It is time for the Museum to look back at a decade of living with this rich collection, which has been the source not only for scholarly publications and new insights into an ancient world but also for countless educational opportunities and unknown hours of musing and wonder for the thousands of visitors who have seen these vases. It is also a time to look forward and anticipate the complete publication of the collection in the fascicules of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum. This is the fourth fascicule dedicated to the Bareiss collection and the first of several on the Attic red-figured vases, the last group of the collection to be published. As with the previous publications of Bareiss vases, this fascicule includes only vases from that collection and more recent acquisitions that join or belong to them, such as the fragments donated to the Museum in 1991 that join the fragmentary kalpis with a scene of Nereids bringing arms to Achilles (no. 33, 86.AE.235). Unlike previous fascicules this one was begun by the author while he was an intern in the Antiquities Department in 1991 and 1992. The Department is grateful to him for his persistence over the past years and his dedication to this project, and to Mary B. Moore, Dietrich von Bothmer, J. Michael Padgett, and Andrew J. Clark for their generous assistance and oversight. Marion True vii This page intentionally left blank INTRODUCTION This fascicule comprises the complete and fragmentary red-figured and white- ground closed vessels from the collection of Molly and Walter Bareiss: amphorae, a loutrophoros, pelikai, a stamnos, a psykter, hydriai, oinochoai, lekythoi, a lid, and some fragments of undetermined shape. The majority of vases and fragments dates from the first three quarters of the fifth century B.C. The Geras, Eucharides, and Richmond Painters are especially well represented, and the Berlin and Trip- tolemos Painters make strong showings as well. The format for entries follows the guidelines for the U.S.A. CVAs and the precedents set in previous Getty fascicules of Attic ware. Attributions are credit­ ed in brackets; my own are unmarked. Profiles, with scales, are given for all com­ plete or nearly complete vases and for some fragments, and all graffiti are shown at a scale of 1:1. In the section DIMENSIONS AND CONDITION, I have followed the lead of pre­ vious Getty fascicules in giving the approximate capacity for complete vases. Most volumes were measured with short-grain rice, but for some of the smaller lekythoi it was necessary to use fine sand; this disparity may have caused some unevenness in values. The results are given both in liters and in the estimated an­ cient equivalent, expressed in choes, kotylai, or kyathoi: 1 chous (3.283 1) = 12 kotylai (1 kotyle = 0.2736 1) = 72 kyathoi (1 kyathos = 0.0456 1). As in previous fascicules, these equivalents are based on those calculated by Friedrich Hultsch (Griechische und romische Metrologie, 2nd edn. [Berlin, 1882], pp. 101-4, 107-8, 703. RE, vol. 3, pt. 2, cols. 2526-27, s.v. "Chous"), though their validity for Archaic Athens remains unproved. In the TECHNICAL FEATURES sections, I have used the terms defined by Joseph Veach Noble in The Techniques of Painted Attic Pottery, 2nd edn. (New York, 1988), pp. 116-47. My contour stripe is the equivalent of Noble's "eighth-inch stripe" (see Noble, op. cit., p. 105). I have followed the same order of descrip­ tion in each entry: preliminary sketch; contour stripe; relief contour; relief lines; dilute glaze; added color. I do not describe the use of plain black glaze, nor do I note the absence of any given feature: If, for example, dilute glaze is not mentioned, then there is no dilute glaze on the vase. Where appropriate, I end the section with a description of misfirings and other accidents of the pro­ duction process. In describing anatomy, I have on occasion used terms coined by Donna C. Kurtz for her publication of Beazley's Berlin Painter drawings (see Kurtz and Beazley, pp. 42-46). These terms, such as "pectoral fullness lines," are set off by IX quotation marks and are defined in Kurtz's volume. I have used the word "hair­ line" for the strands of hair surrounding the face and behind the ear. For the PROVENANCE sections, I have listed the year in which Mr. and Mrs. Bareiss purchased the piece, if it is known. If a vase was bought at auction, I give the appropriate vendor, date, place, and lot number. In many cases, however, even such basic information is unavailable today. On the formation of the Bareiss Col­ lection, see Dietrich von Bothmer's essay in Getty Bareiss. All of the vases and fragments herein have been listed in the Acquisitions Sup­ plements of GettyMus] 14 and 15 (1986, 1987). As these publications merely note the gross number of vases acquired in a given year, without illustrations or ac­ companying text, they have not been included in the BIBLIOGRAPHY for each piece. With regard to bibliographic abbreviations, I have with few exceptions followed those of previous Getty CVA fascicules. Journal titles are abbreviated as per the American journal of Archaeology. The format for the COMPARANDA is, generally, as follows. The first paragraph contains a very brief discussion of the painter, shape, and decoration, with cita­ tions of relevant texts and parallels. I have assumed here that the reader of a CVA fascicule already knows of the standard surveys, such as Sir John Board- man's handbooks or M. G. Kanowski's Containers of Classical Greece (New York, 1984). Though such works are, of course, invaluable, I have preferred to list on­ ly more detailed discussions. This paragraph is followed by closer stylistic com­ parisons. The section concludes with a discussion of iconographic issues and, when relevant, graffiti. In some cases, these various parts have been conflated in­ to a single paragraph; the general order, however, remains for the most part constant.

