Experiencing Childhood in Ancient Athens
Dogs in Athenian Sculpture and Vase Painting of the Archaic and Classical Periods
Athenian Festivals
The ancient Athenians held two major Panhellenic festivals: the Great Panathenaia in celebration of the goddess Athena and the Great Mysteries in honor of Demeter. This chapter compares and contrasts the rituals of these two festivals in relation to the topography and monuments of Athens, focusing on how the celebrations drew together different parts of the community of Athens.
Athens
Inhabited from the Stone Age to the present, Athens is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. We know it best from the Classical period (500–300 bc ), because in addition to its impressive archaeological remains, such as the Parthenon, a vast variety of informative inscriptions and texts, from philosophical dialogues to comic jokes, attests to its importance. The names of its most famous citizens – Aischylos, Aristophanes, …
The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Athens
Named for a goddess, epicenter of the first democracy, birthplace of tragic and comic theatre, locus of the major philosophical schools, artistically in the vanguard for centuries, ancient Athens looms large in contemporary study of the ancient world. This Companion is a comprehensive introduction the city, its topography and monuments, inhabitants and cultural institutions, religious rituals and politics. Chapters link the religious, cultural, a…
Bulls and rams
The earliest literary reference to animal sacrifice in Athens is the passage in Homer’s Iliad (2.550–551) that mentions Athenian youths propitiating their legendary king Erechtheus with bulls and rams. It is surprising that this passage has not been associated with the north frieze of the Parthenon, where twelve young men are leading four bovines and four sheep to sacrifice, in contrast with the ten cows on the south frieze which clearly represen…
An Imported Attic Kylix from the Sanctuary at Poggio Colla
This study focuses on an Attic red-figure kylix excavated in a North Etruscan ritual context at a major sanctuary site in the Mugello region at Poggio Colla. Attributed to the Painter of the Paris Gigantomachy (490–460 B. C. E.), the kylix depicts youths boxing. Careful excavation of the site over 20 years allows detailed presentation here of the votive context for the kylix and thus supports a plausible hypothesis for how it was integrated into …

Salpinx, Snake, and Salamis
In 1980 an important Attic red-figure hydria dated to ca. 400 b.c. came to light in the excavations of the eastern necropolis at Pella in Macedonia. With its dramatic image of the strife between Athena and Poseidon for the hegemony of Attica, this vase has attracted the attention of scholars, in particular for the light it sheds on the composition of the west pediment of the Parthenon. However, other components of the vase are equally interesting…
Parthenon
The Parthenon, one of the three extant temples of Athena on the Acropolis in Athens, is both the most famous building in all of ancient Greek architecture and an icon of the modern country of Greece.
Erechtheus and the Apobates Race on the Parthenon Frieze (North XI-XII)
A reexamination of the north frieze of the Parthenon, blocks XI–XII in particular, indicates that the leading apobates contestant is the winner in this Panathenaic contest. Evidence from James Stuart’s 1751–1753 drawing and his brief commentary support a reading of the so-called marshal beyond the horses as the judge bestowing the victor’s wreath, and comparanda for this figure can be found in other art forms. The emphasis of this scene then shif…

Le donateur, l’offrande et la déesse
Faire une offrande à une divinité était une démarche très répandue de la pratique religieuse des Grecs. Le geste était donc banal et la nature du don extrêmement variable, pouvant aller d’une modeste terre cuite à une somptueuse intervention architecturale dans le sanctuaire du dieu ou de la déesse. Si l’offrande était variée, les intentions du donateur ou de la donatrice ne l’étaient pas moins, et s’affirmaient déjà dans le choix d’une divinité …
Niobe (?) on the Portonaccio Temple at Veii
The most famous examples of Etruscan architectural sculptures are those from the Portonaccio sanctuary at Veii of ca. 510 B.C. The surviving over life-size terracotta akroteria include Apollo (to whom the temple was originally thought to be dedicated), Herakles, Hermes, and a female figure holding a child identified as Letowith her sonApollo.Given the rarity ofApollo as a child in classical art and the implausibility of his appearing twice on a b…

Myth and Greek Art
In perusing any book devoted to Greek art, one is struck by the ancient Greeks' obsession with their gods, heroes, and mythological creatures. From the earliest extant work of figurative art produced in the so-called Dark Ages, the terracotta centaur from Lefkandi (ca. 950-900 BC), to that icon of late Hellenistic group sculpture, the marble Laocoon (ca. 30-20 BC), Greek artists and their patrons were drawn to mythological subjects not only for t…
The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology
Professor Roger Woodard brings together a group of the world's most authoritative scholars of classical myth to present a thorough treatment of all aspects of Greek mythology. Sixteen original articles guide the reader through all aspects of the ancient mythic tradition and its influence around the world and in later years. The articles examine the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature, from the epic poetry of 8th century BC…

Athena, Alter Ego of Zeus
The Fall of Troy in Early Greek
Greek myth-makers crafted the downfall of Troy and its rulers into an archetypal illustration of ruthless conquest, deceit, crime and punishment, and the variability of human fortunes. This book examines the major episodes in the archetypal myth - the murder of Priam, the rape of Kassandra, the reunion of Helen and Menelaos, and the escape of Aineias - as witnessed in Archaic Greek epic, fifth-century Athenian drama, and Athenian black- and red-f…

The Euthymides Krater from Morgantina
The Attic red-figure volute-krater attributed to Euthymides discovered at Morgantina in 1958 is here fully published for the first time. The black-bodied vase, decorated on the neck only, displays the Amazonomachy of Herakles on the obverse and a symposium on the reverse. The actions of the symposiasts indicate a temporal progression from the initial toasts to the final effects of overindulgence, a composition that is unique in Attic vase paintin…
The Morgantina Phormiskos
Excavations at the Archaic city of Morgantina have yielded an unusual vase that presents a unique congruence of form, function, and decoration. Corinthianizing in style but Sicilian in fabric, it is decorated on the front with the Hydra flanked by a sphinx and a quadruped, and on the back with landscape elements: a tall tree next to a body of water. Its size and gourd-like form suggest that it is a phormiskos, the ceramic equivalent of a leather …
