PLATE XXXVI
Ixion on the Wheel
Ixion is bound by several thongs to an eight-spoked wheel. His "running" attitude and the wings on the wheel, after the manner of archaic art denote rapid revolution. The flower beside Ixion's right foot serves only to fill up the space between the spokes. From an Etruscan bronze mirror of the fourth or third century b.c., in the British Museum (A. B. Cook, Zeus, i, Plate XVII). See p. 144.
