 (Berlin 1713, 1714), 223, where they represent demons of good or evil according to the will of the gods.
Open passage
879. See Robert, Thanatos, and J.H.S. xii. p. 345. The Ker hovering over Alkyoneus (see below, p. 100) in Reinach, i. 255, 451, may be a Hypnos (see Koepp in Arch. Zeit. 1884, p. 42 ff.).
Open passage
880. B.M. D 54; Benndorf, Gr. u. Sic. Vasenb. pls. 14, 33; Athens 688 = Reinach, i. 165 = Roscher, ii. 1147; Stackelberg, pl. 48: and cf. Reinach, i. 347 (= Bourguignon Cat. 19) and Benndorf, E.g. pl. 42, 2; in the former the soul is armed; in the latter the winged figure may be the Κήρ. There often seems to be a confusion between the εἴδωλον or ghost and the Κήρ or Δαίμων, both in its functions and its art-form. Thus, on the vase given in J.H.S. xx. p. 101 (see p. 52), small winged figures like souls are seen flying out of the jar, which are here intended to represent evil spirits or maleficent ghosts, like the evils let out of the jar by Pandora.
Open passage
881. B.M. B 639; Reinach, i. 89; Millin-Reinach, i. 19.

(1891), p. 113 ff., and for another explanation, Robert, Arch. Märchen, p. 194 ff. A vase in Berlin (Cat. 2646 = Reinach, i. 229 = J.H.S. xix. p. 232) represents the Ἄνοδος of Ge-Pandora, with Satyrs astonished at the sight.
