The mortal Peleus “courts” the sea-nymph Thetis by seizing her, while she shape-shifts into fire and a cat in an attempt to escape his grasp; the centaur Chiron and a Nereid observe the scene. Side B of an Attic black-figure amphora, by an unknown artist after the manner of the Leagros Group; ca. 510 BCE. Now in the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich. -- source link