Kernos Pherekydes’ Daktyloi 1 Pherekydes’ Daktyloi Ritual, technology, and the Presocratic perspective Sandra Blakely Introduction: Classics and the Evolutionary paradigm 1 Western culture is traditionally ill equipped to understand the intersection of ritual and technology. Pfaffenberger, Killick, and Lansing have observed the causes, and what is lost by failing to shake these off.1 Because these activities occupy different categories in the industrialized world, attempts to interpret their coincidence in other cultures lean to the dismissive. They are regarded as a reflection of the earliest stages of invention, compensatory appeals to the divine that reflect incomplete mastery of technological processes. The combination is often called magic by both practitioners and academics. Magic has been traditionally synonymous with primitivism; an evolutionary model suggests that such superstitions evaporate as technology is mastered, and linger only in folk tales and half-remembered superstitions.2 The cost of this paradigm is substantial. Emphasizing the movement into subsequent intellectual paradigms, it reduces attention to symbols in context.

  • THE MAENAD in EARLY GREEK ART* R[ SHEILA MCNALLY
    ./ // THE MAENAD IN EARLY GREEK ART* r[ SHEILA MCNALLY HE EXAMINATIOOFN WORKSof art can provide information about a culture which significantly changes what we would know from written SOurces alone. Examination of the role of maenads in early Greek art shows a striking development, namely the waxing and waning of hostility between themselves and their companions, the satyrs. This development is, I think, symptomatic both of strains developing in the Greeks' experience and of a growing complexity in their awareness of themselves and their universe. It reflects tensions between male and female characteristics in human nature, not necessarily tensions between men and women specifically. We tend to think of satyrs and maenads as images of happy freedom. They first appear, dancing and carousing, in the painting of sixth century Greece, and wend their way with carefree sensuality through Western art down to the present day. There are, however, some startling early breaks in this pattern, eruptions of hostility such as that painted by the Kleophrades Painter around 500 B.C. (fig. 9L His maenad wards off the advances of a satyr with cool, even cruel effectiveness. This action sets her apart, not only from happier ren- ditions of the same subj ect, but from renditions of other female figures in contemporary art. Contrary to what we might expect, no other female in Greek art defends her chastity so fiercely as the maenad. No other male figure is caught at such a disadvantage as the satyr - although he has his victories too. Scenes of men and women in daily life, whether boldly erotic or quietly ceremonious, are invariably good-humored.

  • From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale**
    International Journal of Cultural Property (2006) 13:311–331. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2006 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739106060206 From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale** Abstract: The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum’s acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other objects that have followed the same route. The fabrication of old collections to hide the recent surfacing of antiquities is also explored. In October 2006 the MFA agreed to return to Italy a series of 13 antiquities (Ap- pendix). These included Attic, Apulian, and Lucanian pottery as well as a Roman portrait of Sabina and a Roman relief fragment.1 This return is forming a pattern as other museums in North America are invited to deaccession antiquities that are claimed to have been illegally removed from Italy. The evidence that the pieces were acquired in a less than transparent way is beginning to emerge. For example, a Polaroid photograph of the portrait of Sabina (Appendix no. 1) was seized in the raid on the warehousing facility of Giacomo Medici in the Geneva Freeport.2 Polaroids of two Apulian pots, an amphora (no. 9) and a loutrophoros (no. 11), were also seized.3 As other photographic and documentary evidence emerges dur- ing the ongoing legal case against Marion True and Robert E.

    ATTIC BLACK FIGURE FROM SAMOTHRACE (PLATES 51-56) 1 RAGMENTS of two large black-figure column-kraters,potted and painted about j1t the middle of the sixth century, have been recovered during recent excavations at Samothrace.' Most of these fragments come from an earth fill used for the terrace east of the Stoa.2 Non-joining fragments found in the area of the Arsinoeion in 1939 and in 1949 belong to one of these vessels.3 A few fragments of each krater show traces of burning, for either the clay is gray throughout or the glaze has cracked because of intense heat. The surface of many fragments is scratched and pitted in places, both inside and outside; the glaze and the accessory colors, especially the white, have sometimes flaked. and the foot of a man to right, then a woman A.

  • Epilykos Kalos
    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.
