Summary edit
| Description |
English: 'The amphora main body depicts a “hoplitodromos”, a speed race among armed runners equipped with greaves, helm and shield. The tripods painted below the amphora handles are the prizes for the winners. On the shoulder Herakles wrestles with the Nemean Lion. Near the hero his friend Ioalos and other youths.
With its military overtones, the race in armor was especially appropriate for the war goddess Athena, and may have been introduced in Athens before its first appearance at Olympia (520 BC). Contestants, laden down with metal helmets and shields, were required to run two lengths of the stadium (400 m). On vases they can be distinguished from running warriors by the fact that they wear no body armor CAV / CAVI @ www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/record/F0D689F2-77B1-4A5E-8278-EF663...
