FOREWORD The collection of Greek vases in the Detroit Institute of Arts, while fairly large and containing representative examples broadly distributed across the large schools of Greek vase painting, is little known nor well published. Over the course of the twentieth century, the collection has been developed by museum purchase, as well as from gifts, the two largest discrete blocks of added vases being a large number from Gotha in the 1920’s and a smaller group of vases from the Hearst collection in the 1960’s. Despite the imbalance that such large acquisitions and gifts sometimes produce, judicious acquisition over time has resulted in a collection which encompasses a considerable range of vase types, subject matter, and chronology. The goal of the present catalogue is to make available those vases from two of the schools of Greek vase painting, the Athenian and the Corinthian, leaving aside the substantial collection of South Italian vases for separate treatment. The vases presented here are those from these two poleis decorated in the geometric, the black-gure and the red-gure styles. The catalogue includes white-ground vases and those without gural decoration, but with black- or red-gure techniques; black glaze pottery is not included. The terms used to describe the attribution to artists in a catalogue including both Attic and Corinthian vases pose a problem of consistency. The identication of Athenian painters will necessarily be built on the connoisseurship of John Beazley, who employed a vast array of terminology for describing the attribution of vases by painting style and shape. While Beazley insisted that the terms he employed had specic, non-interchangeable meanings, the full range of this terminology has not been practiced in subsequent scholarship. And for vases outside of Attic black- and redgure, in the present case Geometric, Proto-Corinthian, and Corinthian, neither the current state of the scholarship nor the nature of the material lend support for invoking this sense of precision. But even for Attic black- and red-gure, I have not presumed to attempt Beazley’s range of distinctions. Martin Robertson’s lucid discussion of Beazley’s terms included in Beazley Addenda has been accepted here as a guide. I have chosen not to overplay my hand, and err on the side of conservatism. When I nd various aspects of a vase’s painted decoration to be notably close to the style of an identied painter, but certain details of the painting, or perhaps the condition of the painting do not leave me fully convinced of the attribution, I indicate this by Beazley’s term “manner.” Vases are assigned to a “class” or a “group” established by Beazley according to the dening characteristics of vase shape or painting style, respectively. I use “related” only in the case of one Corinthian vase to indicate an afnity in painting style with a previously identied painter. Although both Beazley and Robertson express some ill ease with the term “workshop”, I have used it for three vases that I connect with the Bedlam Painter, but which, being without gural decoration, seem to be the sort of things that could be turned out in large numbers by any of a group of craftsmen, without the reasonable possibility of identifying an individual painter. Attributions cited without a published reference are those which have been communicated to the museum verbally or in writing. If comparanda were given for such attributions, the scholar’s name is indicated in brackets. Comparanda in support of my own attributions of which photographs are only available, so far as I am aware, in the Beazley Archive at Oxford are included when they seem particularly apposite. Otherwise, Beazley’s listing or a published source are given. The sole exception is Palermo N.I. 1720 (catalogue no. 6) which is unpublished so far as I am aware.

A large number of vases derive from the Gotha Museum, and the collection of Duke, later Prince, Albert. In the provenance entry for these vases, the number assigned to the vase in the D.I.A.’s original list of that collection is given. Only rarely does that list also record a “catalogue number”, presumably that of the Gotha Museum; they are noted along with the D.I.A.’s list number. Many of the vases from Gotha also have a separate number for the Collection of Duke Albert (“H.A.”); these are also given in the provenance entry. In the concordance of earlier collections, both the D.I.A.’s list number and the Albert Collection number are recorded. As a number of the vases derive from earlier collections, restoration is a potential problem for the understanding of both painting style and iconography. Such restorations are described under the entry for condition. Descriptions of the vase and its painted decoration aspire to record those elements which are not apparent from the photograph. The vases are illustrated, so far as possible, with the professional photographs of the museum. Only where such photographs or details do not exist have I resorted to my own photographs.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The peculiar pleasure in nishing a project such as this is the opportunity to express my appreciation to those whose contributions have not only made the work possible, but also made it enjoyable. Foremost, my thanks to Bill Peck, who was curator of the collection of ancient art at the Detroit Institute of Arts during the long span of the work. Bill had long recognized the need for the museum’s collection to be made available to the scholarly audience, and had begun working on the publication himself. His enthusiasm for the publication of the Greek vases was manifest not only in the unstinting support for moving the work forward, but his unagging willingness to grant access to the collection, and the records bearing on its development. I also owe a similar debt to other members of the curatorial staff of the Department of Ancient Art, Elsie Peck and Penelope Slough. In the nal stages of preparation of the text, George Keyes and Brian Gallagher, curators of the museum, continually aided in settling the numerous small details. During a visit to the Beazley Archive at Oxford University early on in the project, Donna Kurtz and John Boardman were models of scholarly courtesy and efciency, as well as personal warmth in helping me to make the fullest possible use of that extraordinary resource. Two anonymous reviewers for Brill have added immeasurably to improving the nal product in catching the gaffes, large and small. Sylvia Inwood of the museum’s Rights and Reproductions Department, with unagging good humour, devoted her careful attention to the many challenges of accurately working up the numerous photographs of the mostly unpublished objects that the catalogue involves. Sarah Bassett was a constant source of wise council, most particularly with respect to football aryballoi. Kim Fiona Plas of Brill Publishing has kept her hands on the tiller of the project, always a reliable source of information on the details of the publishing process, and lending just the right touch of auctoritas to avoid the shoals. I would also like to express my appreciation for the critical collaborative work of library staffs, the interlibrary loan ofce at Wayne State University, and the circulation staff at the University of Michigan library, without whose labours, none of this could have proceeded. It is also a pleasure to acknowledge at this point the contribution of nancial resources, practical yet absolutely critical to the completion of such a project. The visit to the Beazley Archives was made possible by a faculty research grant from the provost’s ofce of Wayne State University. And the heavy load of photographic costs late in the project was subvented by a research grant generously provided by Dean Sharon Vasquez of the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts at Wayne State University. Finally, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the personal support of Cressida, who early on endured the absences of the work, and who, while doubting that the project would ever be done, never failed to point out the manifold ways in which it does not rise to the level of science.

