PREFACE T hlis volume was begun while I held the Edward Capps Fellowship of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1970 and completed during my tenure as Corinth Secretaryin 1973. It is not intended to be a complete corpusof the Corinthian red figure extant but rather a close study of the definitely Corinthianmaterial from the Corinth excavations with some attention to the other recognizable Corinthian red figure in Greece. It is hoped that with the publication of this small corpus of Corinthian red figure other unpublished, undisplayed pieces will be rediscovered and reported, thus adding to our knowledge of non-Attic pottery industries. During my work on this project I received much help and encouragement.I would especially like to thank James R. McCredie, as Director, and the rest of the faculty and staff of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens not only for their continued support and assistance but also for providing living and working conditions under which scholarship can proceed as smoothly as possible. I also wish to thank the Greek Archaeological Service and Dr. BarbaraPhilippaki, in particular,for allowing me to study the Corinthan red figure in the Athens National Archaeological Museum and for providing photographs of that collection. My greatest debt is to C. K. Williams, II, Director of the Corinth Excavations, who first gave me the Corinth excavation material to study and whose suggestions and insights during the course of my work were always illuminating. Mr. Williams' close reading of this manuscript has resulted in many improvements in the text. Professor Cedric Boulter gave generously of his time and knowledge of Attic red figure and was of invaluable assistance in the early stages of my work at Corinth. Professor A. D. Trendallgave me much help and advice during his stay in Greece in 1971. To Marie FarnsworthI owe all I know of the preparation of clay slips and glazes from the various clays of the Corinthia. My dependenceon the incomparable work of the late Sir John D. Beazley is apparent throughout this volume. I would also like to thank Dr. Dietrich von Bothmer for bringing to my attention the Corinthianred figure in the Metropolitan Museum. The staffs of the British Museum, Louvre, and the Munich Antikesammlung were all of great help in my search for Corinthian red figure elsewhere, and Mrs. A. D. Ure kindly provided me with photographs of the pelike in Reading. The photographs in this volume were taken and printed with much skill and patience by I. loannidou and H. Bartzioti. The excellent line drawings are by Diane Peck, the deposit map by C. K. Williams, II. I am indebted to Ann Haeckl and Jill Brinnon for proofreading and to Timothy McNiven for the Index. Finally, I would like to thank the Corinth secretaries, past and present: Kathryn Butt, Mary Sturgeon, Jean Macintosh, and Nancy Bookidis, without whom this manuscript, or at least its illustrations, would never have seen the light.

This volume was to have been dedicated to T. B. L. Webster in gratitude for his unfailing generosity of scholarship with this work as with others and his years of encouragement and guidance in all my classical endeavors. Now it can only stand in memoriam. The Universityof Michigan September, 1974

I INTRODUCTION Late in the thirdquarterof the 5th century,Corinthianpottersbeganto producered-figurepottery, imitatingboth in choice of shapesand decorationthe Attic potteryof the time. Fragmentsof this imitationredfigureon Corinthianclay havebeennotedfromthe firstAmericanexcavationsat Corinth, and even earlier,in 1885,Furtwanglerrecognizeda red-figurekraterin Berlinas of CorinthianmanufromAtticby the palercolorandfinertextureof the clay. facture.1Corinthianredfigureis distinguished Local clay colors are not invariable,however,and minordifferencesin the clay mineraland inclusions along with variationsin firingconditionscan producegradationsin color and textureof sherdswhich makethe place of manufactureuncertain.The darkestCorinthiancannotalwaysbe separatedfromthe palestAttic. Theseextremesarerare,andin generalthe combinationof the colorandtextureof the clay consideredtogetherwith the qualityof the glaze and the style of paintingmake Corinthianred figure easilyidentifiable. Pieces of Corinthianred figurehave been found at the Argive Heraion,2the Agamemnoneionat andOlympia.5Fourteencompletevasesof the fabricfromunknownproveniences Mykenai,3Perachora,4 are on display in the Athens National Museum.6Apart from the briefest excavation notices, this material

has not beenpublished.Clearly,a studyof this revivalof the Corinthianfigured-pottery industryis long overdue. The collection,descriptionand analysisof the Corinthianred figurefound at Corinth,its definitive and historicalsignificance,is the purposeof this volume.The Catalogue,meansof dating characteristics and stylisticanalysisof the paintingare treatedin individualchapters.The technicalproblemsof reproducingred figureon Corinthianclay and the reasonsfor the attempt,late in the 5th century,are best discussedat the beginningas a generalintroductionto and definitionof the fabric. The Corinthianpotterfacedmajortechnicaldifficultiesin his attemptto achievea reasonablefacsimile of Attic redfigure.Corinthianclayis not suitablefor the reproductionof the red-and-black colorscheme of Attic red figure.7The clay mineralin Corinthiansoil producesa non-lustrousblack glaze, dull in comparisonto Attic. In addition,Corinthianclay containstoo much calcium in proportionto iron, which further dulls the glaze and makes it cloudy, often with a green tinge.8For the same reasons, the

unglazedclay does not fire red, but a pale imitationof the Attic red clay could be achievedby the applicationof a red-ochermiltoswashto the reservedareas.The reservedareasare sometimescovered 1 A.

with a red-buff slip under the miltos, but Corinthian clay is more finely grained than Attic and requires a slip not for surface smoothness but only to cover the pale color of the clay. In general, the glaze tends to peel less from the slipped pottery. Attempts to improve the black glaze by using an imported, less calcinous clay are doomed to failure: if the composition of the glaze differs significantlyfrom that of

the clay of the pot, it does not adhere,and the decorationpeels off.9 The inferiority of Corinthian black glaze became apparent as early as the 6th century with the rise of

Attic blackfigure.The Corinthianartist,facedwith the fact that no matterhow skilledhis paintinghis end product would inevitably be second-rate because of the unsuitability of his materials, soon gave up the black-figure market to Athens'l and later made no attempt to duplicate early red figure. Painting undoubtedly continued at Corinth,but the best painters were no longer working on pots. One indication of the direction of Corinthian painting in the late 6th century is a series of wooden plaques found at

Pitsa near Corinth." Corinthian pot painting in the late 6th and early 5th century was limited for the most part to conventionalizing patterns painted directly on the plain buff Corinthianclay,l2 and a silhouette and outline animal style represented at its best by the Vrysoula Classical deposit.l3 An interesting series of small

of the gods and heroesin this black cupsand platespaintedwithwhatseemto be comicrepresentations outline technique, originally thought to be Boiotian, has proved to be Corinthian.l4Although interesting

mythologically,these crudelydrawnlittle cups do nothing to enhancethe artisticreputationof 5th century Corinthian pot painters. A few fragmentarypieces of large vases painted in a polychrome figure style have turned up in the forum area'5and more in the Demeter and Kore Sanctuaryon Acrocorinth.16

The drawingon the fragmentsis excellent,but the styleseemsmoresuitedto largepaintingthanto pots. The fabrichas not been studiedin any detail,but so little of it has been found,and so muchof this in the DemeterSanctuary,thatit seemslogicalto concludethatit is theworkof a fewpainters,not primarily pot painters,producingoccasional,very specialpiecesfor sanctuaryor festivaluse. With the exception of an occasional brilliant piece in the polychrome outline technique and the hasty

"Haloan"warecups,figuredpot paintingwasvirtuallynon-existentin Corinthfromthe late 6th century until the first attempt at Corinthianred figure late in the third quarterof the 5th century. Consequently, when figured pot painting was revived in Corinthian workshops, the pot painters found themselves doubly handicapped. Not only were their materials inferior, but they were one hundred years behind in their painting skills. Athenian painters had had a century of experiencein red figure to develop formulas for portraying the human figure in every possible position, to master foreshorteningand a type of per-

spective.The Corinthianpot painterhad no suchred-figuretraditionand no set of anatomicalformulas fromwhichto draw.This problemis particularlyclearon 15 (PI.2), one of the earliestpiecesof Corinthian red figure.The painterhas not masteredthe three-quarter view but has resortedto the stiff,old9 The technical theories above have all been substantiatedby experimentswith slips and glazes made from the clays presently availablein the Corinthia.Clay was collectedfrom clay beds near the Potters' Quarter,the so-calledTile Works,Aspropotamos,the forum area, Acrocorinth,and the nearbytown of Solomos. Slips and glazes werepreparedfrom these and appliedto tiles made from these same clays. As might be expected, the clays found at the Potters' Quarterand "Tile Works" were most successful,and glaze madefrom theseclays and appliedto tiles of the same clays producedreasonableapproximationsof the dull blackglaze characteristic of Corinthianred figurewhichhave adheredto the tiles for the past two years.The red clay fromAcrocorinthwhich Farnsworthhad suggested in her article (op. cit., footnote 8 above) as a possibility for Corinthianred pottery did not fire successfully.It had too high a calciumcontent. A wash made from red ocher now availablein the town of New Corinthprovidedthe pale pink color of the miltos wash used to cover the natural buff color of Corinthianclay on most Corinthianred figure. 10Necrocorinthia,p. 111. 11A.

fashioned technique of profile head on directly frontal body. His attempt to render the breasts of the female figurein profileis a failure. It is true that there is Attic painting of the late 5th centuryas awkwardly drawn as this Corinthianpiece, but that is obviously hasty, assembly-linework; it is justifiable to assume

that, consideringthe technicaldifficultiesinvolvedin producingearlyCorinthianred figure,some care was taken in the drawing,and the awkwardnessis indicativeof the artist'sinexperienceratherthan apathy. In a remarkablyshorttime, beforethe end of the century,a numberof Corinthianpot paintersdid achievea more than competentstyle. The Corinthianpainters,the HermesPainterand the Pattern Painter,are certainlyas good as the averageAttic pot painterof the late 5th and early4th centuries.It is interesting,however,that throughoutits durationof some75 years (see ChapterITI)Corinthianred figureremainedremarkablyconservativein style. Corinthianpaintersneverattemptedthe multi-level scenesso popularon the Attic pots of the time and avoidedthe addedcolorsand gildingthat delighted Attic painters,or at leasttheircustomers.Whetherthis restraintwas due to taste or a reluctanceto add to the alreadynumerousdifficultiesof producingthe imitationwareis impossibleto say. One of the most interestingquestionsaboutCorinthianredfigureis why,in the fourthquarterof the 5th century,afterone hundredyearsof ignoringthe technique,did Corinthianpottersbeginto workin red figuredespitethe numerousdifficulties? Themost attractivetheoryis that, with the beginningof the PeloponnesianWar,tradebetweenAthensandCorinthwas cut off andAttic potterybecamedifficultto obtain.Facedwith a dropin the supplyof the fashionableAttic potteryand no correspondingdropin demand,Corinthianpottersbeganto producetheirownversionof redfigurefortheestablishedCorinthian market.This theoryis supportedby the suddendecline in Attic importsin the gravesof the North Cemeteryat this time and by the contemporary replacementof the popularAttic white-groundlekythoi by Corinthianimitations.17 By the earlyfourthquarterof the 5thcentury,the Corinthianimitationlekyalmost thos has totallyreplacedits Attic prototype.Corinthianredfigure,however,neverenjoyedsuch enough for the theory of PeloponnesianWar completesuccess over its Attic rival. Embarrassingly traderestrictions,Attic red figurecontinuesto appearin quantityin the domesticcontextsof the last quarterof the 5th century.Everydepositthat produceda largeamountof Corinthianred figurealso produceda comparableamount of Attic. Clearly,the Corinthianswere somehowimportingAttic potteryduringthe PeloponnesianWar.18 What, then, was the impetusfor Corinthianpottersto begin to imitateAttic red figureat precisely this time?A closerlook at the subjectmatterof the Corinthianimitationshelpsanswerthis question.

