Notes The warrior depicted on the reverse of the vase may be a lapith. The fight of the lapiths, a Thessalian clan usually represented in hoplite armor, and the centaurs was a common depiction in early Archaic Greek Art. The artistic representation of this battle even continued into Roman times and appears in Latin literature, including Ovid's Metamorphoses.
