![]() ![]() I have been thinking about this recently because I included a seminar on ‘reception’ in my undergraduate module on the Homeric Iliad. As we’ll see, we also know something of its history since it was made. We know the name of the potter (Euxitheos) and the painter (Euphronios), because both are named on the pot (one signature reads ‘Euxitheos made me’ and another ‘Euphronios painted me’). The pot in the picture is a big (about 45 cm tall) krater (mixing bowl for wine), manufactured in Athens in the late sixth century BC. ![]() January 23, 2014, by Richard Rawles Sarpedon: Looking at the Past ![]()
