11. Symposium
- Description
- Pottery: red-figured stamnos. (a) Symposion with Cottabos (wine-throwing game). The two figures on the right are as in the following vase, but wear ivy-wreaths; and the ephebos holds in his left a kylix, and has his lips parted as if singing. Above him, ΚΑΛΟΣ. The third figure is a youth, also wreathed with ivy, who holds in his right, by one handle, a footless kylix, and turns to right to look at his companions; the left arm of this figure is drawn in bold foreshortening. Between him and the central figure the flute-player stands to right: her hair is looped up behind with a broad fillet, and she wears cross-straps (stethodesma) across her breasts. Above her head, ΚΑΛΕ. In front of each couch is a table, on which is a row of small purple dots, from which a vine-branch hangs down in front. On the left hangs a chelys. (b) Three draped ephebi. The central one stands en face, and looks to right at another, who places his right upon his shoulder. The one on left rests his right on a staff. Purple stem and berries of ivy wreath, inscriptions, fillets, tuning-pegs of lyre, and vine on tables. The lower band of ornament has red cross squares. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893; Walters, H B, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 4, British Museum 3, London, BMP, 1927
- Description
- Pottery: red-figured stamnos. (a) Departure of a warrior. In the centre a bearded warrior stands en face, with helmet, short chiton, ornamented cuirass, and greaves, sword at waist, shield on arm, and holding a spear upright in left hand; his cuirass is decorated with a star on each shoulder-piece, and a band of key pattern; the strings are fastened upon a stud in the centre of this band, which is formed like an eight-spoked wheel, with dots between the spokes. He looks to left, grasping the hand of a bearded man, in long chiton and mantle, who holds upright in his left hand a staff. On the right, a woman, with bordered Doric chiton with apoptygma undertied, and hair looped up with fillet, stands with a phiale in her left, and an oinochoe hanging at her side in her right hand. Behind the warrior a hound stands in the background to left: around its neck is a collar with bead (?) attached. (b) Similar scene. In the centre, a beardless warrior as in (a), but with his body mostly hidden by his shield (device, a Pegasos springing to left), with helmet tilted back and with a mantle over his arms, stands en face, holding out to left a phiale to be filled from the oinochoe of a woman with Doric chiton schistos, and hair looped up with radiated fillet. On the right stands a bearded man, as in a. Large style. Purple fillets, brown inner markings and edge of hair. Eye in profile. Below, pairs of maeanders separated by dotted cross squares. Above, tongue pattern; round lip, egg pattern. Below and above handles, a pattern of four palmettes. The helmet in both cases overlaps the border. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893; Walters, H B, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 4, British Museum 3, London, BMP, 1927

- Description
- Pottery: red-figured stamnos. (a) Theseus killing the Minotaur. Theseus, a full-grown ephebos with hair on cheek, long hair looped up behind, with the ends falling over a fillet, and short tied chiton, with sword in right hand, has passed his left arm round the neck of the Minotaur and grasps its muzzle in his left hand, pulling its head round en face. He steps forward to right with his left foot on the right shin of his opponent. The Minotaur, fleeing to right, has fallen backwards on to his right knee; with his right he brandishes a stone, with his left he clutches at the left shoulder of Theseus; blood flows from wounds in the abdomen, chest and each shoulder. He has a long bull's tail. In the field hang on left, the scabbard, on right, the petasos (archaic form) of Theseus: beside him on the right KAΛΟΣ, καλός. (b) Theseus killing Procrustes. The background of the scene is occupied by a rock, sloping upwards to the right. Beside this, Procrustes, a rough bearded figure, has fallen on both knees to the right and looks round in three-quarter face, with his right extended in supplication towards his opponent, and with his left trying to loosen the other's grasp. Theseus (as in a), striding forward with his left on the rocky slope, has grasped Procrustes by the back hair, and in his right swings back the double axe to deal him a stroke. On the right hangs his pilos. Severe style. Purple fillets, blood, sword-belt, and inscriptions. Brown inner markings, hair on cheek of Theseus and upper folds of his chiton, and shading of the rock in a. The beard of Procrustes is indicated by a wash and straight strokes of thinned black; the hair on the forehead of the Minotaur, by a series of black dots on a hatching of fine strokes in thinned black. The outline of the hair is incised. Eye of Theseus in a in transition type (pupil against inner angle): in b the pupil is a dotted circle in thinned black. Below each side and round the lip, egg pattern; round the shoulder, tongue. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893; Walters, H B, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 4, British Museum 3, London, BMP, 1927