CHAPTER ONE
CORINTHIAN GEOMETRIC 1. Geometric Oinochoe, 76.97 Fig. 1
what Weinberg has described as the Protocorinthian Geometric.
Shape and ornament: Coldstream’s lekythosoinochoe. Nearly straight, conical base, tall tapering neck, trefoil mouth and ribbon handle. Surface covered by ne horizontal glaze lines except as follows: near the top of the body, a band of double outline, hatched triangles; below, a dotted lozenge chain, with dots in the interstices. At the centre of the neck, a multiple zigzag with vertical bars on the apices; anked above and below by dotted lozenge chains as on the body. A glaze band at the juncture of the body and neck. Mouth glazed with interior reserved; reserved circle on lip to either side of mouth with swastika. Handle decorated with horizontal banding. Underside of base reserved. The extension of linear decoration over the entire surface of the vase, replacing the dark glaze, begins on oinochoe on the Middle Geometric II (Coldstream 1968, 96). The tendency reaches its fullest extent in the Late Corinthian period, but normally with a black band surviving at the bottom of the vessel (Weinberg 1941, 34). Similarly, the extended height of the Detroit vase, and the elongation of the body and attening of the contour give it an afnity with examples of the early Protocorinthian period ( Johansen 1923, 81; Coldstream 1968, 107). The decoration of the vessel is with exclusively geometric motifs, without any of the gural or curvilinear devices that are introduced in Protocorinthian period, but the use of such geometric decorations persists on this vase form well into the Protocorinthian period (Dunbabin 1962, 35). The combination of Late Geometric elements combined with elements of the developing Protocorinthian is consistent with

A banquet scene on one side and horsemen on the other constitute the favoured subjects of the Detroit Painter on the vases attributed to him or possibly his (Amyx 1988, I: 196, II: 947). All these surviving attributed vases are column kraters, where these subjects work well with the broad registers. This narrow range of subject matter caused Benson (1956, 228) to name the painter of the Detroit vase and two others as the Banquet Scene Painter. And he further attributed to this painter the banquet side of a vase in Paris (Louvre E 634), while the rest of the vase he assigned to the Three Maidens Painter, positing an important case of different painters collaborating on a single vase. Amyx questioned the strategy of identifying painters by choice of subject (Amyx 1961, 10–11, n. 31) as insufciently distinctive given the commonness of the subjects. He therefore proposed naming the painter after the Detroit collection, which was not well known, even though the surface of the Detroit vase is poorly preserved. Amyx neither saw the banquet side of Louvre E 634 as by the Detroit Painter, nor agreed that there was any compelling evidence for painters collaborating on the Corinthian vases under consideration (Amyx 1961, 8). Bakir (1974, 44–48), considering the Detroit vase as a part of the Three Maidens Group, placed it relatively to the other vases assigned to the same painter at the chronological middle of the painter’s career. Some details of the representation: while a banquet is not an unusual subject, the inclusion of
females (hetairai) with the males on the banquet scene of the Detroit vase is (Amyx 1988, II: 647). Further, it is possible to detect inscribed lines inside the contours of the legs, tails, and heads of the horses on B. The poor surface preservation bars certainty, but this would appear to indicate two overlapping horses in each case, comparable to the same arrangement on the vase once on the Basel Market by the Detroit Painter (Benson 1969: 121, no. 7 and pl. 37, g. 16). Attribution and date: As name piece of Detroit Painter by Amyx; to the Banquet Scene Painter by Benson; Middle Corinthian; 600 to 575 B.C. Dimensions and condition: Height: 42.3 cm.

The vase exhibits features the majority of which place it within the Middle Geometric II/Strong Geometric II. However, there are some residual elements of Middle Geometric I/Strong Geometric I. To the earlier style belongs the rather more pronounced curve to the body than the atter prole typical of the later (Coldstream 1968, 24). The use of double ancillary bands above and below the principal meander also deviates from the characteristic later pattern of single ancillary bands (Coldstream 1968, 24). Compare, for example, Kerameikos 4728 (Bohen 1988, no. 130: 31, 90, pl. 11.5) with Kerameikos 2591 (Bohen 1988, no. 137: 35, 91, pl. 11.6) But the larger diameter, at 25 cm., falls into the pattern for the Middle Geometric II. Likewise, the broader base

chapter three
in proportion to the rim (Coldstream 1968, 23) suggests the later phase. The use of a knob in the shape of a pyxis on a ribbed stand also conrms the later date (Coldstream 1968, 23). Finally, in contrast with Coldstream’s observation that the contours of the meanders in the Middle Geometric II are often less neatly drawn than formerly (Coldstream 1968, 23–24), those on the Detroit vase are more careful than the norm.

Goddess and columns stand on thin black groundline. Vertical inscription to right of left column. B: Footrace: 1–4: nude males running right. In his study of the correspondence between the statues represented standing on columns anking Athena on Panathenaic prize amphoras and the archons of Athens, Eschbach groups the Detroit
vase with Thebes A 377 and Berlin, Staaliche Museen 3980 as belonging to the tenure of Philokles, 392/1 B.C. (Eschbach 1986, 18–26), although the Detroit vase lacks an archon inscription. The association of these vases relies on the identity of the gures on the columns, a bearded male, in himation, with a cornucopia. The attributes carried in the right hand differ from case to case, on the Detroit vase probably a thyrsos. The statue represented by these gures, best preserved among the vases on the Detroit example, has been identied by Eschbach (1986, 23–26) as Pluton/Hades, dating at the latest to the very early years of the fourth century B.C. However, Meyer questioned the reliability of Eschbach’s approach for determining dating, since the style appeared to date the vase later in the century (Meyer 1987, 143). E. Bell thought the statues appeared more like magistrates holding the attributes of divinities rather than gods themselves, and suggested on the basis of stylistic aspects of the painting a date in the 370’s B.C. (Moon and Berge 1979, 222–23). Bentz (1998, 167), following Meyer’s critique, has concurred with the dating in the 370’s on the evidence of the vase shape. D. Kyle has pointed out that the length of the stride of the runners and the sweep of their arms on B (and one might add the spacing of the runners across the surface) indicates that the vase depicts one of the longer footraces (Neils 1992, 83).