INTRODUCTION The tradition of ordering vases for specific people or special occasions in Corinth is well attested by a

numberof Corinthianblack-figurepots on whichthe individualsare identifiedby name.19Particularly relevant is the Middle Corinthianaryballos found at Corinthwith the inscriptionnrroXvTEp-rroS w-rupfoas (Polyterpos Pyrvios leading the chorus and to him, himself, an olpe).20 rrpoXopEuoiEvosavToSEFoio?Tra

This must have been the prizefor a chorusleader.At least one Attic red-figurepainter,the Pantoxena Painter (ARV2,p. 1050, nos. 1, 2), made vases especially inscribed for a Dorian, possibly a Corinthian.21 The main thing that all specially ordered vases, whether they be athletic, dramatic, or funerary, have in common is that their value lies in their timeliness. If a buyer wants a vase to commemoratea dramatic

or athleticvictory,or oneappropriate fora specificburial,he is naturallygoingto wantit at a specificbut not alwayspredictabletime. Combiningthe facts that a largepercentageof Corinthianred figureis of this type of special-occasionpottery,and that its productionbegins early in the PeloponnesianWar, it is logicalto concludethat, althoughthe Corinthianswereable to buy Attic red figureduringthe war (probablythrougha thirdparty),they could not communicatewith an Attic potterto orderanything specific or depend upon receiving anything at a specific time. It was to meet this need that Corinthian workshops began to imitate Attic red figure. Once the techniquewas masteredand the market established, they expandedinto other subjectsand continued to compete with Attic until the middle of the 4th century. 19For one example,see M. Milne, "ThreeNames on a CorinthianJar," AJA 46, 1942,pp. 217-218, but especiallyNecrocorinthia, no. 480, pp. 287, 162, fig. 70, 'AAivT-ra Eii'. 20 M. and C.

THE PAINTERS differentpainterscan definitelybe identifiedon the Corinthianred-figurevasesnow extant.Over one half of the pots and fragmentsfound at Corinthcan be attributedto one or anotherof these to be attributed,but a few pieces painters.Most of the restof the materialat Corinthis too fragmentary

Six

(most notably 89, 129, 171) must belong to as yet unidentifiedpainters. In addition, all of the thirteen

Corinthianred-figurevases now on displayin the AthensNationalMuseumcan be assignedto one of these six painters. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the distinguishingfeatures of the six identifiable Corinthian red-figurevase painters, as determinedfrom their most complete and characteristicvases, to place them

in the developmentof Corinthianredfigure,and to give a completelist of the piecesattributedto them. In several cases the best example of a painter's work is found in the Athens rather than the Corinth collection. Often two fragmentsfrom the Corinth collection can be connected only by their resemblance to a third piece in Athens. For this reason I have included as much of the Athens material as possible in this publication of Corinth finds for identificationof the painters and for comparanda.1The reasons for the assignment of most of the individual fragmentsare set forth in the Catalogue.It is an interestingfact of the organization of the Corinthian pottery industry that the differencesin painting and potting style which distinguish the painters and workshops from one another are accompanied by corresponding differencesin the quality of the glaze and the coloring agents used to imitate Attic red clay. Each workshop must have had its own source of clay and each painter his own approximateformula for the mixing of black glaze. Consequently, variations in glaze techniques are discussed as well as painting style in identifying the painters. THE PELIKAIPAINTER

pink ocher wash. He uses relief contour very sparingly, and his interior relief lines are not overly thick. Dilute glaze and applied white, sometimes covered with a pink wash, are used for fillets, cloaks, wreaths and other decorative elements. Despite the generalmediocrity of the Pelikai Painter's style, he was capable of producingan occasional piece of very skillful and delicate draftsmanship.In fact, the gap between the best and the worst of his

workis so greatthat did they not appearfromtime to time on the samepots it wouldbe impossibleto assign them to the same hand. For instance, compare the delicate drawing of the eye of Bellerophon and the careful use of relief lines on side A of 15 to the heavy, hasty drawing on side B (PI. 2). Again, in the profiles of the four women on 121 he shows the variation possible within his work (Pls. 18-20). The face of the woman on the left is exceptionally well drawn with complete relief contour and a detailed eye; the woman on the right stares cow eyed and slack mouthed into her mirror. While this hydria displays

the best of the PelikaiPainterit also makeshis limitationsclear. His most painstakingdraftsmanship cannotconcealhis helplessnessin drawingthe humanbody or in givingany senseof movement.Even here in one of his best works the figures are badly proportioned and stiff, but he manages to conceal much with carefully drawn drapery. A number of small squat lekythoi in the Corinth collection may also be by the Pelikai Painter. The women on 133 (PI. 24) and 138 (PI. 23) show the same wide-open eye, solid hair and sketchy flat drapery as 15. 134-137 (PI. 24) should also be assigned to the same painter because of their close correspondence

in drawing,subject,qualityof glaze, and shape.These lekythoiare all slight, hasty works, and it is difficult to be certain whether they should be assigned to the Pelikai Painter himself or to severalpainters within his workshop. The stemless cup 173 (PI. 28) also belongs in this group. The work of the Pelikai Painter can be placed in the last quarter of the 5th century and the very beginning of the 4th century. The calyx-kraterfragment 15 appearedin the early fill of Deposit 8 along with a fragment of an Attic calyx-kraterdatable to 420-410 B.C.His pelikai are all the short, simple shape of the late 5th century; none of them show the high flaring neck or overhanging lip that develops on the Attic pelikai of the 4th century.2The shape of his squat lekythoi also points to a date in the late 5th century. Only one of his pots appears in a context of the early second quarter of the 4th century (1, Deposit 4, PI. 1), and the shape of the pot itself is closest to the pelikai of the late 5th century. ContemporaryAttic parallels for the larger works of the Pelikai Painter are hard to find. His style is decidedly old-fashioned. The simple, heavy, one-register figures on 15 can be compared more closely with the work of the much earlier Kleophon Painter3than with the ornate, multi-leveled style of the Attic

withwhichit wasfound.The simplicityandprimitiveness of the drawingon the kratermust calyx-krater be due to inexperiencein the red-figuretechniqueratherthanhaste,as may be the case with the squat lekythoi.The kraterwas an ambitiouspiece, and obviouslysome effortwas put into its painting.It is true that the better-preserved portionis from side B, but on a calyx-kraterthe qualityof the drawing shouldnot varydrasticallyfromside A to sideB. The lekythoiof thePelikaiPainter,on the otherhand, easilyfindparallelsin the sloppiersub-Meidianworkof the late 5th century,4and the styleof the hydria 121 is distinctlyMeidian. THE HERMESPAINTER

late 5th century (40, Deposit 4, P1. 10). The Hermes Painter is the best of the Corinthianred-figurevase painters, and the quality of his drawing does not suffer in comparison with the best Attic vase painting of the late 5th century. On his better pieces his hand is easily distinguishable, since there is no other Corinthianvase painterwho consistently approachesthe quality of his drawingor masteryof the technical problems of duplicating Attic black glaze with Corinthian materials. He is the only Corinthian painter who makes extensive, competent use of the relief line in drawing profiles. The line between the nose and mouth on his better figures is never blurred; the mouth, nose and chin are always distinct. The eyes of his figures are renderedwith skill and some subtlety, avoiding the wide-open, cow-eyed stare drawn by so many Corinthian vase painters. His knowledge of anatomy is adequate, and he has no difficultywith the three-quarterview. The bodies are sometimes outlined with relief contour (34, 62, Pls. 9, 12, 34) and sometimes not (30,40). The internaldetails of his figuresare drawnwith a wiry, broken relief line. Applied white and solid black glaze are common for the decorative elements. He uses dilute glaze to draw the separate strands of hair but rarely to add color to other parts of the vase. He delights in rather fussily decorated drapery, covered with eyelets, dot rosettes, palmettes and wave patterns drawn in his careful, broken relief line. To imitate the Attic black-and-redcolor scheme, the Hermes Painter covers his figureswith a red-buff slip, but the handle zone and rim decoration often appearunslipped.His black glaze approachesthe luster of good Attic glaze but often tends to crack, although it rarely peels. A fugitive red wash can be seen over the slip of the reservedareas on many of his pots, but it deepens the red color of the slip rather than contrasting with it. The Hermes Painter also shows a wide variation in the quality of his work. Although his best work is easily distinguished,many of his lesser pieces show a close connection with the Pelikai Painter, of whom it seems likely that the Hermes Painter was a more talented student and successor. The relationship between the artists is most clearly seen on two vases. The first is a pelike in the Metropolitan Museum in New York5 (P1. 32). The scene is a dancing satyr in front of a seated maenad. The maenad with her wide eye, open mouth and generally vacuous expression could easily be by the Pelikai Painter. But the Pelikai Painter never drew such an active satyr with swirling tail and realistic, detailed musculature.The second is 31 (PI. 8). The Eos there is one of the Hermes Painter's sloppiercreations and recalls the Pelikai Painter, while the general movement of the scene and in particular the position of Kephalos are sure signs of the Hermes Painter's hand (compare 30, PI. 7, and the New York pelike). Some fragments found at Perachora and published in PerachoraII are by the Hermes Painter.6The Perachorapieces are from a small bell-kraterand apparentlyshow an assembly of the gods. The drawing of the profile of Athena on fragment a and the bandeddecorationof the scepterswith full black glaze are definitely the work of the HermesPainter.The use of the heavy relief line and the red-buff slip on these fragments are also indicative of his work. There is no problem finding general Attic parallels for the style of the Hermes Painter. He falls easily into the group of the more careful late 5th century pot painters. The torch racer and the drawing of the torch hand guard on 35 are very like those on the vase in London signed by Nikias as potter.7In addition to a general resemblanceto the work of the Kekrops Painter, as Corbett points out, the Athena on the krater by the Hermes Painter at Perachora bears a strong likeness to a warrior on an amphora by the Suessula Painter in New York.8 More specific parallels for the drawing and composition of the works of the Hermes Painter are harder to find. As a Corinthian painter, he has a style of his own, distinct from the Attic schools of the late 5th century. This is most apparent on his namepiece depicting the 5 M.M.A. 57.43.

THE PAINTERS

apotheosisof Herakles(30, PI. 7). In late 5th to early4th centuryAttic vase paintingit is a common, fairly standardized scene with Hermes leading a quadriga carrying Herakles and Athena or Nike. In

almost all Attic examplesthe chariotis being led to the left, while on the Corinthiankraterit moves right.9In addition,the Atticpaintersgenerallyuse the flyingchariotto depicta complexsceneon at least two levels, Olymposabove and the land of mortalmen below. The HermesPainter,althoughhe is the most skilledof Corinthianvasepainters,neverattemptsmorethanone level,evenin this scenewhichso obviouslycalls for it. The HermesPaintercontinuedto workwellinto the firstquarterof the 4th century,sincea pot by his hand,the kraterwith the apotheosisof Herakles,was found in a contextof the earlysecondquarterof the 4th century(Deposit 5). By this time, however,two other painterswith very differentstyles were dominatingthe Corinthianred-figuremarket. THE PATTERNPAINTER

Thefirstof these,anotherfollowerof the PelikaiPainter,wasproducinglargequantitiesof Corinthian red figurein the first and secondquartersof the 4th century.This painter,called the PatternPainter because of decorative patterns on drapery and furniture, is technically second only to the Hermes Painter in his duplication of Attic black glaze. In fact, although the Pattern Painter's black glaze never equals the best of the Hermes Painter's, he more consistently achieves a glaze that could pass as mediocre

