Greetings my lady...
Yes indeed; it representing "Bellerophon with Pegasus, killing Chimera". You can easily see Pegasus in the left, Chimera Beast in the righ and I guess that fellow is Bellerophon...
The technique of this art, is quite old; definitely not Classic Age.
The shape, anatomy & details of the body/face of the human figure, are not too perfect. In fact, there isn't anatomy; the figure is more like a caricature, like most of the artwork of "Bronze's Age" or later...
The same comment, for the two Mythical Beasts.
ALSO, the color-combination telling us that this is a no-Classic Times art...
Regards my lady...

I've seen the link you posted, my lady. VERY-VERY strange saying that this is from 6th-5th century BC! Even for the Lacedaimonian "not-so-high-class-artwork", this "Krater" CAN'T be after - at least - the 7th century BC...
But, I'm just a amateur researcher and an illustrator! I maybe wrong...)