Side A adopts the scene of Herakles wrestling the lion on the ground, a variation on the labour introduced by Exekias (Boardman 1978, 14) and which enjoys considerable popularity thereafter. The Detroit vase follows Exekias’ model in having Herakles’ near leg raised off the ground, as if the hero has just leapt onto the lion and is bearing down all his weight. The surviving fragments of Exekias’ version (Boardman 1978, ill. 1) show the hero’s hands locked together, so that he apparently does not fend off a counter by the lion with a rear leg. The response by the lion is a regular feature of later depictions of the subject, even among artists associated with the Lysippides Painter (Boardman 1978, 14–15 and gs. 1a–b), a group in which the Detroit vase has been placed stylistically. On a vase in Philadelphia (University Museum MS 3497) which Beazley saw as related to both Exekias and the Lysippides Painter, the central section with the hero and the lion is missing. However, it is clear that Herakles wraps his arms around the lion, and since only one rear paw of the lion is apparent on the ground, the other leg must be in the clawing response. But the Detroit vase follows the model of Exekias only in focusing all attention on Herakles pressing down upon his opponent, without adopting the motifs there of the hero’s locked hands, or the clawing response of the lion. The ovoid form on the Detroit example which overlaps the lion’s neck, and cannot be accounted for as part of the lion’s anatomy may be Herakles’ left forearm, wrapped around the beast’s neck. This requires imagining a preternaturally long upper arm, but the arrangement is paralleled (e.g., Villa Giulia 859). Attribution and date: By W. Moon and L. Berge to the Manner of the Lysippides Painter; ca. 520 B.C. Dimensions and condition: Height: 45.5 cm. Diameter: 29.3 cm. Outer diameter of mouth: 20.6 cm. Diameter of foot: 16.5 cm.

Following the usual convention for a quadriga in prole, the trace horses of the quadriga on A are shown ahead of the pole horses (Moore and Bothmer 1972, 1). The reins of the two pair of horses are held by the charioteer, and two by the mounting warrior, as if these horses have just been harnessed (although no groom is shown). This is perhaps meant to indicate that the warrior himself has harnessed the pole horses whose reins he apparently holds, and will pass those reins to the charioteer once in the car.

The attendants of the hoplites on B (B:2 and 4) wear hats to distinguish them as such, and which are vaguely reminiscent of the soft hats worn by Skythians.
Grafti: drawing 1. side A: to left of body scene 1, along ground-line of shoulder scene:
The grafti on B, while they sometimes wander into the shoulder scene, seem to be coordinated with the scene on the body, as they usually fall between the heads of the gures there. In this respect they are similar to identifying labels. Nevertheless, they are inscribed, and in their forms have similarities with grafti of commercial or personal signicance. These, however, are normally on the undersides of bases. The rst grafto is the only one which by its position might belong to the shoulder scene. If the strokes of this rst grafto are numerals, this would suggest that these grafti are considerably later than the manufacture of the vase itself, as such extensive numerals are more commonly found on vases of later date ( Johnston 1979, 28).

Below gural zone, an upright lotus bud chain, framed by double glaze lines. Rays at base. Fillet between body and foot red. Lower edge of foot reserved. Subject: A: Frontal chariot (quadriga) with charioteer and warrior inside. 1: charioteer in chiton, head turned to left, apparently holding the goad (kentron) which runs diagonally behind the horses. 2: warrior’s head in Corinthian helmet, with two spears he holds, facing right. B: Departure: male between two mounted warriors. 1: frontal male on horse, wearing cuirass and Corinthian helmet, holding two spears, head turned to right. 2: male in chiton, mantle and llet, with staff, facing right. 3: frontal male on horse, wearing chitoniskos and llet, holding two spears, head turned to left. The frontal chariot as on A is a composition whose origin is disputed. Beazley (1964, 43) thought it originated in Corinthian painting, while Moore (1971, 412) felt that the earliest examples in Attic vase painting are at least as early as the Corinthian. The example in Detroit by the Edinburgh Painter is remarkable in that it exceptionally reverts to the very much older composition of showing only the front legs of the horses (Moore 1971, 413). The reason would seem not far to seek. The same composition is employed on the vase in Würzburg assigned by Beazley to “the Edinburgh Painter or very near him.” The larger size of that amphora allows the painter room to depict the horses’ rear legs, and even the luxury of anking the chariot with a pair of hounds. On the small amphora in Detroit, all is compressed horizontally: the spears and goad take more vertical positions,
21
the chariot is diminished in width, the pole horses must overlap their heads, and the four horses have become bipedal. However, the same composition as on the B side of the Detroit vase, a standing gure between two frontal horsemen, is used on Brussels R319, described by Beazley as “near the Edinburgh Painter”. The A side of the Brussels vase is a chariot, but depicted turning, a more complicated spatial depiction. The Brussels vase is even smaller than the Detroit example, yet on the B side the frontal horses are rendered as quadrupeds. The greater space on the Detroit vase is reected in the staff held by the central male, and the horizontal spears of the horsemen. The absolute size of the amphora is therefore not an entirely compelling explanation of the reduction of the horses on the Detroit vase to two legs, and perhaps the intention is to add a touch of the archaic.

The wheeling chariot composition here on side A offers a variation of the motif of the added opponent, rst seen on vases attributed to the Manner of the Princeton Painter (Moore 1971, 417–418), here collapsing onto one knee. This motif is further combined in this example with the motif, occasional in Antimenean painters, of the noses of the pole horses overlapping (Moore 1971, 418–19), here with the comic effect that their seem to share nostrils.