Attic and is not subjectto the cracklingthat so often spoilsthe HermesPainter'spots. He uses a lighter slip than the HermesPainterand it is often difficultto detectunderthe red miltos wash. The PatternPainter'sdrawingis neversketchyor fussy.He makesno use of reliefcontourbut instead often outlineshis profileswith diluteglaze. He drawshis figuresin long, fluid,controlledlines. Thisis particularlynoticeablein the interiordrawingof 55 (PI. 11); Dionysos' draperyat the hips and the interioroutlineof his lowerleg are each done with two strong,solid relieflines. His figuresat theirbest conveya lively senseof movement.Especiallywell done is the dancingsatyron 56 (P1.12). One of the most recognizablecharacteristics of the PatternPainteris his extensiveuse of dilute-glaze washand full glazefor decorativedetail.This techniqueis particularlynoticeableon 55: the satyr'stail and drinkinghorn, the couch, footstool, and thyrsos,and the maenad'sbox, braceletand headband are all washedwith dilute glaze. The PatternPainter also uses appliedwhite more than any other Corinthianpainter.The stemlesscup 175 (P1.29) is an exampleof this. His style with its distinctpreferencefor diluteglaze insteadof whitein most cases could be calleda subduedpolychrome. Otherclear indicationsof the PatternPainter'shand are the sometimesacorn-shapedears of his figures,as on the maenadon 55 and the torchraceron 59 (P1.12).The distinctanatomicalmarkingsof his maletorsosare usuallydrawnwith two finerelieflines for the semi-profiled pectorals,a shorttransverseline betweenthe pectoralsfor the sternum,two finelinesfromthe sternumto the navel,oftenwith two shorttransverselinesjust abovethe navel,and a line of diluteglaze from navelto pubes. A pelike with two athletes(inv. no. 1473)in the AthensNationalMuseumcan be attributedto the PatternPainter. In the chronologyof Corinthianred figure,the PatternPainterbeginsto work sometimeafter the HermesPainter.None of his work appearsin Deposit 4, but a great deal is found in Deposit 5. No potteryby his hand appearsin any contextlaterthan the earlysecondquarterof the 4th century.The qualityof his glaze and his restraineduse of reliefline are comparableto the techniqueof the Pelikai Painter,and his work does begin wherethe latter leaves off. He may be consideredanothertalented studentof the PelikaiPainterand a thirdmemberof his workshop.Thepossibilityof sucha relationship 9 For a list of Attic sceneswith the apotheosisof Herakles,see Metzger,Representations, pp. 210-212.

is most apparent on the stemless cups, 173 (PI. 28) by the Pelikai Painter and 175 by the Pattern Painter. The shape of the shallow stemless cups with the saucerfoot and egg-and-dotdecorationaroundthe tondo is unusual, and they were probably produced by one workshop (see 171-176). The face of Dionysos on 175 recalls the woman of 173, but the drawing of the body in three-quarterview and the use of applied white is much more advanced. The differencein the stage of development of the shapes reinforces the differencein drawing; 175 is a shallower cup than 173 and therefore later in the series. A fragment of another one of these cups (172, P1. 28) is in the style of the Hermes Painter and provides another link between the three painters. It is these cups and the squat lekythoi that give the clearestimpression of the three, the Pelikai, Hermes and Pattern Painters, working together in one workshop and influencing one another's work. On the

lekythoi,138 (P1.23) in particular,wherewe can see the flat, stiff drawingof the PelikaiPainter,the ornament of the Pattern Painter, and the good glaze of the Hermes Painter combined, it is difficult to decide whether we have an earlier work by one of the two later painters or a later, technically improved pot by the Pelikai Painter. These cups and lekythoi and a numberof other small fragmentsunattributable by style to any one of the painters (63-75) I have assigned simply to the "PatternWorkshop", sometimes leaning toward one of the painters. The Pattern Painter himself, like all Corinthian red-figurepainters, is eclectic in his choice of Attic models. Parallels for the composition of 55 and the position of the satyr can be found in the freer work of the Dinos Painter and his school.10The Dinos Painter's work is more careful, and he does use relief

contour.Thepanther-footed couchon this samekrateris matchedmostcloselyby a kraterby the Nostell Painter1; the dancing satyr on 56 derives ultimately from those of the Nikias Painter on a krater in Gotha.12

THE SKETCHPAINTER(S)

Meanwhile another painter, the Sketch Painter, whose work begins about the same time as the Hermes Painter, begins a line of Corinthian red figure completely independent from that of the Pelikai Painter

and the PatternWorkshop.The SketchPainter'swork first appearsin the late 5th-early4th century contextof Deposit4 (78, P1.14). He uses a verypale, fine Corinthianclay and no slip. The blackglaze adheresverybadly to his vases,and the ocherwash contrastswith the pale, unslippedclay, givinghis figuresa palepinkratherthana vividredcolor.He drawscarefully,takingthe troubleto makean elaboratepreliminarysketchwhichis often still visible.His style of sketching,in fact, is one of his more He drawslong, easy sketchlines, often looped at the joints, as at the elbow identifiablecharacteristics. of 78, or the chin of 82 (see Pls. 33-35). He seldomuses reliefcontourfor the profilesof his figuresbut sometimesoutlinesthe body (82, 83, PI. 14).The interiordetailsare renderedwith short,sketchyrelief lines and sometimeswith shinyyellowdiluteglaze. The qualityof the SketchPainter'sdrawingis erratic,sometimesextremelyfine(78, 80, P1.14)and on otherpieces only recognizableby the sketchlines and the poorly adheringglaze. He is the most long livedandproductiveof Corinthianred-figurevasepainters.In fact, the time spanof his workis so great and the quality of his drawing so varied, it is likely that with the Sketch Painter we are dealing with at least two painters working very closely and using the same materials and technique-teacher and student or father and son. It is difficult to draw the line between the two, however.The earlier work is definitely 10 By the Dinos Painter himself: see Hahland, pl. 12,a. ARV2, p. 1159, no. 2. For his school, a pelike by the Somzee Painter, Richter-Hall, no. 153,p. 193, pl. 152 (thereattributedto the Dinos Painter);ARV2,p. 1159,no. 2. The SomzeePainteris, according to Beazley, "close to the Chrysis painter" (ARV2, p. 1159). The Chrysis Painter belongs to "the school of the Dinos painter" (ARV2,p. 1158). 11Metzger,Representations,pl. XXI, I; ARV2, p. 1422, no. 1. 12 J. D.

superior to the late, but many pieces bridge the gap. It is just possible that the Sketch Painter is one longlived artist whose work degenerates very rapidly toward the end. The earliest piece by the Sketch Painter is a fragment of a symposium found in Deposit 4 (78). From its style, it ought not to be dated later than the last decade of the 5th century.The early work of the Sketch Painter as exemplified by this fragment is strongly influenced by the Suessula Painter, who, although primarily an Attic painter, produced at least two Corinthian vases, 76 (PI. 13) and 77 (PI. 14), both of which were found in Deposit 4. The profile of the youth on 78, the dribbly rendering of his hair, the drawing of the musculature in shiny yellow dilute glaze all are derived from the youth on the Suessula Painter's krater 76. The Sketch Painter's draftsmanshipon the symposium fragment is actually better than the Suessula Painter's, but it is still derivative. The influence of the Suessula Painter can be seen on other figures by the Sketch Painter. The tainia of the man on 79 (PI. 14) is tied in an unusual way very like that of a youthful torch racer on a krater by the Suessula Painter in the British Museum.l3In addition, looped sketch lines are visible on a photograph of the British Museum vase. A fragment from the Potters' Quarter by the Sketch Painter, KP 2723, depicts a satyr whose tail is drawn in solid black glaze, like that of a satyr by the Suessula Painter in New York.14 The middle work of the Sketch Painter shows less dependence on the Suessula Painter. He has, by the first quarter of the 4th century, dispensed with the use of shiny dilute glaze for musculature. One very fine fragment of a bell-krater, 80, from Deposit 5, showing a bull being led to sacrifice is remarkably

similar to an Attic stamnos from a late 5th centurywell in the Athenian Agora.15To Beazley the stamnos recalls the Dinos Painter.16 Sometime in the late first quarter of the 4th century the Sketch Painter's work seems to begin to

disintegrate,and it becomes increasinglydifficultto tell if one is dealing with the late, sloppy work of the original painter or that of an inferior successor. The worst piece is undoubtedly a small bell-krater, 85 (P1. 15), found in Deposit 10, a drain of the third quarter of the 4th century. A fragment of another krater, 83 (PI. 14), in the better style of the Sketch Painter was found in this same deposit. At this point, two vases in the style of the Sketch Painter in the Athens National Museum are very helpful. The pots themselves are twins: large (ca. 0.24 m. high)Attic Type A skyphoi with narrow bases and a pronounced compound curve, probably dating to the second quarter of the 4th century. The identical shape of the vases leads one to believe that they were made at the same time by the same potter. Both are painted in the technique that is recognizable as the Sketch Painter's, with no slip, pink wash, sketch lines and peeling glaze, but the painting style of the two is different. One, 160 (PI. 26), is very finely drawn, comparable to the best work of the Sketch Painter. It shows the beginning of a horse race with a nude youth on horseback and a trumpetersounding the start. The drawing of the horse and rider is very like that on 12 (PI. 2); the flute girl on 81 (P1. 14) is similar to the trumpeter. The hair of a figure on a small Attic Type A skyphos, 163 (P1. 28), is rendered in the same manner as that of the rider on 160. The other Athens skyphos, 161 (PI. 27), shows a satyr and Dionysos dancing. The satyr wears a panther skin, carries his club in his right hand and a plate of fruit in his left hand. The drawingis not so fine and gives a heavier impression than that on the other skyphos. Rather thick, dark lines of dilute glaze are used for the interiormarkings and the profiles are looser and messier than is usual for the SketchPainter. It seems clear that at the time the two skyphoi were painted, in the second quarter of the 4th century, two painters were at work in the workshop of the Sketch Painter: one, the original Sketch Painter, at the end of his career after forty years of painting, the other his student. Severalfragmentsat Corinth can be attributed to the student of the Sketch Painter. 83, from Deposit 10, is a male figure in the sketch 13London, B. M. 55.4-22.1.

technique wearing a leopard skin, carrying a club and bowl of fruit in a pose almost identical to the satyr on 161. The drawing of the torso of this figure is very close to the middle Sketch Painter style of 80.

The Dionysos on 82 bears a great resemblanceto the satyr on the Athens skyphos, 161. The small bellkrater, 85, from Deposit 10, by technique and glaze should be placed in the Workshop of the Sketch Painter. The drawing, however, is too sloppy to attribute. An earlier pelike by the Sketch Painter,

Athens, N.M. 16025, depicts a seated female with a strigil, very similarlydressed, but drawn much more competently than the seated female on 85. In summary, combining the information provided by the Corinth fragments and the Athens National

Museum vases, it can be concluded that the Sketch Painter's workshop was producing Corinthian red figure from the late 5th century to the mid-4th century. The products of the Workshop are recognizable by their pale wash and peeling glaze and can be divided into three painting styles: early Sketch Painter, strongly influenced by the Suessula Painter, lasting to the end of the 5th century; middle Sketch Painter, a fine independent Corinthian style covering the first quarter of the 4th century; Student Sketch Painter, the latest of Corinthian red-figure painters, beginning in the second quarter of the 4th century and including 83 (?); possibly an original by the Sketch Painter from which his student took the satyr on 161

(P1. 27). THE PAINTEROF CORINTHC-37-455 (86) The sixth and final definitely recognizable hand in Corinthian red-figure vase painting is that of the

painter of 86, 87 and 127. These three vases display a common experimentaltechnique for the imitation of Attic red figure. Large portions of the figures, instead of being reserved completely, are rendered by

applied white painted directly over the black glaze and colored pink by a furtherapplication of red miltos wash. Since only three examples of this applied-color fabric survive, it can be assumed that very little of the fabric was ever manufactured and that the experiment was unsuccessful. Whether the painter of this

doubly fake, red figure also attempted to produce the more canonical version is doubtful. His drawing style with heavy chin and bulbous nose does not appear on any other pieces of Corinthian red figure. Two relatively whole pieces of this fabric were found in datable contexts. 86 (PI. 15) came from Deposit 4

and by the shape of its foot can be dated to the beginning of the 4th century.17127 (PI. 21) is from Deposit 5, but its shape is not later than the turn of the century.18From the dates of these pots, it can be concluded that this experimentaltechnique is not one of the first fumbling attempts to imitate Attic redfigure,but rathera laterunsuccessfulinnovationintroducedafterthe imitationindustrywas established. These pieces may represent the attempt of another potter's shop to share in the market for Corinthian red figure created by the Pelikai, Hermes and Sketch Painters. They are more interestingas evidence for another large potter's workshop in Corinth at this time than as a type of Corinthian red figure. Three workshops and six painters constitute a very small figured-potteryindustry, and it is inevitable in such a small group that there be cross-connections and communications among them. They were all attempting to sell to the same limited market and must have been aware of one another's work. In addition, given a group of painters that began as imitators of Attic, it is predictablethat they would copy one another's work as well. This accounts for certain otherwise puzzling similarities among the works of

clearly separate Corinthian red-figure artists. Compare, for instance, the composition on the Hermes Painter's name vase, 30 (Pls. 6, 7), with the horse's hooves cutting across Hermes' chlamys, to that on

the Sketch Painter's skyphos, 160 (P1.26), with the horse's hooves cutting across the trumpeter'scloak. Again, the Dionysos by the Student Sketch Painter on 161 (P1.27) bears a close resemblanceto the satyr 17 For a discussionof the developmentof the bell-kraterfoot in the late 5th to early 4th century,see E. M. W. Tillyard, TheHope Vases,pp. 4-8. 18See Van Hoorn, Athens, N. M. 13031,no. 97, fig. 76, 410-400 B.C., and no. 278, fig. 13, around 400 B.C.

