Red fiured bel-krater (wine bowl), from Santa Agata dei Goti, Campania, Italy, made in Paestum. Alkmene's narrow escape from death is depicted in this scene. Torches are put to a pile of logs in front of the altar, where Alkmene waves frantically upwards towards Zeus. Clouds drench the flames and the rainbow over Alkmene signals a happy end. From the workshop of Python in Paestum. GR, 1890.2-10.1
