Transcriber’s Note:

Errors which can be attributed to printer’s mistakes have been corrected, as noted below. Lapses in punctuation are corrected with no further mention.

The author has included as Fig. 173 a table of alphabets used on Greek vases.

Inscriptions are presented in archaic Greek script, which more or less follows that table. For instance, the character for pi (Π) resembles the modern gamma (Γ). All inscriptions are given using modern Greek characters. References to individual characters may appear with very brief descriptions, derived where possible from that table. The character upsilon (Υ) frequently appears as a modern Roman V. On occasion, sigma appears in the form of a modern C (the lunate sigma Ϲ).

Footnotes, which were numbered sequentially on each page, have been resequenced to be unique across the text. Cross-references to those numbers in the text have been changed to reflect this. The notes themselves have been moved to the end of each chapter.

Each plate was followed by a blank page on its verso, which have been removed here. The position of each plate, as well as that of all other figures, has been adjusted slightly to avoid falling in mid-paragraph. The pages devoted to plates were not counted in pagination.

The following anomalies regarding footnotes were observed:

On p. 31, note 108, the reference to Overbeck’s _Kunstmythologie Atlas_ failed to italicize “Atlas”.

On p. 72, the reference to footnote (882) is missing from the text. The reference has been added at the end of the paragraph ending with “he floats through the air fully armed, with large wings.” The description of item B 240, referred to in the note, from a contemporary edition of _A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum_ agrees with this characterization.

On p. 458, the footnote number for 3184 was missing and has been replaced.

The following table contains those textual issues which are readily attributed to printer’s errors:

p. 138 n. 1421 Pylades at [o/O]mphalos Corrected.

p. 345 [r]idge-tiles Missing ‘r’. Possibly
‘edge’