on the New York pelike by the Hermes Painter. These pieces are clearly painted by differentpainters but

one mustbe awareof the other'swork,or else be usingthe sameprototype. These cross-workshop connections within Corinthianred figurecan also be seen clearly in the secondary ornamentation on the vases. No single workshop or painter has a monopoly on a certain motif. All the

Corinthianpaintersare especiallyfond of the egg-and-dotband. It is seen aroundthe tondos of the PatternWorkshop'sstemlesscups, on the Pelikai and HermesPainters'pelikai, the Pelikai,Pattern and HermesPainters'kraters,and the skyphoiof the SketchPainterand his workshop.Othertypes of secondarydecoration are too scarceand fragmentaryto make any generalizations.No identifiablepainter uses a specific meander and saltire band more than once. They all vary the style of their palmettes continually. Nothing useful can be said about the ever-presentleaf decoration on bell-krater rims. The Hermes Painter does seem to favor a wave pattern below the figurezone on bell-kraters(31,38 and Berlin, S.M. F 2939) and a palmette with an elongated central stalk (30 and 52); but since both of these only

these wouldnot occur occasionallyon his attributedvases and he uses othermotivesindiscriminately, seemto be a foolproofsignof his hand.In fact, due to the fragmentarystateof the corpusof Corinthian red figureand the closenessof the painters,furtherstudyof the secondarydecorationwouldbe of little profit. As has been noted above, six painters is a minimal number for two generations of pot painting from 425-350 B.C. The number can be increased somewhat by the unassignedpieces and the possible fragmentation of the identified painters, but from the Corinthian red figure now extant, it seems doubtful that there were many more than the six painters identified. The small number of painters indicates that the production of Corinthian red figure was never a large industry, even at its height in the early 4th century.

THE DEPOSITS (Plate36) Scattered fragments of Corinthian red figure have been found in all areas of the Corinth excavations sincethey werebegunin 1896.The Asklepieion,Theater,NorthCemetery,forumarea,Acrocorinth and the Potters' Quarter have all produced their share of Corinthian as well as Attic red figure.1The

The stray fragmentsthat have been found in Roman or Byzantinelevels, or for which no accuraterecordof stratificationhas beenkept, are groupedby generalareaof excavationin orderto give an indicationof the distributionof the fabric.The last groupincludesall the piecesfor whichthe provenienceis entirely unknown.Everycataloguedpiece from the Corinthexcavationsthus has a deposit or group number whichis includedin its Catalogueentry.The numberof eachdepositis placedin its properlocationon the map of the centralareaand environsof Corinth(P1.36). 1 Five fragmentsof Corinthianred figure were found in the Potters' Quarter;they will be publishedby Cedric Boulter in J. L.

Benson, Corinth,XV, iii, ThePotters' Quarter:ThePottery. 2 In the dating of black-glazewares I rely heavily on the comprehensivepublication of the Athenian Agora materialby Brian Sparkes and Lucy Talcott, AthenianAgora, XII, Black and Plain Pottery. For Corinthianpottery, I owe much to Hazel Palmer's excellent study of Classical Corinthian shapes in Corinth,XIII, The North Cemetery.Unfortunately, G. R. Edwards'volume, Corinth,VII, iii, CorinthianHellenisticPottery, came out after this volume was submittedfor publication. I was unable to make use of it and have only added cross referencesto his deposits where our studies overlap. 3 In many cases the deposits are identifiedby the letters and numbers of their field-gridlocations. In the early excavationsthese grids changedfrom year to year and from field notebook to field notebook, so that the grid numbersdo not refer back to any fixed map of the site. They are still useful for identification,however. 4 The material from the Athens National Museum included in the Catalogue is without any useful provenience,having been obtained from private sources.The Corinthianred figure found in the excavation of the Sanctuaryof Demeter and Kore through 1972has been includedin the Catalogue.Since the depositsand stratigraphyof the Demeter Sanctuaryare still understudy and will be publishedseparately,I have not includedthem in this study of the deposits.

THE DEPOSITS

Deposit 1: A stone sarcophagus grave.6

P1. 31

Location:Outsidethe North City Wall, nearthe northwestcorner. Corinthian red figure: 171. Date: Late third to early fourth quarter of the 5th century B.C. In addition to the Corinthian red-figurestemless cup, this grave contained 9 vases, all of Corinthian manufacture; 3 white-ground pattern lekythoi (C-32-224 to C-32-226), 4 skyphoi (C-32-199 to C-32-201 and C-32-229), a small stamped kantharos (C-32-228), a trefoil oinochoe (C-32-227). The oinochoe and skyphoi are indispensable offerings in 6th and 5th century Corinthian graves and are generally of Corinthianmanufacture.6Three of the 4 skyphoi in this grave are of the type called "rounded skyphoi"7 in the publication of the North Cemetery graves. The earliest examples of this shape are dated there to after the middle of the 5th century.8The three from this deposit are closest in shape to one from another grave datable to the third to fourth quarter of the 5th century,9and to several from a well of the third quarter of the 5th century.10 This shape of a thin-walled skyphos with a flaring ring foot and two horizontal handles below a plain rim corresponds to what is called the Corinthian-type skyphos in Attic black glaze. Although Palmer calls the 5th century Corinthianversion of this shape a "directimitation" of the Attic shape, its development can be traced in Corinthian pottery directly and continuously from the Protocorinthian ray-based kotyle.11The shape itself, then, should not be considered an imitation of Attic. The decoration, with the application of a red wash to the reservedarea above the foot, might be consideredan attempt to imitate the red of Attic clay, but at the time the rounded skyphos is becoming popular in Corinth, the Attic skyphos of Corinthian shape is no longer decorated with a reserved zone above the foot but instead is entirely black glazed or crosshatched in this area. The red-washedzone in the Attic version of the shape is most popular in the 6th century and is very rarely found later.12Pease notes this discrepancy in decoration 5 CorinthField Notebook no. 125, pp. 155, 156, 0. Broneer, 1932. 6 Corinth XIII, p. 80. 7 No consistent nomenclatureof Corinthiancup shapes has yet been established. Humfry Payne's identificationof the typical Protocorinthianthin-walledcup with flaringring foot and horizontalhandlesbelow a plain rim as the kotyle provideda useful term for this shape which can be applied to its various stages of developmentfrom the 8th to the 4th century(see Necrocorinthlia, p. 294). The term kotyle has found general acceptanceonly in referenceto 8th and 7th centuryversions of the shape, and even there it is argued that kotyle is not the true Greek name (see Richter-Milne,p. 27). The 6th, 5th and 4th century versions of the shape are most often called skyphoi, although the definitivecharacteristicsof the shape remain constant. Severalterms have been coined to distinguishbetweenthe skyphos type that developeddirectlyfrom the Protocorinthiankotyle and the Attic modificationof the shape with a torus ring foot and heavier walls. Beazley names the kotyle the "Corinthian-type" skyphos and the Attic modificationthe "Type A" skyphos (ARV2,p. li). Sparkesand Talcott, too, call the kotyle the "Corinthiantype" skyphosbut identifythe Attic modificationwith the torus foot as the "Attic Type A" (AgoraXII, p. 81). Palmeralso discards the term kotyle and calls both versionsof the shape skyphoi but does not make a broad division betweenan Attic and a Corinthian type. Instead, she divides the skyphos into a number of smaller classes by variationsin both shape and decoration(CorinthXIII, pp. 105-108 and 123-128).The kotyle or Corinthian-typeskyphosbecomes,dependingon its stage of developmentand/or decoration, the semi-glazedskyphos, the roundedskyphos,or the ovoid skyphos. The Attic type is identifiedas the skyphos with heavy or torus foot. The 4th centuryversion of the Attic type is called the Laphaesskyphos after a graffitoon a cup of this shape from the North Cemetery.The extensivesub-divisionwithin Palmer'sterminologyprovides a useful shorthandfor identificationof specificcups in a detailed study but tends to obscure the general pattern of shape development.The classes of semi-glazed,rounded and ovoid skyphoi representthree stages in the developmentof the shape, not three differentshapes as one might be led to believe. For the sake of consistency I have used throughoutthis study the Sparkes-TalcottAthenian Agora terminology. This proves awkwardin manycases, particularlywhenthe place of manufacturemust be identified.Suchphrasesas "Attic, Attic TypeA skyphos" and "Corinthian,Attic Type A skyphos" are unfortunatebut preferableto adding another name to an alreadyover-definedshape. In citing parallelsfrom the North CemeteryI have given Palmer's more specific group names in addition to the Sparkes-Talcott classification.The Palmer group names prove particularlyuseful for combinations of shape and decoration that are specifically Corinthianand thereforehave no place in the Attic system. 8 CorinthXIII, pp. 127-128. 9 CorinthXIII, Grave 367, no. 6, pl. 59. 10Pease, nos. 218-221, p. 308, fig. 37.

between the Attic Corinthian-type skyphoi and their so-called Corinthian imitations in the late 5th century well she publishes.l3Neither in decoration nor in shape, then, is the Corinthianrounded skyphos an imitation of contemporaryAttic pottery. The fourth skyphos in the grave is of an unquestionably Corinthian type. It falls into Palmer's semiglazed Group ii14 and Pease's conventionalizing class.15In shape it is closest to a semi-glazed skyphos in a North Cemetery grave of the early fourth quarter of the 5th century.16 The squat oinochoe, too, can be placed in a Corinthian series. Its shape is that of Palmer's large trefoil oinochoai which were most popular in the first half of the 5th century;17its size (0.072 m. high without the handle), however, corresponds to that of a group of small trefoil oinochoai that gradually replace the large size in the second half of the 5th century.l8 This oinochoe is probably a transitional piece between the two series with the size of one and the shape of the other. As such it can be dated to the third quarter of the 5th century. The small stamped kantharos is another unusual piece. Kantharoi are not common offerings in Corinthian graves; only two others have been found in 5th century graves of the North Cemetery.19 The shape of this kantharos is also rare. It appears to be a miniature of the Attic sessile kantharos with low handles and stamped decoration. The full-size Attic shape is dated to the third quarter of the 5th century.20Two other miniature Corinthian versions of this Attic shape were found in the excavations of the Potters' Quarter, in late 5th century contexts.21 The three white-groundpattern lekythoi in the grave are definite copies both in shape and decoration of a common Attic type. As such, they are interestingboth for their date and for the history of Corinthian imitations of Attic pottery. Attic white-groundlekythoi first appear in the graves of the North Cemetery in the second decade of the 5th century;most popular are the Beldam-shapelekythoi with ivy decoration.22 Toward the end of the third quarter of the 5th century, Corinthian imitations of these lekythoi begin to appearin the graves of the North Cemetery.The Corinthianimitation goes through severalminor changes in shape and decoration by which it is divided into three chronological groups.23The lekythoi from the North City Wall grave with their red-washed necks and close adherence to the Beldam shape can be placed in the first group which Palmer dates to the third to fourth quarter of the 5th century. Shortly after its first appearance, the Corinthian version of the white-ground pattern lekythos totally replaces its Attic prototype in Corinthian graves. The development of the imitation white-ground lekythos at this particular time is one of the major argumentsfor the theory that the Peloponnesian War, making the importation of Attic pottery difficult, was the impetus for the development of local products to replace the unavailableAttic. The presence of the earliestpiece of Corinthianred figurein the same grave with the earliest of the imitation white-ground lekythoi is also a strong point in this argument. One important differencebetween the two cases is that the white-ground imitations completely replace the Attic originals, while Corinthian red figure never wholly replacesAttic.

