Very Fine.
From the collection of Z.P., Austria.
Ares slew Halirrhotius, son of Poseidon, after he raped his daughter, Alcippe, and attempted to abduct her. Ares was brought before the court on a hill near the Acropolis in Athens, where he was acquitted, and which now bares his name (Areopagus). This is considered to be the first trial in Athenian history.
