The essay is focused on the tragic heroine Erigone, the daughter of Ikarios. Her figure is evaluated both through literary sources belonging to a wide time span, from Eratosthenes to Cesare Pavese, and from figurative documents from Greek vascular paintings to the painting The triumph of Bacchus by Jusepe de Ribera (1635). A neglected iconographic source will also be highlighted: a skyphos from Puglia dated 375-350 BC ca. kept in London, which depicts the ritual of the aiora.

Abstract
The essay is focused on the tragic heroine Erigone, the daughter of Ikarios. Her figure is evaluated both through literary sources belonging to a wide time span, from Eratosthenes to Cesare Pavese, and from figurative documents from Greek vascular paintings to the painting The triumph of Bacchus by Jusepe de Ribera (1635). A neglected iconographic source will also be highlighted: a skyphos from Puglia dated 375-350 BC ca. kept in London, which depicts the ritual of the aiora.
