FIG. 6. A kylix from the Berlin Museum of about 490 B.C. It bears the 

 inscription 2O2IA2 EIIOIH2EN, Sosias made (me), and represents Achilles 

 bandaging Patroclus, the names of the two heroes being written round the 

 margin. The painter is Euphronios, and the work is regarded as the master- 

 piece of that great artist. The left upper arm of Patroclus is injured, and 

 Achilles is bandaging it with a two-rolled bandage, which he is trying 

 to bring down to extend over the elbow. The treatment of the hands, 

 a department in which Euphronios excelled, is particularly fine. Achilles 

 was not a trained surgeon, and it will be observed, from the position of the 

 two tails of the bandage, that he will have some difficulty when it comes to 

 its final fastening !
