CIRCA 520 B.C.

The nearly spherical body of this neck-amphora is unusual in the Attic repertoire. For an example in the Tampa Museum of Art by the Euphiletos Painter with Dionysos on a donkey accompanied by a satyr see no. 41 in P. Russell, Ceramics & Society, Making and Marketing Ancient Greek Pottery. Like the amphora presented here, both sides of the Tampa vase have the same subject. Here Dionysos stands between two satyrs, both with equine legs and heads turned frontally. The god is more richly clothed on one side, where he holds a kantharos, while on the reverse he holds a rhyton.
