On the other hand, the style is identical to the obverses of the larger denomination at Elateia (BCD 417.1–4) with which BCD associated these small coins.

The replacement of Bellerophon by the more familiar culture hero Perseus was a development of Classical times that was standardized during the Middle Ages and has been adopted by the European poets of the Renaissance and later.
