Lysippos is said to have represented Heraklesas stripped of his weapons by Eros {A?ith. Pal. 16. 103. i ff. (Tullius Geminus),cp. 16. 104. I ff. (PhiHppos)); and the incident became a commonplace of laterart (see M. Collignon in Daremberg—Saglio Did. Ant. \. 1606 fig. 2184,A. Furtwangler in Roscher Lex. Myth. i. 1366, 2248 f., O. Waser in Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. vi. 510, 513 f.). Hence Eros is arrayed in the heros spoils.
