Home page Info about artworkdescription: In another of his labors, Herakles has returned from the underworld with Kerberos, the multi-headed dog who guards its entrance, while the messenger-god Hermes leads the way, with two women looking on. On the back, a warrior draws his sword on a modestly veiled woman in the presence of two onlookers; this scene has been identified as Menelaos' recovery of Helen after the capture of Troy. Attributed to the circle of exekias.