On side A, the use of a chariot, rather than a mule-drawn wagon, to transport the bridal pair reects the world of gods and heroes rather than of mortals (Krauskopf 1977, 24–27), but it cannot be dismissed that a mortal marriage is being given a divine comparison with their chariot and company of gods (Krauskopf 1977 and Connor 1979). The reduction here to the essential characters and absence of mortal wedding gifts, vases and baskets, may give a slight advantage to the interpretation of the marriage pair as Zeus and Hera in the hieros gamos. As Dionysos sometimes appears as one of the gods in attendance to the procession (Connor 1979), the subject on side B may be linked to the marriage on side A.

ston 1979, 207). The set on the rim may represent a personal mark, or bear some commercial signicance. If the attribution to the Antimenes group is accurate, it is in accord with the prominence of such marks on vases of that group ( Johnston 1979, 12 and 56). Further, black-gured kraters make up a small number of vases with such marks, so that the Detroit example provides evidence for the hypothesis that at least some kraters were traded with such marks, like other better represented shapes ( Johnston 1979, 36).

This example of a mark does not appear in Johnston’s catalogue, and does not appear to match closely any of the types dened there. It is not clear if the larger group on the rim is intended as a ligature. The X at the centre of the foot, and the left mark on the rim may correspond to chi, but as Johnston points out it was used so often, it is difcult to determine if a letter is intended, or whether the vase was simply being marked ( John-

The arrangement on the body here is the variation developed in Attic vase painting where Herakles stands with his foot up on the pithos about the drop the boar down into the vase where the terried Eurystheus hides. This moment in the story is occasionally embellished as here with attendant gures around the central group of Herakles, the boar and Eurystheus. (LIMC IV, s.v. Herakles; Luce, 1924, 314–18) Frequently these comprise divinities, in the Detroit case Athena, Herakles’
29
protector, Hermes, who seems to be directing by gesture where the hero should deposit his burden, and Dionysos. The appearance of Dionysos is exceptional as he is not directly connected with this labour. His presence may be to comment on the use of the pithos, more appropriate to the storage of wine, but pressed into service by Eurystheus as a hiding place. But Dionysos is the one gure who looks away from the central action, out of the scene to the left, the direction from which Herakles has arrived, and the reference here may be to what has come before rather than the current action. Apollodorus (2.5.4) describes Herakles’ ght with the centaurs at the cave of Pholus as a side adventure within the hero’s journey to nd the boar. Linking the two stories is the shared wine jar (pithos) of Dionysos; in Pholus’ cave opening it elicits the attack of centaurs. If Apollodorus’ chronology of Herakles’ exploits follows an older tradition, the presence of Dionysos on the vase may be to draw the audience’s attention to these sequential narratives involving a pithos as a plot device. Closer to the date of the vase, Sophokles, Trachiniae 1095–97, places the centauromachy at Pholus’ cave as the exploit immediately preceding that of the boar, so the chronological sequence of the centauromachy and the capture of the boar may not be the invention of Apollodorus. Besides the gathering of gods, one or two women without attributes also make occasional appearances in this labour, as here. On a vase by Oltos (Louvre G17, ARV2 62.83) one such gure is identied by inscription as a local nymph, another as Eurystheus’ wife. In cases were there are no inscriptions, only the frightened gestures suggest an identication of such ancillary gures as Eurystheus’ wife and daughter (Leningrad 1522 (St. 49), ABV 284.10) (Schauenburg, 1970, 41–42; Beckel, 1961, 56). As one woman on the Detroit vase seizes Herakles from behind in a fruitless effort to restrain him, and the other at the far right raises on hand in surprise, the two should be identied as the wife and daughter of Eurystheus. The broad eld of the shoulder panel offers the painter enough space for an expansive Amazonomachy. Despite this, the painter does not

chapter four
revert to the arrangement of the battle which developed before the middle of the century with what Bothmer describes as “complete groups”, that is, pairs of duelling antagonists, even though the number of gures employed here allows for just such a composition (von Bothmer, 1957, 30–35). Although only one Amazon is given added white for esh, and notably not Andromache, the shared weaponry, armour, tunic decorations, and shield devices indicate that Herakles is alone here among ve Amazons. Only the Corinthian helmet worn by 1 is distinguishing, and, although unusual for Amazons, not unknown. The Amazons on either side of the central pair of Herakles and Andromache should be understood as rushing to the aid of their queen. This arrangement of the central Herakles group being anked by one or more helping Amazons takes hold after the middle of the century as an adaptation of the duelling composition to the more restricted space available on an amphora’s panel (von Bothmer, 1957, 37–42). The painter of the Detroit vase has integrated this newer compositional device back into the broader space available on the hydria’s shoulder. The framing Amazons on either end in their determined movements away from the centre should be understood as taking on foes beyond view, rather than eeing.

