Aias and Kassandra

Description: A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Trendall, A D, The Red-Figured Vases of Lucania, Campania and Sicily, Clarendon Press, 1967; Smith, A H; Pryce, F N, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 2, British Museum 2, London, BMP, 1926; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893, Pottery: red-figured hydria. Depicted on this hydria is the rape of Kassandra by the lesser Ajax, son of Oileus, in Athena's temple at Troy. In the centre, the Trojan princess Kassandra kneels on the base of the statue of Athena, the Palladion. Her hair is loose and her drapery hangs from her left shoulder, leaving her upper body bare. She embraces the statue with both arms. An oinochoe lies below her on the base. Pallas Athena is portrayed wearing a peplos and carrying a shield on her left arm and a spear in her raised right hand. She wears an elaborate helmet to which feathers are attached. At the left, the Greek warrior Ajax seizes Kassandra by her hair. Ajax is nude except for a chlamys tied in front with a bulky, round brooch. On his head is a crested Corinthian helmet with added large feathers. His left foot is on the base of Athena's statue, and he raises a sword in his right hand. A phiale hangs above his head, part of the temple's ritual equipment. Two other phialai appear in the field to the right and left above the subordinate figures. To the right of the central group, the old priestess of Athena, Theano, with short white hair, runs away but looks back at the sacrilege about to occur. She still clutches the temple key in her left hand. Above her head, an owl, the sacred bird of Athena, flies carrying a wreath. At the far right a young girl in a peplos looks back as she turns to flee. At the left, above Ajax, a goddess is seated with a scepter in her left hand and a small round object in her extended right hand. It has been suggested that this is Aphrodite with the Apple of Discord, a reference to the origins of the Trojan War. Behind Ajax and much smaller in scale is another Greek warrior. He too wears a chlamys tied in front and an elaborate helmet, and he carries a shield and spear. This scene occupies the front of the hydria. Other parts are decorated with palmettes, volutes and stylized floral ornaments. An olive wreath with central rosette decorates the neck. The rim is decorated with a band of ovolo pattern, the shoulder with tongues. A band of wave-pattern runs under the central scene around the entire vase. --The British Museum

Behind him are two warriors to right defending him with spears, both fully armed; the first has an ivy-wreath as device on shield, the second a tripod. Behind the quadriga, are two fully-armed warriors in combat; the one on the left, with Boeotian shield, has beaten down the other on one knee and is about to transfix him with spear. 2. On the body: Marriage-procession: A quadriga to right in which are the bride and bridegroom (possibly Hera and Zeus), the former veiled in a himation, the latter bearded, in long chiton and striped himation, goad in right hand, reins in both. In advance of them, at further side of horses, is a beardless male figure (Apollo?) to right, with long hair, curls in front of his ears, embroidered chiton and striped himation, playing on the chelys. Facing him, also on further side of horses, is a female figure (Aphrodite?) with long tresses and long embroidered chiton, holding up a flower in right hand. In front of the horses is the proegetes (leader of the procession), or Hermes, to right, bearded, with long tresses, striped chlamys, petasos, endromides, and caduceus. 3.

87. Aias and Kassandra

Aias and Kassandra

Description: Pottery: red-figured hydria. Depicted on this hydria is the rape of Kassandra by the lesser Ajax, son of Oileus, in Athena's temple at Troy. In the centre, the Trojan princess Kassandra kneels on the base of the statue of Athena, the Palladion. Her hair is loose and her drapery hangs from her left shoulder, leaving her upper body bare. She embraces the statue with both arms. An oinochoe lies below her on the base. Pallas Athena is portrayed wearing a peplos and carrying a shield on her left arm and a spear in her raised right hand. She wears an elaborate helmet to which feathers are attached. At the left, the Greek warrior Ajax seizes Kassandra by her hair. Ajax is nude except for a chlamys tied in front with a bulky, round brooch. On his head is a crested Corinthian helmet with added large feathers. His left foot is on the base of Athena's statue, and he raises a sword in his right hand. A phiale hangs above his head, part of the temple's ritual equipment. Two other phialai appear in the field to the right and left above the subordinate figures. To the right of the central group, the old priestess of Athena, Theano, with short white hair, runs away but looks back at the sacrilege about to occur. She still clutches the temple key in her left hand. Above her head, an owl, the sacred bird of Athena, flies carrying a wreath. At the far right a young girl in a peplos looks back as she turns to flee. At the left, above Ajax, a goddess is seated with a scepter in her left hand and a small round object in her extended right hand. It has been suggested that this is Aphrodite with the Apple of Discord, a reference to the origins of the Trojan War. Behind Ajax and much smaller in scale is another Greek warrior. He too wears a chlamys tied in front and an elaborate helmet, and he carries a shield and spear. This scene occupies the front of the hydria. Other parts are decorated with palmettes, volutes and stylized floral ornaments. An olive wreath with central rosette decorates the neck. The rim is decorated with a band of ovolo pattern, the shoulder with tongues. A band of wave-pattern runs under the central scene around the entire vase. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Trendall, A D, The Red-Figured Vases of Lucania, Campania and Sicily, Clarendon Press, 1967; Smith, A H; Pryce, F N, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 2, British Museum 2, London, BMP, 1926; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
