Attributed to the Princeton Painter Obverse, battle scene with quadriga (4-horse chariot)Reverse, departing warriorsBattle scenes like the one on this amphora would have brought to mind Homeric passages such as this:As inhuman fire sweeps on in fury through the deep anglesof a drywood mountain and sets ablaze the depth ofthe timber and the blustering wind lashes the flamealong, so Achilleus swept everywhere with his spearlike something more than a mortal harrying them asthey died, and the black earth ran blood.(Iliad, book 20, lines 490-94)..

Terracotta hydria: kalpis (water jar) ca. 510 B.C. Attributed to the Eucharides Painter Men courting womenRespectable women spent most of their time within the confines of home under the guardianship of their fathers or husbands. One of the few times when young men could see marriageable girls was at public festivals. This scene of men holding branches and speaking with women may show such an occasion, or it may represent an encounter with professional prostitutes..

Terracotta Panathenaic prize amphora Attributed to the Kleophrades Painter ca. 500 BCE Obverse, AthenaReverse, pankration (athletic contest) and judgeAfter the mid-sixth century B.C., artists' signatures do not appear on Panathenaic prize amphorae. It seems, however, that certain artists used their own "trademark" shield devices. The Kleophrades Painter favored Pegasos, the winged horse. The reverse of this vase depicts the pankration, which combined wrestling, boxing, and kicking. The inclusion of the judge may highlight the particular danger of the event to the competitors.

They belonged to the same workshop, and in some cases as in this stamnos, Beazley was unable to make an attribution to one or the other. Some scholars have speculated that they were one artist.The subject matter shows two aspects of an Athenian citizen's life. The obverse, depicting a seated man with staff or scepter and phiale and a woman with an oinochoe, presents a solemn scene of offering. On the reverse are men and youths, mentors and future citizens. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Terracotta lekythos (oil flask) ca. 560-550 B.C. Attributed to the manner of Elbows Out Cock between two menElbows Out, the Affecter's colleague, derives his name from his distinctive stylistic idiosyncrasy. Cocks were popular gifts between men.

Terracotta Nolan neck-amphora (jar) ca. 460-450 B.C. Attributed to the Achilles Painter Obverse, woman pouring libation for AthenaReverse, youthIt is impossible to determine whether the woman pouring the libation is divine or mortal. This indefiniteness emphasizes a characteristically Greek blurring of boundaries, in this case between gods and men. The youth, who stands as a typical mortal observer on the reverse, suggests that the setting is Athens.. Terracotta Nolan neck-amphora (jar) 248732

Terracotta amphora (jar) ca. 510 B.C. Recalls the Rycroft Painter Obverse, chariot setting outReverse, frontal chariotChariot scenes are popular on black-figure vases of the late sixth century B.C. The ample surfaces provided by the newly invented amphora type A, characterized by the flanged handles and foot in two degrees, accommodated the dense compositions. As this work excellently demonstrates, artists were interested in displaying their skill, depicting the chariot in both side and front views. The scene on the obverse differs from that of the departure of Herakles for Mount Olympos only in the nature of the participants. The figures here are Greek hoplites. In the apotheosis of Herakles, the figures are gods, as indicated by their attributes.. Terracotta amphora (jar) 247236

Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water) ca. 520-510 B.C. Attributed to the Lykomedes Painter Within the mouth, ships and dolphinsOn the body, obverse, the struggle between Herakles and Apollo for the Delphic tripod; reverse, onlookersRepresentations of Herakles' attempt to seize the tripod from the oracle of Apollo at Delphi were popular in Attic vase-painting from the end of the sixth century B.C. to the mid-fifth. In addition to featuring the local hero, Herakles, they afforded artists the opportunity to depict two male figures in motion. This challenge particularly interested practitioners of the newly introduced red-figure technique, but it also spurred black-figure artists who wished to remain up-to-date..

Terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl). Culture: Greek, South Italian, Lucanian. Dimensions: H. 12 1/16 in. (30.6 cm)diameter 12 1/2 in. (31.8 cm). Date: ca. 400-390 B.C..Obverse, scene from a phlyax play. Reverse, three youthsThe representation shows a stage structure at the far right and the characters of a phlyax play, a type of farce favored in Southern Italy. A recent interpretation characterizes the two male figures in the center as accomplices about to steal the hag's goose and kid or to defy her threats to turn them in. Written in Attic Greek, the inscriptions indicate that the farce originated in mainland Greece but do not explain the story. Formerly attributed to the Tarporley Painter, a major Apulian master, the vase is now recognized as Lucanian under Apulian influence. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: ca. 480-470 B.C..Obverse, Herakles and Dionysos in OlymposReverse, Dionysos with Olympian deitiesThis vase is the only known preserved example of a combination psykter and column-krater. The psykter emerged at the end of the sixth century B.C. and had a short and rare existence. Its distinctive shape allowed it to contain wine and remain upright in a krater filled with cold water or snow. In the present piece, the krater has a double wall; openings at the top and bottom of the body allowed cold water to be poured in and to flow out.The figural scenes show Dionysos, god of wine, and Herakles, the hero and protégé of Athena, on Mount Olympos, the home of the gods. The obverse depicts Dionysos with Ariadne and Herakles with Nike. On the reverse, Hera, Zeus, Athena, and Leto approach the seated Dionysos. Most of the names o

Eos is so close that she almost touches the youth and their feet overlap, but the artist makes the distance between them eternal. The figure on the reverse has not attracted Eos's interest.

Vessel, Mythological Scene 7th-8th century Attributed to the Metropolitan Painter This cylindrical drinking cup is the magnum opus of the Maya vase painter known as the Metropolitan Master. It contains one of the finest extant deity portraits from the Classic Maya corpus. The young rain god, named Chahk, poses mid-stride, lifting off his left foot and extending the right leg in front of him, gracefully pointing his toes. The underside of each leg is marked with a scale pattern, evoking a shimmering and wet aquatic creature. He wears a complex loincloth that shows the typical knotted cotton of his costuming, and the rear panel of the loincloth contorts as if the artist was referencing a fish tail. The necklace of Chahk is quite unique: the collar consists of pendant extruded eyeballs and the pectoral is in the shape of an upside-down water jar marked with the hieroglyph for darkness, with what looks like a small serpent emerging from its mouth. His other jewels on the ankles and wrists
