| Darstellung der beden Freunde Hercle und Vile und maybe Iole, Explanation: I came up with the name Iole in connection with Herakles and Iolaos. Since your text seems to have many typos (is it scanned, maybe)This could be a possibility. IOLE Ty G11 von HERAKLES verlobt mit seinem Sohn HYLLOS http://www.antike-mythologie.de/Pages/GindexI.html EURYTOS AND IOLE In those versions where Megara is still alive, Herakles now gave her to Iolaos. Wanting a new wife, he went to participate in the archery contest which Eurytos of Oichalia, Herakles’ former archery instructor, was holding for the hand of his daughter Iole. Although Herakles won the contest (and the support of Iphitos, Eurytos’ oldest son), Eurytos feared that Herakles would again kill his children and refused to give Iole to him. He got Herakles drunk at a banquet after the contest and drove him out of his land. http://www.sporadestours.com/argos9.html |

| Darstellung der beden Freunde Hercle und Vile und Vile is probably a name Explanation: Dear Saskia I have found Vile in a list on Etruscan inscriptions: "hercle vile IV ES 128 ... laran hercle menrva vile III ES 255 C" http://web.infinito.it/utenti/e/etruscan/specu2.htm These are mirror backs: Since it appears in a naming series with Laran, Hercle and Menerva it should be name... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs 47 mins (2004-07-01 13:03:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ALSO: \"vilae hercle Palestrina, IV ES 33 ... castur pultuce menrva vile Ferento, III 10910; ES .. mean hercle vilae Vulci, IV ES 142\" http://web.infinito.it/utenti/e/etruscan/specu.htm :) |