CHAPTER FIVE
ATTIC RED-FIGURE AND WHITE-GROUND Stamnoi
61. Attic Stamnos, 24.13 Figs. 86–87 Shape and ornament: Stamnos, with sharply inclined, slightly curving handles. Mouth in two degrees. Ridge at juncture of neck and body. Handles cylindrical. Fillet with ridge in centre at juncture of body and torus foot. Interior completely glazed. Egg pattern on mouth. Shoulder tongues framed by reserved line above, reserved and glaze line below. Figural zone provided with reserved ground-line. Lower edge of foot reserved. Subject: A: Hermes conducting two goddesses. 1: goddess in chiton and mantle, holds dove, facing right. 2: goddess in chiton and mantle, holds sceptre, facing right. 3: Hermes in chitoniskos, chlamys, winged boots, and petasos, holding kerykeion, walking right, head turned left. B: woman with two attendants. 1: woman in chiton, mantle, and llet, facing right. 2: woman in peplos and mantle, holds mirror, facing right, head turned to left. 3: woman in chiton, mantle and llet, facing left. The presence of Hermes on side A makes it clear that this should be understood as a scene from the broader subject of the Judgment of Paris, the conducting of the goddesses to Mt. Ida to be judged by the Trojan prince. The identication of the subject is complicated by the appearance of only two goddesses with Hermes. As the top of the staff held by A:2 is restored, only its thickness and the internal lines suggesting a faceted surface indicate that it is a sceptre rather than a spear. Beazley and Clairmont took it as a spear, and therefore identied her as
Athena. Raab (1972, 89–90, 171), in recognition of the damage, thought it more likely a sceptre. Accordingly, the gure should be Hera, not Athena. The dove held by A:1 is paralleled as an attribute of Aphrodite in depictions of the Judgment on Attic and south Italian vases (Raab 1972, 85; LIMC VII, s.v. Parides iudicum, pl. 127, no. 108). Without any of the normal attributes, A:1 is difcult to identify as Athena, who therefore is absent. The woman at the centre of the second side, B:2, was identied by Clairmont as Aphrodite in the company of two Horai. She is sometimes shown in this fashion at the Judgment, preening, accompanied by attendants (compare LIMC VII, s.v. Parides iudicum, pl. 109, no. 20). This visual presentation of the goddess here is paralleled in Sophokles’ satyr play on the Judgment of Paris, in which Aphrodite’s concern with her beauty, as with B:2, is embodied in the motif of the mirror [Fr. 361 P.]. Clairmont speculated that B:3, as a Hora, might hold a piece of fruit, but damage to the vase in this area makes it impossible to determine what, if anything, was held in the left hand. Alternately, the woman preening herself at the centre of B is the mortal pendant to the beauteous goddesses, and the visual ellipsis of the full procession on side A is employed to balance both sides of the vase with three-gure compositions.

Subject: Continuous frieze of women in a procession. A: 1 [underneath left handle]: woman in chiton and mantle, with llet, facing right. 2: woman in chiton, mantle, and fillet, holding skyphos, walking right. 3: woman in chiton, mantle, llet, and wreath, holding parasol (skiadeion), walking right, head turned left. 4: woman in chiton, mantle, and wreath, playing krotala, walking right. 5 [underneath right handle]: woman in chiton, mantle, and llet, holding skyphos, walking right. B: 1: woman in chiton, mantle, and llet, walking left, head turned right. 2: woman in chiton, mantle, and sakkos, with llet and wreath, holding skyphos, facing right, in front of chair (klismos). 3: woman in chiton, mantle, and wreath, playing aulos, walking right. The vase is one of a group referred to as Lenaia vases because of their initial association (Frickenhaus 1912) with that Dionysian cult, although whether they depict events of that cult or of the same god’s Anthesteria is a matter of long dispute (Hamilton 2003). The Villa Giulia Painter produced a series of stamnoi, including the Detroit vase, which are not only included in this group, but are all very close in composition and iconography: Boston 90.155, Louvre G408, and Florence 4005. The women on these stamnoi have attributes, skyphoi, krotala (castanets) and aulos (double utes), consistent with the celebrations of Dionysian cult. And although the women on the Detroit vase are dressed in a manner appropriate to Athenian women, one (A:4), she playing the krotala, has her hair loose, in the manner of a maenad. All this is consistent with Athenian women acting the parts of maenads in the worship of Dionysos, and is supported by another stamnoi by the Villa Giulia Painter, depicting the women with the same attributes in the presence of an image of the god: Louvre C 10762, and Boston 90.155. The depiction of the procession on the Detroit vase is erratic: the musicians play, but the other gures move left or right, and some stand still. As Maurizio (2001, 29–32) points out, the processions identied with the Anthesteria were markedly informal and practiced in smaller social units, in contrast with
attic red-figure and white-ground the cults under strict state control. It is probably not necessary to conclude with Miller (1992, 101) that the painter is being careless in substituting the parasol in the hands of A:3 for the more appropriate thyrsos, or including the chair, incongruous with a procession or a setting in a shrine. As both occur regularly in depictions of Dionysian processions and cult, there is no need to argue them away. The Villa Giulia Painter himself has a woman holding a parasol in the presence of an image of the god on Louvre C 10762, and the chair appears with the women on the opposite side from the image of the god on Boston 90.155. And chairs are carried in processions of the Anthesteria as part of the ritual marriage between Dionysos and the wife of the archon basileus (Simon 1963, 11–12): London E 465 and Louvre G 422.

