grbs-11091	Downey, Susan B.	Possible Ancient Prototypes for the Cyprus Plates	1967	7	.pdf	application/pdf	2281	123	75	Scholars have been puzzled about the ancient model for this plate, as the type of Heracles and the Nemean lion on which the design ought to have been based is generally depicted in a very different way. John Beckwith suggests a derivation from the type of Mithra tauroctonos.3 Charles Morey suggests the type ofHerac1es and the stag as the model,4 Hugo Buchthal either Herac1es and the stag or Heracles and the bull.5 Weitz mann argues that the change from the usual pose represents the artist's reworking of a more spread-out composition in order to fit the scene into a circle.6 The peculiarity of the pose even led Wilpert to suppose that the plate is a forgery based on the pose of Mithra.7	cache/grbs-11091.pdf	txt/grbs-11091.txt
