An Amazon with a cypriote/Phoenician shield
#1
I came across this vase fragment of Heracles fighting with Amazons. The shield in the center, held by the amazon, shows a combination of features of the argive aspis and the spike-bossed bucklers seen in the Levant and Cyprus. Has anyone seen its like on other vases?

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
