    EPILYKOS KALOS (PLATES 63 and 64) N TWO EARLIERPAPERS, the writerattempted to identifymembers of prominent Athenian families in the late 6th century using a combinationof kalos names and os- traka.1 In the second of these studies, it was observed that members of the same family occurredin the work of a single vase painter,2whether praised as kalos or named as partici- pant in a scene of athletics or revelry.3The converse,i.e. that the same individual may be namedon vases by painterswho, on the basis of stylistic affinities,should belong to the same workshop,seems also to be true.4The presentpaper tries to demonstrateboth these proposi- tions by linking membersof another importantfamily, the Philaidai, to a circle of painters on whose vases they appear. The starting point is Epilykos, who is named as kalos 19 times in the years ca. 515- 505, 14 of them on vases by a single painter, Skythes.5Of the other 5, 2 are cups by the Pedieus Painter, whom Beazley considered might in fact be Skythes late in the latter's career;61 is a cup linked to Skythes by Bloesch,7 through the potter work, and through details of draughtsmanship,by Beazley;8 1 is a cup placed by Beazley near the Carpenter Painter;9and the last is a plastic aryballos with janiform women's heads, which gives its name to Beazley's Epilykos Class.10 The close relationshipof Epilykos and Skythesis especiallystriking in view of Skythes' small oeuvre, so that the 14 vases praising Epilykos accountfor fully half his total output.

Otherwise, nothing is known of Hippokrates'own career.

  • Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6Th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond
    arts Article Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond Valérie Toillon Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC H3T 1J4, Canada; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 22 October 2019; Published: 25 October 2019 Abstract: The motif of three women sharing the same mantle is pictured on about a dozen vases dating from the first half of the sixth century BCE. Among these vases, the so-called “François Vase” and a dinos signed by Sophilos (now in London, British Museum) are of particular interest. The wedding of Thetis and Peleus is pictured on both vases. This theme is well-adapted to the representation of a procession of deities in which the Charites, Horai, Moirai, and Muses take part. The main feature of these deities is a shared mantle, which covers and assembles them, emphasizing that these deities are plural by definition. The main study on this iconographical theme remains that by Buchholz, who documented most of the depictions of the “shared-mantle” in ancient Greek vase-painting and small terracottas. The shared-mantle motif has been interpreted successively as a reference to the sacred peplos (in relation to the wedding), a simplification from the painter to avoid painting all the mantles, a sign of emotional/sexual union, a religious gesture, and a depiction of choruses. The present study aims to consider in more detail the “shared-mantle” as an iconographic sign that involves the idea of community, shared identity, and emotional bond.

  • Masters, Pupils and Multiple Images in Greek Red-Figure Vase Painting
    MASTERS, PUPILS AND MULTIPLE IMAGES IN GREEK RED-FIGURE VASE PAINTING DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Sue Allen Hoyt, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Mark D. Fullerton, Adviser Professor Timothy J. McNiven __________________________ Adviser Professor Howard Crane History of Art Graduate Program Text copyright by Sue Allen Hoyt 2006 ABSTRACT Little is known about Athenian vase-painting workshops of the 6th through 4th centuries BC. Almost no references exist in ancient literature, and there are few archaeological remains besides the vases themselves. I examined the technical details of vase-painting “copies”–images of uncommon scenes on vases by painted different painters– and compared the steps in the painting process, (especially the preliminary sketches), to see if these could supply any information about workshop practices. The research revealed that there are differences in sketches executed by different painters, and that there were often obvious differences in the care exercised in the different steps of the painting process. When the different steps consistently exhibit different levels of skill in execution, this suggests that workshops were organized so that workers with few skills performed the tasks that demanded the least; more-skilled workers painted the less-important borders etc., and the most-advanced painted the figures. On a few vases the sketch lines were more skillfully executed than the paintings that overlay them. Further, in the case of the Marsyas Painter and the Painter of Athens 1472, more than one pair of vases with replicated rare scenes ii exists.

  • The Pottery from the North Slope of the Acropolis
    THE POTTERY FROM THE NORTH SLOPE OF THE ACROPOLIS The pottery in question is the harvest of four seasons of excavation on the North Slope of the Acropolis.' Most of it is black-figured and red-figured ware. As the prehistoric pottery has already been described in solm-e detail by Mr. Broneer, nothing of earlier period than Geometric will be included here. At the end of the series the Hellenistic ware really closes the occupation of the site as far as anything of ceramic interest is concerned; the Roman is too scanty and too unimportant to merit inclusion.3 The custom of dropping r& zaXaua over the convenient edge of the Acropolis has been well established by centuries of precedent, to mention no other instances than the clearing of the citadel by the Athenians after the departure of the Persians4 and the further clearing of the hill by m-odern excavators.5 What wonder, then, that the newly- found pottery fragments are related to pieces discovered on the Acropolis during the last hundred years? Ten North Slope fragments join vases from the Acropolis and ' 1931-1934. Reports: Broneer, Hesperia, I, 1932, pp. 31ff.; IT, 1933, pp. 329 ff.
