Das Bild weist auf den Gründungsmythos hin: dort, wohin der angeschossene Eber flüchtete, sollte der Jäger Androklos Ephesos gründen.

When the Delphic Oracle did not select Androclus to succeed his father Codrus as king of, the young man migrated with his followers to Ionia. There, according to prophecy, a wild boar and a fish would lead him to the site where he would found a new city. While Androclus cooked a fish on an open fire, sparks ignited the nearby bushes. A wild boar, hiding in the bushes and frightened by the fire, ran out. Androclus slew the boar and founded the city of Ephesus on the site.
