  • A Black-Figured Kylix from the Athenian Agora
    A BLACK-FIGUREDKYLIX FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 31 AND 32) I N THE spring of 1950 an ancientwell was discoveredin the area behindthe Stoa of Attalos, just east of the sixth shop from the south.' It was excavated to the bottom which was reached at a depth of 7.70 meters below the present surface of bedrock. The well was beautifully cut, round and true, in the soft green clayey bed- rock, and on two sides, the northwest and southwest, there was a series of fifteen footholds designed to help the workman who was digging the well in going down and coming up. No trace was found of the house that this well was designed to serve nor was the contemporary ground level preserved at any point near by. A pillaged foundation trench of classical Greek times passed over the mouth of the well except for the very northernmost segment, the broad deep footing trench for the back wall of the Stoa of Attalos passed about two meters to the west of the well, and a drain of the Roman period barely a meter to the east. The few remaining " islands " where bedrock stood to a higher level preserved no trace of ancient deposit. The fill in the upper meter or so of the well was loose bedrock without sherds. The next two meters produced scattered fragments of pottery of the first half of the sixth century B.C., one box full in all, among which we may note two black-figured frag- ments with animal friezes, rudely drawn, a fragmentary lid of a powder-box pyxis belonging to the Swan Group,2a fragment of a small late Corinthian skyphos with a zone of elongated animals, and several fragmentary unfigured kylixes, one of "komast " shape and two shaped like "Ionian" kylixes and having their off-set lips decorated inside with bands of thinned glaze.4 The next four and a half meters contained no sherds whatsoever, and the fill consisted sometimes of loose bedrock, occasionally of black mud.

  • Greek Dramatic Monuments from the Athenian Agora and Pnyx
    GREEK DRAMATIC MONUMENTS FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA AND PNYX (PLATES 65-68) T HE excavations of the Athenian Agora and of the Pnyx have produced objects dating from the early fifth century B.C. to the fifth century after Christ which can be termed dramatic monuments because they represent actors, chorusmen, and masks of tragedy, satyr play and comedy. The purpose of the present article is to interpret the earlier part of this series from the point of view of the history of Greek drama and to compare the pieces with other monuments, particularly those which can be satisfactorily dated.' The importance of this Agora material lies in two facts: first, the vast majority of it is Athenian; second, much of it is dated by the context in which it was found. Classical tragedy and satyr play, Hellenistic tragedy and satyr play, Old, Middle and New Comedy will be treated separately. The transition from Classical to Hellenistic in tragedy or comedy is of particular interest, and the lower limit has been set in the second century B.C. by which time the transition has been completed. The monuments are listed in a catalogue at the end. TRAGEDY AND SATYR PLAY CLASSICAL: A 1-A5 HELLENISTIC: A6-A12 One of the earliest, if not the earliest, representations of Greek tragedy is found on the fragmentary Attic oinochoe (A 1; P1. 65) dated about 470 and painted by an artist closely related to Hermonax. Little can be added to Miss Talcott's interpre- tation. The order of the fragments is A, B, C as given in Figure 1 of Miss T'alcott's article.

  • Red-Figured Pottery from Corinth Plate 64
    RED-FIGUREDPOTTERY FROM CORINTH SACRED SPRING AND ELSEWHERE (PLATES 63-74) THE PRESENT ARTICLE publishes the inventoried pieces of Attic red-figured pottery discovered during the excavations of the Sacred Spring. Four fragments, 49-52, belong to an unidentified fabric which does not appear to be Attic. The article also includes fragments from the Peribolos of Apollo and the Lechaion Road East, and ends with two miscellaneous sherds and an importantstemless cup. This is, in fact, the first of two articles which will cover most of the Attic red figure that has been found at Corinth since 1957.1The second article will deal with the pottery from the recent exca- vations in the central and southwesternarea of the Forum. Some 71 pieces, mainly fragments, are presented here: 52 (1-52) come from the Sacred Spring, 6 (53-58) from the Peribolos of Apollo, 10 (59-68) from excavations below Roman Shop V, east of the Lechaion Road, 3 (69-71) from various findspots. The catalogue is arrangedby shape and, within each shape, by date so far as possible. A. SACRED SPRING (Pls. 63-69) The early excavations in the Sacred Spring were published by B. H. Hill. The area was re-examined from 1968 to 1970 and again in 1972, during which eight architectural phases were distinguished, the earliest beginning in the later 8th century, the latest ending with the destruction of Corinth in 146 B.C.2 All the inventoried Attic red figure from the new excavations is listed in the following catalogue, but other fragments, of less significance, are kept in the relevant Corinth pottery lots.

Knauer N THE SEQUENCE of cups by the Triptolemos Painter, Beazley has I placed a sherd in Bryn Mawr next to four fragments in Freiburg with the remark: "Belongs to the Freiburg frr. (no.62) ?"l This fine sherd has recently been published in the first CV-volume of that collection.2 The authors followed Beazley's lead and tried to establish what had become of the fragments in Freiburg, only to learn that they were lost.3 As Beazley had visited Freiburg in 1924 there was reason to expect a photographic record in the archive in Oxford. This was duly found and is here presented for the first time thanks to the generosity of those in charge of that treasure-house." The judicious analysis of the subject on the interior of the Bryn Mawr fragment (PLATE 3 fig. 2b) can be amended by looking at its back (PLATE 5 fig. 2 a b). The authors take the upright object at the left to be a staff. It is the leg of a stool which joins with one of 1 J. D.
