===Wounded by Achilles=== A late sixth-century or early fifth-century Attic fragmentary red-figure [[calyx krater]], attributed to [[Phintias (painter)|Phintias]] (St. Petersburg, [[Hermitage Museum|State Hermitage Museum]] ST1275) apparently depicted the battle between Telephus and Achilles.<ref>Gantz, pp. 579–580; Heres and Strauss, p, 866 ''[[Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae|LIMC]]'' [http://ark.dasch.swiss/ark:/72163/080e-741f47cea62f4-b 8728 (Telephos 48)]; Beazley Archive [http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/record/DC1084D4-6D5C-4FD5-BB6E-6A6970E60A4C 200122]; AVI [https://www.avi.unibas.ch/DB/searchform.html?ID=7656 7395].</ref> Fragments show [[Patroclus]], and a bent over [[Diomedes]] (both named), part of a thyrsos, and the inscription "Dionysos". It is presumed that Diomedes is attending to the fallen [[Thersander (Epigoni)|Thersander]], and that the central part of the vase depicted Achilles wounding Telephus, with the aid of the god [[Dionysus]]. According to Pausanias, the battle between the Telephus and Achilles at the Caicus river was also depicted on the West pediment of the [[Temple of Athena Alea]] at Tegea (finished c. 350–340 BC).<ref>Fullerton, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0-XFCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA233 p. 233]; Heres, p. 96; [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.45.7 8.45.7];</ref> Only fragments remain of the West pediment, which indicate that Telephus perhaps wore the lion-skin of his father Heracles.<ref>Heres, p. 96; Heres and Strauss, p. 866, ''[[Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae|LIMC]]'' [http://ark.dasch.swiss/ark:/72163/080e-741c52344b8a9-3 8521 (Telephos 49)].</ref> Inscriptions show that Telephus and Auge were represented on the [[metope]]s of the temple,<ref>Fullerton, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0-XFCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA233 pp. 233–234]; Heres and Strauss, p. 862, ''[[Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae|LIMC]]'' [http://weblimc.org/page/monument/2079225 8621 (Telephos 3)]; ''IG'' V.2 [https://epigraphy.packhum.org/text/32088?bookid=12&location=16 79].</ref> and Pausanias also mentions seeing a portrait painting of Auge there.<ref>Bauchhenss-Thüriedl, p. 46 Auge 2; [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.47.2 8.47.2].</ref>