Kraters
63. Attic Column Krater, 24.120 Figs. 90–91 Shape and ornament: Flaring rim, slightly convex on top. Neck slightly concave. Handles cylindrical. Fillet at juncture of body and foot. Foot in two degrees. Interior completely glazed. Lotus bud chain with dots on top of rim. Inner and outer edge of rim red. Side of rim decorated with vine, with glaze line at bottom. Top surfaces of horizontal extensions decorated with upright palmette and vines. Neck on side A decorated with lotus bud chain with dots between. Undersides of extensions for handles reserved. Figural zones bordered above with row of tongues, thin red line and reserved line below, and on each side an ivy vine framed by glaze lines. Rays at base of body. Lower edge of foot reserved, with red line at end of glaze. Subject: A: Helios driving his chariot (biga). 1: Helios in chitoniskos, short mantle, and wreath, with sun disk on his head, holding goad (kentron) in right hand, in chariot to right. Irregular groundline indicating the sea, with dolphin beneath horses. B: two athletes and a youth. 1: nude athlete, with llet, striding left, head turned to right. 2: youth in mantle and llet, facing left. 3: nude athlete with llet, striding right, head turned left. The depiction of Helios on the principal side places this image at a juncture in the development of the divinity’s iconography. The earliest appearances of Helios in anthropomorphic form in Attic black-gure of the late 6th and early 5th centuries B.C. typically depict him frontally in his chariot and bearded (Lacroix 1974, 92–98; Yalouris 1980, 316–17; LIMC V, addenda, s.v. Helios, pp. 1008–11). This form survives briey into red-gure on a polychrome bobbin by a follower of the Brygos Painter (Agora P5113, LIMC V, addenda, s.v. Helios, p. 1009 no. 11). That bobbin already incorporates a change in Helios’ iconography which also appears in late black-gure, the depiction of him as a youthful, beardless gure. The
Detroit vase is among the earliest examples of the shift in the depiction of Helios in a chariot seen in prole, yet maintains the older iconography of a bearded gure. The peculiar position of the Detroit vase with respect to the changing iconography of Helios has involved the vase in discussion of the introduction of Helios into depictions of the gigantomachy. Helios wears a cuirass in the gigantomachy on a fragmentary vase by the Pronomos Painter (ARV2 1338), a depiction thought to reect the same subject on the interior of the shield of Pheidias’ Athena Parthenos, The Detroit vase has been thought also to show Helios in a cuirass, and therefore raised questions about the origin and signicance of such iconography (Schauenburg 1955, 70, n. 320; Dörig and Gigon 1961, 56 and 85, n. 33; Schauenburg 1962, 53 and n. 30). Dörig and Gigon credit Pheidias with introducing the cuirass into the iconography of Helios, but that creates the chronological difculty of dating the Detroit vase later than the Athena Parthenos, 438 B.C. Schauenburg rst associated the appearance of Helios in a cuirass and therefore the Detroit with his participation in the gigantomachy. The entire situation turns on the appearance of the cuirass on the vase. In favour of this interpretation, there are no interior details on Helios’ garb above the waist, while the lower portion of the chitoniskos is drawn with numerous folds. However, against this interpretation are other details. The short sleeve at the top of the right arm has a hemmed edge, without indication of the shoulder lappet of a cuirass. A curving form extends down from the front of Helios’ waist onto the upper portions of the thighs, ending in a series of scallops. The extent this hangs down onto the thighs is too long to match a cuirass. Moreover, the scallops suggest soft cloth rather than leather or metal. Finally, the belt cinching the chitoniskos is apparent at the back of the waist. Thus the curving form on the front should more likely be understood as a kolpos, appearing only in the front as Helios leans forward. If the bulk of the visual evidence is against a cuirass, then Schauenburg’s identication of the
attic red-figure and white-ground subject of the Detroit vase as Helios participating in the gigantomachy has less force, and the issues of the relationship between the vase and Pheidias’ rendering of that subject all dissolve. Appropriately, this less militant Helios drives a biga rather than a quadriga, since it is the quadriga which is described as Helios’ chariot in the epic Titanomachia, when Helios declines to join the other titans in attacking the gods (frags. 4 and 11). There remains the issue of the beard indicating an older immortal. The painter’s retention of this older iconography may be to invoke the image of the primordial god, father of all things (Sophokles, TGF IV F 752; and Suda, s.v. ƵƲƫƵưƱƣƵưƲƧƳ).

chapter five
The painting of the Detroit vase shares with the work of the Toya Painter a number of specic parallels which suggest the attribution. The front of the peplos is congured with a triangular panel at the centre of the overfall below the belt. The overfall ends in a broad band broken into one or more shallow arcs, continuing across the gure as a series of dashes or dots. A similar broad band decorates the lower hem of the peplos, which is then echoed by a series of dots or circles slightly above it. Other garments sport a similar broad band at the hems. Male anatomy features a squared pectoral muscle, which is complemented with a squared epigastric arch. The upper edge of the male mantle worn by the trio of gures on the B sides is often rendered by a series of diagonal and rapidly drawn lines. The wings of the frequent Eros gures are congured with a broad crowning stripe, with a series of echoing rows of dots beneath it. Flowers decorating crowns worn by a number of his gures are rendered with vertical strokes, giving them the appearance of radiate crowns. The subject of side A of the Detroit vase nds a close parallel on Louvre G519, an unattributed vase which must be near to the Toya Painter if not by him. The central group of Eros and a maenad on each follow the same gural composition, although the Eros in the Louvre vase does not seem to hold a shield, the two gures of Eros a virtually duplicates; the maenad differs only in the position of her proper right arm. The satyr framing the scene on the right of the Detroit vase repeats the maenad on the left of the Paris vase, save for the appropriate turn of the head to view the central excitement. The B side of the Paris vase is more summarily rendered than the Detroit example, though they share the three-gure composition with the paraphernalia of the palaistra. Dimensions and condition: Height: 39.5 cm. Width at mouth: 35.6 cm. Width of body: 21.7 cm. Width of foot: 14.7 cm. Broken and repaired.

Subject: A: Procession. 1: man with llet, short mantle over shoulder, and staff, facing right. 2: man with llet, short mantle over shoulders, barbiton and plectrum, striding right, head turned left. 3: woman in llet, chiton and mantle, playing aulos, walking right. 4: boy in llet and mantle, holding torch, walking right, head turned to left. B: Palaistra scene. 1: man in mantle, holding strigil, facing right. 2: man in mantle with staff, facing right. 3: man in mantle, facing left. Writing slate with stylus hanging between 2 & 3. As the combination of participants here and their attributes do not seem to correspond to a religious or state procession, it can probably be described as an informal, private one. The affected sauntering of the gure (A:1) who is accompanied by the musicians and the torch bearer suggests a wry treatment by the painter of a man off to a night of symposium participation. The barbiton and the aulos as instruments one might expect to nd performed at a symposium make appropriate accompanists (West 1994, 57–59), but there may also be a further underscoring of gentle mockery in that Anakreon was specically associated with this long-armed version of the lyre (Suda s.v. barbiton). The reverse offers another and perhaps
51
contrasting aspect of male life, the athletic arena. The same procession, indicated by the barbiton, aulos and torch, paired with the scene of youths on the opposite side is employed by the Christie Painter on bell kraters several times (Hornbostel 1980, 143–45).

