The seven Deeds of Theseus - IV

            ii) The mantle and weapons of the hero are hung to a tree; Theseus grabs the foot of Skiron and throws him into the sea. Skiron was a famous robber who haunted the frontier between Attica and Megaris, and not only robbed the travellers who passed through the country, but compelled them to wash his feet on the Skironian rock; during this operation he kicked them with his foot into the sea. At the foot of the rock there was a tortoise, which devoured the bodies of the robber's victims. He was slain by Theseus, in the same manner in which he had killed other unlucky men. 

iii) Theseus and the so-called Crommyonian sow. This monstrous wild pig terrorized the countryside around Crommyon, on the Corinthian Isthmus, ravaging the neighborhood. A sorceress named Phaea was the animal’s owner.
The depicted scene shows Theseus slaying the wild sow with his club; behind the monstrous pig the sorceress Phaea.
