<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientnut, post: 2081699, member: 73212&quot;]Both Phalanthos and Taras are described as a the mythical hero who founded the ancient city of Tarentum. I haven&#039;t been able to determine whether they are two different people or two different names for the same person. Reference books and auction catalogs describe the dolphin rider either as &quot;Taras&quot; or &quot;Phalanthos&quot;, but some catalogers acknowledge the problem and describe him as &quot;Phalanthos or Taras&quot; or simply &quot;dolphin rider&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