Water ows from the waterspout. The identication of the subject has been addressed by Keuls (Keuls 1997, 236, and Keuls 1985, 235), who admits to the controversial nature of the large group of vases showing genre scenes of male/female interaction with a potential sexual or romantic connotation. Keuls interprets the
scene here as one of molestation of a group of women at a fountain house. The women in her view cannot be slaves because they are dressed too well. The vase therefore depicts a group of Athenian housewives or the daughters of a household fending off the unwanted sexual advances of two men. Scholarship since Keuls has addressed in greater detail the subject of prostitution and its operation in Athens, and has questioned her rigid division of women into two all-inclusive categories of “housewife and hetaira” (Davidson 1997, 73–77; Cohen, 2003). A separate body of scholarly literature on the social status of women who appear in genre scenes of this type generally acknowledges the potential for ambiguity, but considers a wider range of examples from which to draw conclusions (Sutton 1981; Williams, 1983; Meyer 1988). The interpretation by Keuls is awed by assumptions that prove unlikely and by failing to account for critical iconographic details. That prostitutes, therefore presumably slaves, would not be dressed in ne clothing, is contradicted by the substantial incomes that prostitutes could earn in Athens (Loomis 1998, 166–85, 309–12, 334–35). The woman at the centre, young to judge by her hair hanging down to her shoulders, whom Keuls describes as gesturing in protest with her left hand, in fact holds a coin rendered in red. The male holds out to her in his right hand a ower, a common indicator of sexual or romantic attraction, not necessarily tied to the social status of those involved (Sutton 1981, 304–08). The scene is set at a fountain, perhaps a fountain house, a place with an unsavoury reputation (Williams 103). The setting may also play off the punning use of ƭƣƬƬưƳ, well or cistern, to refer to prostitutes (Davidson 1997, 79). In black-gure depictions of men accosting women at fountain houses, their intent is overtly violent (Berlin F1910, ABV 387.18; New York 98.8.12, ABV 602.41; Agrigento C862, ABV 604.73). These vases also include boughs spread over the background, as if the site is decked out for some festival (Williams
attic red-figure and white-ground 1983, 102–03). As the men on the Detroit vase wear wreaths on their heads, a similar festival context may be intended. Men offering money to women is a common subject on vases, most if not all of which have been interpreted as scenes of prostitution (Sutton 1981; Meyer 1988). However, these vases typically show the man handing a bag of money, i.e., a purse, to the woman. A vase assigned by Beazley to the manner of the Pig Painter renders the subject in this fashion (ARV 2 566.6). Only a few examples show the man holding the purse and a coin taken from it (Sutton 1981, 292 and 432, n.23). The Detroit vase may be unique in showing only a coin, without the purse, and this may be at the core of the woman’s response. Judging by what a prostitute could earn in Athens, and the use of prostitution as an access to income by women, who otherwise were locked into occupations like wool-working, which offered little in the way of income, the response by the woman may not be a moral one, but a nancial one. That the coin is rendered in red, rather than in white suggests that this is not a silver coin the man proffers. The few vases of this subject matter which actually depict a coin, and particularly the Detroit vase in showing only the coin, without the purse, may be among the earliest depictions of coinage in Greek art and therefore comprise a valuable and as yet unconsidered source of information on another aspect of Athenian society, the distribution and use of small coinage in the Athenian economy. The assumption prevalent in studies of the social impact of coinage, that coinage was the provenance of the elite, has been recently challenged (Kim 2002). If the rendering of the coin in red on the vase is intended to indicate its small denomination, thus generating the woman’s response, this provides evidence for the usage of
53
such coins in these kinds of transactions. It also indicates that the men on the vase may themselves not belong to the elite of society simply because they use coins.

arm. 2: Aigina, in chiton and diagonal mantle, wearing stephane, eeing and looking left. The sceptre identies the aggressor as Zeus. The seizing of the victim by the shoulder, and her responding gestures of surprise or terror are all conventional for subjects of this sort (KaempfDimitriadou 1979: 22–23). The difculty, then, is to identify Zeus’ victim, which might be Thetis, Semele, or Aigina. Arafat has argued that the large number of vases between 490 and 440 B.C. with Zeus pursuing a woman, and the virtual disappearance of the subject after that time corresponds to the long struggle of Athens to seize Aigina (Arafat 1990: 77–88). He concludes, in the absence of specic iconographic indicators, that the victim should be identied as Aigina. While there is a danger of a circular argument, as Arafat himself acknowledges, his conclusions seems warranted. The vase here has similarities in general composition and gestures with two depictions by the Berlin Painter (Basle BS 1906.297 and Cabinet des Médailles 439; Arafat 1990: pls. 24 and 25a). More specically, the same arrangement of Aigina’s hair and her crown, reinforce the connection. Allusions to contemporary military and political events are not unknown in the work of the Nikon Painter (Wade-Gery 1933: 99–101). Finally, the popularity of the subject may have received additional boost from Aischylos’ treatment of the Sisyphos myth, which apparently included as at least a plot device, the story of Zeus’ rape of Aigina, for the revealing of which Sisyphos was punished (Mette 1959: frag. 374). The drama, too, may have an element of interest in the continuing Athens/Aigina conict.

79. Attic Lekythos, 24.117 Fig. 110, left Shape and ornament: Body cylindrical but slightly convex. Mouth slightly convex. Handle segmental in section. Disk foot with indentation near top of vertical face. Top of mouth reserved. Upper part of neck, mouth and handle glazed. Lower part of neck, shoulder and gural zone covered in white-ground. Shoulder decorated with interlocked palmettes and tendrils. At top of body, rightward facing meander framed by double brown lines. Lower part of body and upper surface of foot glazed. Vertical face of foot reserved. Subject: Grave scene. 1: nude male holding phiale in left hand, facing right. 2: female in chiton, facing left, holding wreath(?) in right hand, basket on ground before her. Between the two a stele with two-step base, crowning moulding and double tier of acanthus, and with a llet tied to middle. Attribution and date: Manner of the Woman Painter; late fth century B.C. Despite the serious abrasion to the surface, certain details indicate the vase is by the Woman Painter or near to him. The nose, and the eye in particular are somewhat oversized for the prole of the face. The mouth droops down at the corner giving the lower face a pinched appearance. The line of the eyebrow ends at about the point of the eye, short of the prole line. The fold of the upper eyelid is indicated as an intermediate line between the lid proper and the eyebrow. The lower tier of acanthus is given a darkened upper edge in the same colour as the crowning moulding and the llet. The shoulder ornament,

though nearly indistinct, has leaves for the palmettes which have a slightly turgid quality, and the calyx rendered as nearly a circle. For both the shoulder and the acanthus of the stele, compare Hamburg 290. Dimensions and condition: Height: 30.7 cm. Width: 7.8 cm. Diameter of foot: 4.9 cm. Mouth, neck and handle broken and repaired with some loss of glaze. Loss of white-ground and faded paint in lower neck and shoulder. Loss of white-ground, and faded paint on shoulder and body.

