Pfundstein" Subject: Echelos and Basile Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Does anyone know anything about a local hero from Attica called Echelos, or a young woman (heroine?) named Basile? The former can be seen abducting the latter on p. 156 (fig. 146) of Boardman's _Greek Art_ (4th edition). Images of the same votive offering are also at Perseus http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/image?lookup=1998.01.0028 and at the Beazley Project http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/CGPrograms/Cast/image/D046b.jpg I'm interested in the story, if it's known. Thanks in advance for any clues. JMP("Pe:nizomenos") .
