Description
Pottery: red-figured oinochoe (jug). Design red and white on a black panel, with details in purple; borders of egg-moulding above, chevrons down the sides, and wave-pattern along the bottom. Scene from a burlesque of the seizure of the Palladion: On the left is Odysseus moving to left, turned to the front, bearded, with hair streaming out on either side of his face; he wears a mask, white pilos, and chlamys on left arm; in his right hand is a drawn sword, and in left he carries the Palladion, a figure of Athene painted white, with high crested helmet, long close girt chiton, shield on left arm, right hand raised. He is followed by Diomedes, who has curly hair, and wears a mask with slight beard; at his back is slung a white petasos, and round his left leg is a white band; he holds out his left arm muffled in drapery. On either side is a laurel-branch; above, three white phialae, and a row of ivy-leaves. The ground-lines are indicated. --The British Museum Trendall, A D; Cambitoglou, Alexander, The red-figured vases of Apulia, Volumes 1-2, Oxford, Clarendon press, 1978; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
