Description: Pottery: red-figured hydria. On shoulder: Music lesson. In centre, a group of wreathed, bearded man (instructor) seated on chair to right playing chelys, confronted by boy seated on diphros playing chelys; each chelys has a taenia attached. Beneath the chair a dog lies to left looking round, wearing a collar. On right an ephebos moves away, looking back, holding out in right a spotted sybene and glottocomeion. On extreme right an ephebos sits to left in a chair, closely muffled in himation, his left foot raised in air beneath the chair; above, KAΛΟΣ, καλός. Behind the instructor a wreathed youth stands to right holding a chelys. On left a bearded man (a paidagogos?) stands to left with right resting on a stele, but turns to right, holding up in left a cord attached to the collar of a young panther (?). The stele is decorated at the upper edge with a row of upright strokes, and has written on it, letters horizontal but in a column (kionedon), KAΛΟΣ, καλός. All the figures are wreathed, excepting the youth on the diphros and the paidagogos, who wear fillets: all are draped in himation. Beside the instructor on the right hang a pair of tablets wound round with a cord. Purple wreaths, fillets, cords, and inscriptions (except that on stele). Light brown hair of youth playing lyre, collars of dog and cat. Eye in transition type, disc against open angle. Borders of panel: below, red strip; above, linked lotus buds; on each side, net pattern.

8. Music Lesson

Description: Scenes of the daily lives of Athenian schoolboys decorate this red-figure cup. In addition to basic literacy and mathematics, Greek boys were trained in athletics and music. On the interior of the cup, a boy holding a lyre stands in front of a bearded man, who must be his music teacher. On the outside, men and boys form similar scenes. The imagined walls of the schoolroom are hung with musical instruments and athletic equipment: lyres, string bags with knucklebones, sponges, and aryballoi. The scenes on this cup are not purely educational, however. On one side of the vase, a boy holds a hare on his lap, while on the other, a man offers a hare to another boy. In addition to serving as a classroom, the gymnasion in its role as the center of Greek physical and intellectual life was also the center of romantic courtship. Hares were popular love gifts in the homosexual relationships between older men and boys favored by the Athenian aristocracy in the early 500s B.C. --J. Paul Getty Museum Bareiss Loan: S.82.AE.36, May, Helmut, ed. Weltkunst aus Privatbesitz, exh. cat. (Cologne: Kunsthalle Köln, 1968), cat. no. A 31; fig. 13.; Bothmer, Dietrich von.