nesianWar.24 The pottery in this grave outside the North City Wall can be dated at the latest to the early fourth

quarterof the 5th century.The burialalso containeda singlebronzestrigilindicatingthat the gravewas that of a youth. The Corinthian red-figurecup with its representationof a young athlete was probably made specificallyfor this burial and therefore can be placed with the latest material in the group in the early fourth quarter of the 5th century. The grave itself falls into a group which, by its preponderanceof Corinthian pottery, indicates the drop in Attic imports at the beginning of the Peloponnesian War. The appearanceof the earliest piece of Corinthianred figure in this context is yet another sign of this pheno-

menonand the Corinthianpotters'reactionto it. Deposit2: North CemeteryGrave418. Location:The North Cemetery. Corinthianred figure:145, 146. Date: Late 5th century. Published:CorinthXIII, p. 270. This grave in the North Cemetery proper is somewhat later than the grave of Deposit 1. In addition to the mandatory Corinthian-made skyphos and oinochoe, it contained 6 Corinthian white-ground

lekythoiof Palmer'sGroupiii, the black-neckedversionwhichis later than the Groupi lekythoiin It is interestingthat while the graveheld only Deposit 1 and is dated to the end of the 5th century.25 imitationwhite-groundlekythoi and Corinthianred figure,in black glaze it containedan Attic squat lekythosof the last decadeof the 5th century,showingthat sometradewas beingsuccessfullyconducted betweenAthensand Corinthat that time. As a rule, the few Attic imports of the late 5th century found in the North Cemetery are plain or standardizedvases. The most imaginative are a squat lekythos decorated with a single bird of the Mina Painter type (Corinth XIII, Grave 422, no. 10)26 and a palmette lekythos (Corinth XIII, Grave 422,

no. 13). This generallack of distinctionis true also of the earlierimportsin the North Cemetery.The blackfigureof the followersof the majorityare kylikeswhich,whendecorated,carrythe unremarkable Haimon Painter or standardizedpalmettes. Late black-figurelekythoi are also plentiful.

The occasionalred-figurepiece is not outstanding.Only 8 red-figurevases have been found in the cemetery: 3 glaux skyphoi (CorinthXIII, Grave 342, no. 5; Grave 344, no. 9; Grave 346, no. 6), 2 mid-5th century cylinder lekythoi (Corinth XIII, Grave 306, no. 4; Grave 307, no. 3), 1 large fragment of a Mannerist column-krater (Corinth XIII, X 264), a late 5th century chous (Corinth XIII, Grave 426, no. 17), and a squat lekythos (Corinth XIII, Grave 422, no. 10). Because of the scarcity of red figure

in the North Cemetery,it is statisticallyinvalidto drawany conclusionson the dateof the introduction of Corinthianred figureor its lifespanfrom the potteryfound there.Since there are only 6 pieces of Attic red figurefromthe cemeterybeforethe late 5th century,one can not reasonablysay thatthe absenceof Corinthianred figureuntil the end of the 5th centuryis due to anythingbut chance and the Thereis also a gap in the sequenceof burialsin the North Cemeterybetween povertyof the cemetery.27 24 The North Cemeteryitself from the fourth quarterof the 5th century producedan Attic skyphos (Grave 404, no. 6), one ivy lekythos (Grave 404, no. 7), a black-glazesquat lekythos (Grave418, no. 14), a squat palmettelekythos (Grave 426, no. 18), a redfiguresquatlekythos(Grave422, no. 10),and a red-figurechous (Grave426, no. 17).The LechaionCemeteryproducedan Attic squat lekythos of the last quarterof the 5th century(C. W. J. and Mary Eliot, "The LechaionCemeterynear Corinth," Hesperia37, 1968, no. 58, p. 364, p1. 108). A woman's gravein the same trench as Deposit 1 held two Attic red-figuresquat lekythoi of the last decade of the 5th century: C-32-26and C-32-142.

The amountof Attic potteryfromthis well datableto the decade430-420necessitatesreconsideration of the North Cemeterystatisticsthat seemto indicatethat the PeloponnesianWardrasticallycut down Attic importsin Corinth.The percentageof Attic to Corinthianpotteryin this well does not vary significantlyfrom that in wells of the earlyto mid-5thcentury.Studyof 5th centurydepositsat Corinth shows that, although Corinthianpotters offeredlittle competitionto Attic figuredwares, they did producethe greaterpart of the domesticpotteryused in Corinththroughoutthe 5th century.The beOnthe otherhand,the suddendisappearance changethispattern.31 ginningof thewardidnot significantly of Attic potteryfrom the North Cemeterygraves of this periodmight be due to a numberof causes.

The unpublishedwell at K-23, dated to the first to second quarterof the 5th century,yielded41 Corinthian-madeskyphoi and 9 Attic. The Corinthian-madeskyphoiare mostly semi-glazedand divide about evenly into Attic and Corinthiantypes. Two of the Attic imports were of the Corinthiantype, and 7 were of Attic Type A. A slightly later well excavatedin the westernforum area in 1970(Forum West Trench4N, Well 1) produced4 Attic-manufacturedskyphoiand 30 Corinthian.Threeof the Attic skyphoiwere of Corinthian type and the fourth was an Attic Type B (glaux).Twenty-fiveof the Corinthian-madeskyphoiwere the Corinthiantype of Palmer's semi-glazedGroup i; 3 were the slightlyearlierCorinthiantype with fine rays at the base, and 1 was of the roundedtype.

THE DEPOSITS

The presence of three Attic squat lekythoi and a chous in the Cemetery shows that importation was resumed at least by the last decade of the century (see footnote 24 above, p. 16). Alternatively, the drop in Attic imports might be another indication of the growing poverty and unpopularity of the North Cemetery which culminated in its almost total abandonment in the first half of the 4th century. Attic imports of the late 5th century should be looked for in the more wealthy graves of this period which most certainly have not been found in the North Cemetery. Whatever the cause, the combination of the material of Deposits 1 and 3 clearly places the origin of Corinthian red figure in the early fourth quarter of the 5th century. Deposit 4: Well at b-c: 18-19.32 Location: The area of the South Stoa terrace, northwest of the Roman Bema. Corinthian red figure, catalogued: 40, 54, 76-78, 86, 97, 112, 143, 148, 151. Rim and base fragments uncatalogued: C-37-437, C-37-438, C-37-441-C-37-443, C-37-2753-C-37-2755. Date: Late 5th-early 4th century. Published: Mentioned, with a photograph of the more interesting material, by Charles Morgan in his report of the 1937 excavations at Corinth, AJA 41, 1937, pp. 547-548, fig. 11; CorinthVII, iii, p. 216 (deposit 79). This well contained one of the largest deposits of Corinthian red figure, producing fragments of 17 Corinthian red-figurevases in comparison to 10 Attic. It contrasts sharply with the well of Deposit 3 with its fragments of a single red-figurekrater of Corinthianmanufacture.It seems clear that Corinthian red figure developed and began to rival Attic between 420 B.C., the lower date of Deposit 3, and the time that the well at b-c: 18-19 was filled. The well has not yet been fully published, but a brief survey of the pottery in it reveals a great deal from the late 5th and first quarterof the 4th century and none of the shapes characteristicof the second quarter of the 4th century.33As in earlier deposits, the majority of the pottery is of Corinthian manufacture,but there is still a significant amount of Attic black glaze. Again, the skyphos as the most common shape provides a useful measure both for the date and for the percentage of Attic to Corinthianwares. Sixteen skyphoi, 4 of Attic origin and 12 Corinthian,were kept from the well. Three of the Attic skyphoi are Attic Type A and not much later in developmentthan those of Deposit 3, showing no sign of the compound curve characteristicof the shape in the 4th century;34 the fourth Attic skyphos is of the Corinthiantype with a finely rayed base and the narrowingproportions of the late 5th century.35The remaining skyphoi are all of Corinthian manufacture. Four are Attic Type A,36slightly later than the Attic-manufacturedversions in the well, just beginning to develop the inward curve before the lip which becomes more pronounced as the 4th century progresses. Five are of the Corinthiantype with a red-washedreserved area above the foot.37The closest parallels in shape and 32 Corinth Field Notebook no.

A piece of Corinthianred figurefrom the well, C-32-444,joins (= 97) with a fragmentfrom the drain at b-f: 19-20 (C-32-253,Deposit 5) which must be dated to the second quarterof the 4th century.The drainand well are very near one anotherand wereexcavatedat the same time, but the materialfrom the well is distinctlyearlier than the drainfill. It is probablethat at the time the drainwas filled,in a generalalterationand raisingof the level of the area in the second quarterof the 4th century,the same fill was spreadover the top of the alreadyfilled well. Thejoining red-figurefragmentmust have come from this level of the well. The excavatornoted (Field Notebook no. 162) many "Corinthianimitations of Attic and late Attic red-figuresherds"from the first0.80 metersof the well and from 0.80 to 2.60 m. From 2.60 m. down, the potterywas kept separately in 50 cm. lots to see if the characterof the fill changed. Since in the end all of the pottery from the well was put together, one can assume that the fill did not change, and that the Corinthianred figurethat was noted at the higherlevels continuedto the bottom of the well. There is now no way of determiningwhich of the Corinthianred-figurefragmentscame from the upper levels of the well and might be part of the later drain fill. Therefore,the Corinthianred-figurefragmentsfrom the well can be dated by their context no more closely than betweenthe upper date of the well and the lower date of the drain-late 5th to mid-4th century.It is because of the mix-up of some of the well and drain pottery, I assume, that the two groups are given the same date (second quarterof the 4th century) in CorinthVII, iii, pp. 216, 217 (deposits 79 and 80). 34 C-37-490,C-37-502,C-37-506.For closest parallelssee Corbett,no. 24, pl. 85: 1. 35 C-37-489.Parallel, Agora XII, no. 318, p. 257, pl. 15. 36 C-37-428,C-37-434,C-37-435,C-37-446. 37 C-37-430-C-37-433,C-37-450. 33 Thereis

decoration are rounded skyphoi from late 5th century graves in the North Cemetery. The base of a sixth,38totally black, Corinthian-typeskyphos was kept; the over-all glazing is unusual for Corinthiantype skyphoi of Corinthian manufacture,but common on the Attic-made ones of the later 5th century. Only one of the Corinthian-manufacturedskyphoi was of the uniquely Corinthian semi-glazed type.39 The decorative scheme of carefully reservingthe lower half of the body dies out in domestic contexts by the early 4th century, while the rounded skyphos rises correspondinglyin popularity for a short time.40 The disappearance of the semi-glazed skyphos, which until this time had constituted the majority of Corinthian-madeskyphoi, is also accompanied by a rise in the percentage of imitation Attic Type A skyphoi. It must be noted, however, that this rise in imitations is not due to a shortage of previously imported Attic, Attic Type A skyphoi, but rather to a decline in the popularity of the Corinthiantype.41 Furtherindication of the amount of late 5th century material in this well are fragments of 6 Corinthian white-ground lekythoi42of Group iii similar to those found in the North Cemetery grave of Deposit 2. The most interesting evidence for the skill and output of Corinthian potters of this period is a series of 13 cup-skyphoi from the well whose closest Attic parallels date to the early 4th century.43The cups are all very finely made with delicate walls and elaborately molded feet. They fall into two distinct groups with two different patterns of reserving and banding on the undersides corresponding to two styles of interior stampedpalmette patterns.These two series of cups indicate at least two potters' shops of the late 5th to early 4th century turning out pottery of a high quality which can be recognized as an imitation of a distinctly Attic type. According to the Athenian Agora chronology of Attic black-glazed pottery, the light-walled stamped cup-skyphos first appears in the third quarterof the 5th century and continues until the beginning of the second quarter of the 4th century, at which time the cup-kantharosbegins to replace it in popularity.44 The large numberof cup-skyphoiin this well suggeststhat the fill dates to the time of maximumpopularity of this shape, the first quarter of the 4th century. The absence of kantharoi reinforces this date. The lamps from the well also point to an early 4th century date. Twelve lamps were found in the well, 11 Corinthian and 1 Attic. The single Attic lamp is an early Type 23C, a type which originates in the first quarter of the 4th century and continues into the second quarter.45Four of the Corinthian lamps were of this type. The rest of the lamps from the well are earlier, belonging to groups that are popular in the late 5th and last into the early 4th century.