Subject: Grave scene. 1: female in sakkos and chiton, nearly frontal, looking right, holding a at basket (kanastron) with an unguent container (exaileptron) on top, and llet hanging over sides. 2: male in mantle facing left, holding a vessel (?). In between, a stele with two-stepped base, and crowned with two mouldings, two volutes and palmette. A basket (kanoun) sits on the top step, in front of the stele. Attribution and date: Quadrate Painter; third quarter of the 5th century B.C. Where the condition of the vase’s surface allows, the evidence, this points to the attribution of the vase to the Quadrate Painter. The prole of the forehead and nose runs in an extremely shallow curve, but ends with a slight but distinct swelling at the end of the nose. The corner of the mouth drops, and the chin has a pronounced bulbous quality, and the lower contour of the jaw does not run into the neck. The eyebrows have a marked arch, then dropping at the inner corner before reaching the profile. Straggling locks hair are indicated with quick, curving zigzags. With the complete loss of the meander at the top of the body, the chequered squares within this meanders for which the Quadrate Painter is named are not evident. The crowning elements of the stelae which appear on these vases, a palmette above horizontal volutes (24.118) are those used elsewhere by the painter: Athens, National Museum, CC1675; New York 99.13.4 (GR 623). The unguent container carried by the female gure on 24.118 is a device appears with some regularity on the vases of this painter: New York 99.13.4 (GR 623); New York 06.1021.130; Oxford 1920.252; Athens, National Museum CC1634; Auckland 12965. Dimensions and condition: Preserved height: 15.9 cm. Diameter: 7.7 cm. Diameter of foot: 5.4 cm. Broken and repaired, with mouth, neck and shoulder missing. Body reconstructed from fragments. Fragments missing at centre, between gures, at top of body to right of 2, and above 1. Loss of paint.

Accessory colours: Red: llet in kanastron of 1, basket at base of stele, and vessel held by 2.
Attribution and date: Sabouroff Painter; third quarter of the fth century B.C.
Reddish brown: mantle of 2.
The condition of the surface of the vase places emphasis on the diagnostic evidence of the boy and the shoulder ornamentation. The boy’s prominent nose, ending just below the vertical height of the head, with the mouth and jaw then dropping away gives the face its particular pointed appearance. The prole of the forehead and nose curves slightly out; the mouth slants upward; the eyebrow arches in a simple, at curve, intersecting the prole line. The hair is arranged in a loose mass with small indications of individual locks at the back of the neck. These same features occur on male gures on San Simeon 9895; Athens NM 14857; and an example in the Vlasto Collection, Athens. The stele with a base in several steps and simple crowning mouldings without volutes or acanthus is one used by the Sabouroff Painter on these same vases. The palmettes and tendrils of the shoulder decoration can also be compared to that on the same vases again, and on Berlin 2455.

Cup
84. Attic Kylix, 79.163 Fig. 115, drawing no. 11 Shape and ornament: Kylix, type B. Small ridge on foot. Bowl skewed on horizontal axis. Insides of handles reserved. Subject: Nude male youth with staff, and llet around left thigh, facing left. He lays a llet onto an altar. While the general action of offering a thanksgiving is clear, certain details point to a more specic context. The llet around the gure’s leg, along with the nudity, suggests that the boy himself has been successful in some athletic contest or scrutiny. However, the walking staff held under the arm seems at rst inconsistent with such a context. Its placement in the composition is emphatic as it denes the horizontal of the ground-line upon which the boy stands. But a walking staff might be expected in connection with some journey in public, where the boy would also be expected to appear clothed in a himation rather than nude. Just such a procession in public does appear on another kylix by the Triptolemos Painter, done slightly earlier in his career. The subject of Louvre G 138 has been examined by Knauer (1996), who suggests that the interior procession around the tondo on that kylix depicts boys and their fathers, all clad in himatia, on their way to celebrate the koureion held on the third day of the Apatouria festival, in which members of a phratry voted on the qualications of boys to become members of the community. On the exterior frieze of the Louvre vase the procession, lead by an aulos player, arrives in the presence of an athletic trainer, holding his characteristic forked staff. Knauer proposes that both the literary and athletic trainers of the boys are depicted by the painter in these two processions in order to draw attention to the literary and athletic examinations the ephebes are to undergo. The boy on the Detroit kylix even sports the same ephebic hairstyle as on the Louvre kylix, with a
tight roll of hair on the nape of the neck and a short fringe above the forehead (Knauer 1996, 234), reecting the shearing of the child’s hair on the day of the koureion. Unfortunately, the texts relating to the koureion are not always specic on the details, nor consistent, but this has been taken to reect the variations in procedures among the various phratries (Lambert 1993, 166–68). The features of the cutting of the child’s hair and the scrutiny for phratry admission do seem assured (Lambert 1993, 161–63) and can be linked to the tondo of the Detroit vase, with its representation of the ephebic hairstyle, the llet around the thigh attesting to having passed scrutiny, and the offering of thanks to the god. Many of the specic details of the Detroit vase are repeated on another kylix by the Triptolemos Painter (London Market, Southeby’s 13 & 14. 12.82, lot 233). Here a youth in mirror image of the Detroit gure, lays a llet on an altar. He sports the same hair style, and leans on a staff. However in the London example, he still wears the himation. Attribution and date: By J. Boardman and D. von Bothmer to the Triptolemos Painter; ca. 480 B.C. Dimensions and condition: Height: 9.5 cm. Diameter: 23.1 cm. Diameter of base: 9.1 cm. Diameter of tondo: 13.5 cm. Handles and foot repaired. Accessory colour: Red: llet around left thigh; traces of red llet held in hands.
