Representations of Herakles' combat with Kyknos on Attic black- and early red-figure vases depend more closely on the pseudo-Hesiodic Shield of Herakles than has previously been recognized. Lydos had a major role in shaping the iconography of the myth. The great popularity of the scene in Attica, despite the relative unimportance of the story in Herakles' career, is ascribed both to the literary source and to the conspicuous part played by Athena as warrior goddess. The unusual version of the myth on a recently published calyx-krater by Euphronios is reconsidered within the context of the iconographic development of the story