THE DEPOSITS

This deposit is the largest single source of Corinthian red figure yet discovered. It produced fragments of 25 Corinthian red-figurevases and 18 Attic. The amount of pottery of every sort from the drain fill is in itself remarkable;over 100 pieces were kept, and of these over 25 per cent are red figure. The high percentage of figured pottery can not be matched by any other deposit at Corinth. The drain fill should be dated to the second quarterof the 4th century, since many of the black-glazed shapes show slightly further development than their counterpartsin Deposit 4 which is dated to the first quarter of the 4th century.47Again, the skyphoi provide a good point of comparison. Eleven skyphoi weresaved,4 of Atticmanufactureand 7 Corinthian.TheAttic skyphoidividedinto 3 of Attic TypeA48 and 1 of Corinthian type.49The latest Attic, Attic Type A skyphos shows somewhat more contraction below the lip than its latest Attic or Corinthian counterpart in the well of Deposit 4, but still is early

4th centuryat the latest.50The Corinthian-made skyphoibreakdowninto 4 of Attic TypeA,512 Corinthian,521 semi-glazed,53and 1 miniature.54The latest Attic Type A skyphos shows a definite compound curve in profile, although it is still quite stocky and cannot be later than the early second quarterof the 4th century.55The two Corinthian-typeskyphoi have narrower bases than their well counterparts, and the red wash above the base has been replaced by crosshatching. Skyphoi with crosshatchingabove the foot are definitely later in Corinthian series than those with a plain, reserved, red-washed band. The earliest examples from the North Cemeteryfall into Palmer's class of ovoid skyphoi which she dates to the middle to the third quarterof the 4th century.56None of the examples from the drain have as narrow a base as the North Cemetery examples, and they should therefore be dated to the first half of the 4th century, providing the transition between the rounded and ovoid skyphoi that is missing from the North Cemetery because of the lack of burials in the early 4th century.57

The final indicationthat the date of the drainis later than the well Deposit 4 is the presenceof 4 Attic stampedcup-kantharoi58 along with the equallysignificantabsenceof any cup-skyphoi.The well, on the otherhand,containeda numberof cup-skyphoi.Onecan logicallyassumethat the timebetween the fillingof the well and that of the drainis the periodin whichthe cup-kantharoswas beginningto replace the cup-skyphos in popularity, sometimeafter 375 B.C.59 It is interestingthat all the cup-kantharoi fromthe drainare of Attic manufacture.Thisindicatesthat while the Corinthianswere followingthe Attic trendin buyingthe new shape,the changefrom cupwas so recentthatthe Corinthianpottershadnot yet begunto producea copy skyphosto cup-kantharos of the new shapeto competewith the Attic. Thisis anothersign of the continuinginfluenceof the Attic potteryindustryon the Corinthian.

47 Much of the pottery from the drain is contemporarywith, or even earlierthan, the latest materialfrom Deposit 4. None of it, however,is as early as the earliest well pottery, and very little can be placed in the 5th century. Only four lamps were found in the drain, and they offer no help in distinguishingthe date of the drain fill from that of Deposit 4. They are all of Type 21C which can be dated to the late 5th to early 4th century (AgoraIV, p. 48). Severallamps of this type were found in Deposit 4. 48 C-37-228,C-37-230,C-37-582. 49 C-37-224. 50 C-37-228.Parallel,Agora XII, no. 348, p. 259, pl. 16.

Crosshatchingas a decorative patternon Corinthian-typeskyphoi comes into vogue over fifty years later in Corinththan in Athens (see above, Deposit 1 and footnote 11). Since the shape develops almost simultaneouslyin both cities, the differencein decorationshould be attributedto a differencein taste ratherthan to some sort of "culturallag" betweenAthens and Corinth.The plain reservedband above the foot on Corinthian-typeskyphoi continuesto be more popular than crosshatchingdown throughthe third quarterof the 4th centuryin Corinth(see below, Deposit 10). 58 C-37-211,C-37-212, C-37-217,C-37-229.Two of these have been published in Agora XII, nos. 648, 649, p. 282, pi. 56, as the earliestexamplesof cup-kantharoi.They are dated there to 390-380 B.C. 59AgoraXII, p. 111.

In summary, although no one piece of pottery in the drain deposit need be dated later than the latest material in Deposit 4, the presence of new shapes and decorative patterns, along with the absence of

certainearliershapes,indicatesa later date for the draindeposit.From the combinedinformationof Deposits4 and 5, it can be said that the periodof maximumproductionand popularityof Corinthian red figure lasted from the end of the 5th century into the second quarter of the 4th century.

repeatedalterationof the shrinefromthe late 8th centurythroughthe Hellenisticperiod.Eightbuilding phases have so far been distinguished.The area is still under study, and no final conclusions concerning the absolute dates of the phases can be drawn without further excavation. Preliminaryfindings indicate that phases 2 and 3 cover the 5th and early 4th centuries in the Spring, and the finds from these levels

up before the reconstruction. None of the shapes from this deposit are typical votives; most are cooking

and householdware.The Corinthianred figureincluded2 shallowstemlesscups, suitablefor libations, and small fragmentsof 2 kraters.A numberof squat lekythoi with women's scenes have been found in the Spring, but none appeared in this or other deposits that can be definitely connected with sanctuaryuse; rather they were part of the artificial terracing fill which could have been brought into the Spring from

elsewhere. The fill brought in at the end of phase 3 to cover the last altar produced one sherd of Corinthianred

figure,134. Fragmentswerealso foundin variouslevelsof phase4, e.g. 116, 135. The end of phase4 is tentatively dated to the third quarter of the 4th century. No relatively whole pieces of Corinthian red figure have been found in any levels later than final alteration of phase 3. A number of fragments (17, 103, 180) have been found in the fill for the racecourse alteration which is probably concurrentwith the

beginningof phase7 and datesto the thirdquarterof the 4th century. Deposit 7: Well V.64

Location: Area of the Julian Basilica, the west half of the south aisle of the cryptoporticus.

Corinthianred figure:56. Date: Early4th century. When Well V was excavated in 1915, the excavator noted that it produced many sherds of the "late

fine style" and good blackglaze.Unfortunately,only 3 piecesfrom the well can be foundat this time: 2 Attic red-figure vases and the 1 Corinthian red-figure sherd. The Attic red figure is consistent with a date in the early 4th century. One is a common shallow askos with a panther;65the other is a shallow stemless cup with saucer foot, attributed to the Q Painter66(Paralipomena,p. 500, no. 13; ARV2, p. 1519,no. 13).It is impossibleto assigna firmdate to this well, since so few piecesof pottery

from it are available.From the informationin the Notebook and the potterythat does remain,it can be tentativelydatedto the early4th century.

Almost all indications of 5th and 4th century habitation were destroyed by later leveling and terracingoperations. A well and cistern apparentlyof this period were put out of use by a re-terracing of the area in the first quarter of the 3rd century. The well contained pottery of two differentperiods. The upper fill in the well dates to the construction of the terrace and contains 3rd century West Slope kantharoi.68In the mud at the very bottom of the well, a considerable amount of pottery reportedly dating to the late 5th century was recovered. Only the figured pottery from this level can be definitely identified: the one piece of Corinthian red figure and one large fragment of an Attic red-figurecalyxkrater. The style and composition of the Attic krater are most like the Lambros pelike in the manner of the Kadmos Painter which is dated to 420-410 B.C.69The use period of this well then can be dated to 64Corinth Field Notebook no. 81, pp. 301-315, C.

Corinthian red figure: 119. Published: CorinthVII, iii, p. 217 (deposit 81). Date: Mid-4th to early 2nd century B.C. This deposit is of little value in the study of Corinthian red figure, since it yielded very few fragments of figured pottery: 1 fragmentarypalmette of a Corinthian bell-krater and 3 small pieces of Attic red figure. In addition, its stratigraphyis confused. Although the majority of the inventoriedpottery is black glaze of the mid-4th centurywith Attic Type A skyphoi of more developed shape than those in Deposit 5, one Megarian bowl fragment from the well was catalogued. This can be dated at the earliest to the beginning of the 3rd century.72Different types of fill were noted in the excavation but not in the catalogue. The uncertaintyof the stratigraphyalong with the limited amount of figuredpottery makes further study of this deposit unprofitable. Deposit 10: Filled drain and storage system under South Stoa terrace.73 Location: South Stoa terrace, southwest of Roman Bema. Corinthian red figure: 25, from pit at N-0:21-23; 83 and 85, from drain between Buildings I and II. Date: Late third to fourth quarter of the 4th century. Published: Pit at N-0:21-23, C. H. Morgan, II, "Excavations at Corinth, 1936-37," AJA 41, 1937, p. 547, pl. XIII, 2; CorinzthVII, iii, pp. 221--222(deposit 90). Drain between BuildingsI and II, C. K. Williams, II, "Corinth, 1971: Forum Area," Hesperia 41, 1972, nos. 17-58, pp. 155-163. The excavations of 1937 and 1971 have provided abundant evidence that 5th century buildings under the South Stoa terrace were destroyed and the area rebuilt at a higher level around the end of the third quarter of the 4th century. The pottery from the pit at N-0:21-23 dug in 1937 and that from a drain along the south and west walls of BuildingI excavatedin 1971are undoubtedlypart of a contemporaneous fill brought in for the re-leveling operation. The general character of the dumps and the latest skyphos shapes and lamp types are the same from both areas. In addition, at least one piece of pottery from the pit dug in 1937 joins with a sherd from the 1971 drain.74The east-west arm of the drain in fact runs along the north side of the pit.75 All of the pottery from the drain was saved for study, providing the most complete body of material yet available for a statistical survey. Since the drain and the pit pottery almost certainly belong to one deposit of contemporaneously dumped fill, I date the miniature Corinthian red-figurekrater found in the pit with the drain material but limit the statistical survey to the more complete body of material from the drain.

Examples of the latest material from the drain are published in the report of the 1971 excavations. The lowerdatefalls around330-320B.C.,76but a numberof piecesfromthe secondquarterof the 4th century

The publishedcatalogueis only a smallselectionof the moreintersurviveduntil the drainwas filled.77 estingand datablepotteryfromthe drainwhichin fact produceda vast quantityof householdpottery, both semi-finetablewaresand cookingpots. Some 136 skyphoi alone were found along with a comparablenumberof one-handledcups, bowls of varioussorts,and a varietyof cookingware. The skyphoibreakdowninto 116of Corinthianmanufactureand 20 Attic. The Attic skyphoiinclude 16AtticTypeA and4 of the Corinthiantype.Onehundredandfourof the Corinthian-made skyphoiare Attic Type A, and 12 are of the Corinthian type.78Clearly, by the middle of the 4th century, the Attic

TypeA skyphoshas totallyreplacedthe Corinthiantypeas everydaytablewarein Corinth.The changeover from the Corinthianto the Attic-typeskyphosappearsto have takenplace with no intermediate stage in which importedAttic versionsof the Attic Type A skyphoswere dominantand thereafter imitatedby Corinthianpotters(see Deposits3, 4, 5). This is markedlydifferentfrom the development of Corinthianred figureand the Corinthianwhite-groundpatternlekythoi. The proportionof Attic to Corinthianpottery in this deposit again demonstratesthe continued strengthof the Corinthianpotteryindustry.Almostall of the everydaypotteryis beingsuppliedlocally. Attic importsare limitedto a few especiallyfine or unusualshapes.79 The finerCorinthian-made pieces from the drainare not imitationsof the more delicateAttic black-glazeshapesbut ratherparticularly Corinthianshapes,oftenwith the conventionalizing color schemeof buff,brownand red.80The earliest black examplesof the CorinthianPhlyax-kratershape (for figuredexamplessee 73 and 74) with the squatbell-shapedbodyon a low ringfoot, withknobsat the sidesof the handles,appearin this deposit.81 The one relativelywholepieceof Corinthianredfigurefromthe drain,85, is a smallversionof this shape withoutthe handleknobs. This draindepositof the thirdquarterof the 4th centurygives the lowerdate for the manufactureof Corinthianred figure.No relativelywhole pieces have been found in later deposits,and fragmentsof only three Corinthian red-figurevases were found in the fill of the drain, the one almost complete, small bell-krater, one body fragment of a large krater, and uncatalogued rim fragments of another large bellkrater.The pit at N-O :21-23 produced a large portion of another small Corinthianred-figurebell-krater. The presence of so little Corinthianred figure among such a large amount of pottery in an area that had previouslyproduced the largest deposits of Corinthianred figuremost likely indicatesthat the manufacture of the imitation fabric had stopped some time before the laying of the fill and that the Corinthian redfigure pieces found in the drain are survivals from the second quarter of the 4th century.82The nearly

completepiece from the drain and the fragmentsfrom the pit are both from small trophy-sizebellkraterswhichcould be expectedto be kept as heirlooms. 76 Ibid., nos. 24 and 25, p. 157, pl. 25, Corinthian-typeskyphoi, 350-330 B.C.; nos. 27 and 28, pl. 25, Attic Type A skyphoi, 350-330 B.C.;no. 53, p. 162, pl. 27, lamp close to Type 25 A Prime (AgoraIV), last quarterof the 4th century; no. 37, p. 159, pl. 26, fish plate, 325 B.C. 77 Ibid., no. 43, p. 160, pl. 27, Attic lamp filler, ca. 350 B.c.; no. 30, pl. 25, Attic calyx-cup,second quarterof the 4th century; no. 33, pl. 26, kyathos, to the mid-4th century. 78The decorationof Corinthian,Corinthian-typeskyphoicontinuesto differfrom theirAttic counterparts.Only one of the skyphoi from the drain showed the common Attic decoration of crosshatchingabove the foot; two were completely black, which is also a common Attic scheme.The rest had a plain reservedband above the foot; this is the most common decorationfound on Corinthian, Corinthian-typeskyphoifrom the early 5th centuryon, but is rarelyfound on the Attic versionof the shapelaterthan the 6th century. 79 Seven cup-kantharoiwere found in the drain, all Attic made.

[footnote 68 above, p. 22], E2, p. 231, pl. 85). The earlier figured Phlyax versions, Berlin, S. M. F 2939, Athens, N. M. 1391 and 73, are also full size. The red-figureexamplefrom the drain is small. Since the drain is in an area of cult activity, one might consider these small kratersdedicationsor trophies. For definitionof the CorinthianPhlyax shape see below, p. 34. 82Very little Attic red figure was found in the drain or pit: two stemless-cupfragments,one krater fragment and a small squat palmettelekythos from the drain; from the pit, one krater sherd.

Thepelikewas a popularshapein the Corinthianred-figurerepertoire.In additionto the 12fragments catalogued from the Corinth collection, five complete Corinthian pelikai are on display in the Athens National Museum (N.M. inv. nos. 1473, 1476, 16025, 17471 and 17472) and one in Nauplia. Two more have been identified certainly: one in the New York Metropolitan Museum (inv. no. 57.43) and one in the Reading University Museum (inv. no. 87.35/25).1Judging from the number of complete vases of this shape from unknown contexts in collections outside Corinth, one may assume that the pelike was

a populargravegift in late 5th centuryCorinth.2 The shape of the pelike shows little development in Corinthian red figure. No whole examples have been uncovered at Corinth, but those existing in other museums are all the squat, rather simple shape of the Attic pelikai of the last quarterof the 5th century. None show the 4th centuryAthenian preference for the tall, slender shape, or high flaring neck with the handles touching the elaborate overhanginglip, exemplified by the later pelikai from Olynthos3and the numerous pelikai of Beazley's Group G.4 The Corinthian pelikai were not all produced in one decade as their similarity of shape might lead one to believe. The standardizationof the form illustrates rather the Corinthianpotters' conservativetendency

Ure kindly supplieda study photograph. 2 No red-figurepelikai have been found in the gravesof the North Cemetery,but this is a strongerargumentfor the povertyof the cemeterythan againstthe pelike as a graveoffering.The pelike was a common graveofferingelsewherein the 5th century.It was the most numerousand importantshapefound on Rheneia(DelosXXI); S.

Published by S. Weinberg, Hesperia 17, 1948, p. 230, El, pl. LXXXV.This is one of the bestpots by the Pelikai Painter.The profilesand eyes are again typical of his work (comparewith 1 and 2), but the largesize of the calyx-kraterlends a certaindignityto the figuresthat is lackingon the pelikai.The drawing of the small part of the Pegasos and Bellerophon preserved,with its completerelief contour and fine attentionto detail,showsthe carefuldraftsmanship of the better work of the Pelikai Painter. From the flatnessof the drawingof the figureson B and the inabilityto drawthe woman'sbreastsin three-quarter view, I would date this kraterfairlyearlyin the work of the Pelikai Painter, ca. 425 B.C.

BELL-KRATERS attributewith certainty,but the hand of the maenad is close to that of the satyr on the New York pelike (M.M.A. 57.43) by the HermesPainter(P1.32). The hair of the maenad,the use of reliefcontour,and the quality of the slip and glaze would also fit with the work of the HermesPainter.This kraterwas a monumental pot for Corinthianred figure. From the size of her head,the maenadmusthavebeen some0.30 m. tall; adding the rim above and the calyx and stem below, the vase must have stood nearlyhalf a meter high. The closest Attic parallelfor this pot is the name vaseof thePothosPainter(CVA,Providence1 [U.S. 2], 23[76], 1; ARV2, p. 1188, no. 1) which shows a similar Bacchic revel.

20-120 C. BELL-KRATERS

The bell-kraterwas by far the most popularshapein Corinthianred figure.Figuredfragmentsof havebeencataloguedhere,andrimfragmentsof at least34 othersexistin the Corinth over80 bell-kraters collection.6

Althoughthe Corinthianshave been creditedwith the inventionof the column-krater,the ancient name of which may in fact have been Kopiv$ioupyiS7,the bell-kraterdid not become popular in Corinthian fabric until the first imitation of Attic red figure.8The fragmentarycondition of the Corinth collection and the absence of feet and bases, which are the most diagnostic elements for the shape dating of bellkraters, make any conclusions about the shape development of the Corinthian bell-kratertenuous. One whole example of a Corinthianbell-kraterhas been preservedin Athens (31). It is by the Hermes Painter, and its foot is the simplest version of the two-degree molded krater foot, which in Attic pottery would date to the end of the 5th century.9The shape of the bowl and the placement of the handles on 31 are close to the two fragmentary bell-kraters by the Pattern and Pelikai Painters at Corinth (55 and 27). From their general resemblance, it can be assumed that their feet would also have been similar. This

simplefoot wouldhavebeendecidedlyold-fashionedin the firstquarterof the 4th century,whichis the 6 Corinth Pottery Lot 7138. This numbercan be used only as a minimum, since there is no record of how many rim, base, and other non-figuredfragmentshave been discardedover the years of excavationsat Corinth. 7A. Rumpf, ChalkidischenVasen,pp. 45, 123.J. D. Beazley,"SomeInscriptionsonAttic Vases," AJA 31,1927,no. 13,pp. 350-351, and "Some Inscriptionson Vases," AJA 45, 1941,no. 9, p. 597. Particularlyinterestingis the fact that the column-kraterwhose inscribedundersideis the major piece of evidencefor this identificationis by the SuessulaPainter,whose connectionwith Corinthis discussedin ChapterII, p. 10 and under 76. 8 This is not surprising.The bell-kraterseems to have been primarilya figuredshape, and plain bell-kratersare rare even in Attic. See Agora XII, p. 55. 9 Betweennos. 2 and 3 in Tillyard'sdiscussionof kraterfeet in TheHope Vases,p. 6.

most productiveperiod of the PatternPainter.From this, it may be tentativelyconcludedthat the Corinthianpotters showed the same conservatismin their bell-kratersas their pelikai, changingthe shape verylittle in forty to fiftyyearsof manufactureat Corinth. Thereis one strikingexceptionto this generalconservativetrend.Towardthe end of the firstquarter of the 4th century,Corinthianpottersdevelopeda distinctlyCorinthianbell-kratershapeunlikeanything in Attic. I have namedthe shape the CorinthianPhlyaxkraterbecauseof the appearanceof Phlyax scenes on several examples of it. The shape (Athens, N.M. 1391, PI. 29) is a deep, squat bowl set on a low,

wide, ring foot in two degreeswith no stem betweenthe foot and bowl. The lip is in two degreesand decoratedwith a chevrondesign or ovules like the 4th centuryAttic pelike or hydrialip. This short, squatshapewas antitheticalto the Attic taste of the 4th centurywhichgenerallyinclinedtowardheight and slenderness.Anotheruniquefeatureof these CorinthianPhlyaxkratersis the applicationof small clay knobs at eitherside of both handles.The knobs are often decoratedas flowers.No wholefigured examplesof this shapehavebeenfoundat Corinth,but therearefragmentsof at leastthreein the collection (73 and 74, and KP 2727fromthe Potters'Quarter).Onewholeexampleis on displayin the Athens NationalMuseum(Athens,N.M. 1391,PI.29) and one, previouslyin Berlin,has beenlost (S.M. F 2939, P1.31). Thesetwo pots, the Berlinone by the HermesPainterand theAthensexample,possiblyby the HermesPainterbut too sloppyto attributepositively,show somedevelopmentof this shape.The Berlin krateris shorterwith a widerfoot and handlesset lower than the later Athens example.The shape, althoughbasicallysquat, does follow the 4th centurytrend to elongation.In additionto the figured fragments,severalwhole black-glazeversionsof this shapehave been found at Corinthin 4th century contexts.10 Theyoftenhavean applied-white-and-pink garlandaroundthe handlezone.The shapeof the CorinthianPhlyaxkratershowsthat Corinthianpottersevenin theirimitativeproductswerenot always dependenton Attic prototypes. Four smallbell-kratersin the Corinthcollectionare also worthyof note for theirshape(25, 85-87). Theyare all obviouslytoo smallto serveany practicalpurposeas mixingbowls. Suchsmallbell-kraters are not unusualin Attic or South Italianware, and, as on the Corinthianexamples,they often show athleticor dramaticscenes."l Consideringthe subjectmatterand the impracticalityof their size, it is likely that these small kraters are trophies or dedications.

12The torch race, or victory ceremonyafterthe race, was a popular subjectin Corinthianred figure.There are three other representationsof youths (35, 59, 161B) holding torcheswith the hand guardthat Giglioli has shown to be typicalof the torch race (RAL, ser. 5, 31, 1922, pp. 330f.) and one representationof a bull sacrifice(80) that is very close to Attic scenes of the sacrificeafter the torch race (see discussionunder 80). The only other evidencefor a Classicaltorch race at Corinthis Pindar'sreferencein Olympian XIII to a certainXenophonof Corinthwho won seventimes at the Hellotia. The scholiaidentifythis as a festivalof Athenaat Corinth in which young men run carryingtorches(Scholiaveterain Pindaricarmina,ed. A. B. Drachmann,Leipzig, 1903-27, I, pp. 367-369). Consideringthat there is good evidencefor torch races honoring at least five gods in 5th centuryAthens-Hephaistos, Prometheus, Athena (IG 12,84: the regulationsfor the Hephaisteiain 421/20 B.c.), Pan (Herodotos,VI, 105)and ArtemisBendis(Plato, Republic, 327a and 354a),it is likely that therewas more than one torch-racegod in ClassicalCorinthand one should not assign all torch-race scenes to Athena Hellotis on the basis of the single survivinglate literaryreference.Also, the presenceof the dancing satyr on 35 and Dionysos on 161 suggestsa more Bacchic festival for some of the Corinthiantorch racers.

The interior details on a are drawn with a thin, broken relief line which has peeled in many places leaving traces of what looks like dilute glaze below. This same yellow color appears throughout the pot. It is impossible to say with certainty whether this is a thin slip or the remains of peeled glaze, or a combination of the two. On b the details of the himation are drawn with the same peeling relief line as on a; no traces of relief line remain on the folds of the chiton, however.

His most elaboratevase is a neckamphora in the Louvre depicting a multi-leveled gigantomachy:A-H-S, pl. 221; ARV2, p. 1344, no. 1. A neck-amphorain New York (M.M.A. 17.46.1): ARV2,p. 1344,no. 2; Richter-Hall,pl. 162, is one of his simplestworks and comes closest to the Corinth krater. It shows a young warrior leaving home, standingwith his horse and two spears.To his right is an old man in much the samepositionas the righthand figureon the Corinthkrater.To left is a woman with a phiale. There is one more figure on the New York vase, another young warrior standing to far right. In addition, appliedwhite is used in quantity. The youth'shorseis entirelywhite;the old man'shair and beardare white. The old man on the New York amphorais dressedmuch more elaborately,wearing a decoratedchiton under his himation. The central composition,however,is similarto the Corinthvase. The mantle figureson the reverseof the Corinthian krater are almost identical to those on the back of another New York neck-amphoraby the Suessula Painter(M.M.A. 44.11.12:ARV2,p. 1344,no. 5), and are also similarto those on a bell-kraterof his in the British Museum (B.M. 55.4-22.1: ARV2, p. 1345,

no. 12). These same mantlefiguresappearon 77, the only other exampleof the SuessulaPainter'swork at Corinth. Theclayof theCorinthkrateris definitelyCorinthian, and the hand of the reverse,at least, is that of the SuessulaPainter.The uncharacteristic simplicityof the obversecan be explainedas the painter'scateringto local taste. This vase and the fragment77 are the only examplesof an Attic painterpaintingon a Corinthian pot. How long the SuessulaPainterstayedin Corinth, whyhe cameandwhyhe left aremattersof speculation.

As for the date of the kraterand the SuessulaPainter's stay in Corinth, Beazley mentions it in his article, "MiniaturePanathenaics,"BSA 41, 1940-45, p. 17. He identifiesit, probablyfrom Morgan'sexcavation reportphotographs,as an Attic red-figurekrater,of "about 425 B.C.". Allowing for the conservatism of

Corinthiantaste, I would date it slightly later, ca. 420-410 B.C. 77 (C-37-445) Bell-krater fragment

bull being led to sacrificeby a womanin front and a man at its side. To Beazleythe drawingof the Attic vase "somewhatrecalls the Dinos painter": ARV2, p. 1190, underno. 32. The presenceof racerson the othersideof theAtticvase,andthefactthatthewoman leading the bull carriesa torch with a hand guard, place its subjectas the ceremonyafterthe torch race, and it falls into a whole series of such scenes. For a list, see Metzger, Representations, pp. 351-355, and

idem,Imagerie,p. 112. The similarityin composition betweenthe Attic stamnos and an early 4th century calyx-kraterin Mannheim(ARV2,p. 1435; Metzger, Representations, pl. XLVI, 3) causes Corbett to hypothesizethat "both are faithfulrepresentationsof the samemodel" (Corbett,p. 349). If this is true, one mightsay that the SketchPaintersaw the samemodel. The Attic stamnos,Mannheimkraterand Corinthian fragmentsare the only representationsof this scene that show a womanor Nike actuallyleadingthe bull. The Corinthian fragment differs from the Attic versionsin one significantway: the bull is not restive. As a resulthis forelegsare not raisedand do not cut across the drapery of the figure leading him. The figurewith the reinsat the bull's side is leaningback, as if trying to restrainthe bull. It seems that the Corinthianpainter did not entirely think out the dynamicsof his scene. There are, of course, a number of bull-sacrifice scenesin Attic redfigurethat haveno connectionwith the torchrace. E. M. Hooker,in "The Sanctuaryand Altar of Chrysein Attic Red-figureVase Paintingof the Late Fifth Century"(JHS 70, 1950, pp. 35-41), cites four such representations.The compositionof one of these, a pelike in Leningrad(ARV2,p. 1346, no. 1; Beazleyidentifiesthe hand as the Kiev Painter, but Schefoldprefersthe PronomosPainter),is similar to thatof the Corinthfragment:a youth,leadinga bull to an altar,standsbesideit, leaningback and holding in each hand reinswhichlead off to the bull's horns. This youth, however,wears an elaborate,decorated chiton,while ours is nude. In dealingwith scenesof bulls beingled to sacrifice in the late 5th century,one must alwaysconsiderthe Nike parapetfriezeas a possiblemodel(R. Carpenter, The Sculptureof the Nike Parapet, Cambridge, Mass.,

1929,p. 22, pl. 7). Whateverthe primaryor secondary model for the Corinthianfragment, stylisticallyit clearlyfalls into the late 5th century.Whetherit in fact shows the ceremonyafterthe torch race or some other sacrificeis a matter of speculation,but the presenceof threeotherCorinthianvasesdepictingthe torch-race ceremony (21, 35, 59) favors the interpretationof our scene as part of that rite. 81 (C-37-258)Bell-kraterfragment PI. 14 Deposit 5.

HYDRIAI to right and her body turned three-quarters right. She wears a light unbelted peplos. Her hair is long and tied up in a lampadion. She holds a long string in her extended left hand which may be the cord for this type of headdress. Below the figure zone is a band of stopped meanders and dotted-saltire squares that continues all the way around the vase. The front of the neck is decorated by a band of five enclosed palmettes separated from each other by pairs of small circles. The palmettes are bordered below by a band of black-glaze tongues and above by a narrow reserved band. The lower degree of the lip is reserved and decorated with sloppy blackglaze chevrons. The upper degree is reserved. The inset for the cover is black glazed. On the back of the vase, below the vertical handle, is a double palmette: the upper palmette has seven leaves, the lower nine. The lower palmette is bordered on each side by a volute tendril which rises and divides into two, sending a tendril above and below each horizontal handle. The upper tendrils project slightly into the figure zone above the heads of the women on either side. The rest of the exterior and the interior of the neck are covered with black glaze. Relief contour for the profile of the woman on the far left; no other relief contour. Fine relief line for eyes, draperyand other interior detail. Reserve contour for heads. Applied white for nuts and eggs on top of gift box. Applied white with pink miltos wash for all wreaths and headbands. No slip. Miltos on all reserved surfaces. Good black glaze, but thin in places. This is an exceptionally fine piece by the Pelikai Painter. The carefully outlined profile and eye of the woman on far left with its distinctly drawn, halfclosed lid are matched only by those of the Pelikai Painter's Bellerophon on side A of 15. The delicate outlining of the rosette on the tympanon is comparable to the leaves and wings on 15. The less skillful signs of the Pelikai Painter's hand are also visible on this hydria. Here again, the painter shows his general reluctance to deal with the three-quarter view. All heads are in direct profile while the bodies are frontal, with the exception of the far left figure where he does attempt to present the torso in a three-quarter view but hides the anatomy by meaningless draperypatterns. His usual problem with proportion is also evident. The heads of the women are much too big for their bodies, although this is masked by the curve of the shoulder, which distorts in any case. The foot and big toe of the bride are gigantic in proportion to her body. Note also the characteristic drawing of the eyes of the bride and the right-hand figure with their wide-eyed stare and the eyebrow extending to the bridge of the nose. This vase with its combination of the worst and the best of the Pelikai Painter's traitsprovides an important reference point for identifying other fragments by the same hand. It illustrates the variation within the

57

Pelikai Painter's work; by studying it we can ascertain the range and limits of the painter's work and assign other fragments of greatly varying quality to him with some certainty. Hydriai with domestic scenes such as this are common among the Attic vases of the late 5th century. For a series of women's scenes on hydriai, see CVA, Louvre 9 [France 14], 54 [639]. Two late 5th century Attic parallels close in shape and decoration to the Corinth vase can be cited: one in the Manner of the Meidias Painter: Wurzburg inv. no. 536, ARV2, p. 1321, no. 7; Langlotz, pl. 197; the other by the Nikias Painter: Louvre CA 161, ARV2, p. 1335, no. 30, CVA, Louvre 9 [France 14], 53 [638], 1, 3-6 and 8. Both of these vases illustrate the relative simplicity of Corinthian red figure in comparison to contemporary Attic. The secondary decoration on this vase, although unusually complex for Corinthian, is plain when compared with the Attic; there are no figures or decoration under the handles, and the double palmette and tendrils leave much of the back of the vase uncovered.

The woman at the far right faces the bride and is also painted in an unsuccessful attempt at a three-quarter view, twisted slightly to the left from frontal. Her left hand is on her waist, her right at her side beginning to hold up the sagging peplos which she wears. In the field between the bride and the left-hand woman hangs a garland. No relief contour. Relief line and full glaze for interior detail. Reserve contour for heads. Applied white with pink wash for headdresses and eggs and fruit; plain applied white for necklaces and earrings. No slip; miltos on all reserved surfaces. Thin, dull black glaze. This is one of the worst extant pieces by the Pelikai Painter. It is badly potted as well as painted. The neck is separating from the body and the handle from the shoulder. The painting suits the pot; it shows all the worst traits of the Pelikai Painter: lack of anatomical accuracy, stiffness, heavily drawn eyes. Note the stringed headdress; compare with 4 by the same painter. The shape is that of a Beazley Shape 4 oinochoe, never a particularly popular shape in Attic red figure. It was most common in the second half of the 5th century and was a favorite shape of the Shuvalov Painter and also of the Bull Painter. For the shape see two by the Shuvalov Painter in Ferrara: CVA, Ferrara 1 [Italy 37], 23 [1667], 1-3; 24 [1668], 1. The foot on the Corinth version is simpler and the pot seems slightly more slender. The two by the Shuvalov Painter date to 430-420 B.C. I would put the Corinthian version later, ca. 420-410 B.C.

The exteriorof the foot was meant to be completelyblack glazed but only dribbles of glaze reached the lower degree. This accident proves an important technical point: the unglazedportion of the foot is definitelyunslipped and it cannot be arguedthat a hypotheticalslip has peeled away with the glaze, since the area never was glazed. This is one of the few instanceswhere the completeabsenceof slip can be definitelyproved. It is particularlyimportanthere because the glaze on this pot has adheredvery well to the surface.As a result,the argumentthat glaze only adhereswell to a slippedsurfacecan be discarded.

133-146 F. LEKYTHOI All of the Corinthian red-figure lekythoi found at Corinth are of the squat type which became popular

in Attic red figure in the second half of the 5th century.20No cylinder lekythoi of Corinthianred figure have been found, but Corinthian potters did make a white-ground imitation of the Beldam-shape pattern lekythos.21 The Corinthian squat lekythoi are of two types: one (138-146) of a tall ovoid shape, often with a tongue decoration on the neck, most like the Attic type illustrated in CVA, Oxford 1 [G.B. 3], 40 [132], 6; the other type (133-137) more globular with a squatter, almost miniature body, in shape most like CVA, Oxford 1 [G.B. 3], 40 [132], 20. Both shapes of squat lekythos are popular in Attic red figure of the late 5th century, and there seems to be little difference in the subjects painted on the two, although as a rule the better painting goes on the taller shape, with the stouter more often taking the stock decoration of a single head or animal. Women's genre scenes dominate the decoration of both versions of the shape, and this is true on the Corinthian pieces also. The Corinthian lekythoi are carefully potted with attention given to the moldings of the underside and foot. The painting is so hasty and standardized, it is difficult to say whether they are the products of one or more workshops. The short globular lekythoi with their flat drawing are closer to the style of the Pelikai Painter than most of the taller ones, but this difference may be due to the greater expenditure of effort on the taller lekythoi, as is the case in Attic. Certain similarities in the drawing on all of the lekythoi suggest that they come from one workshop, and the variations in drawing and techniques are due to the development of the style of the painters in that one shop, namely the Pelikai Painter, and the Pattern Painter who takes over from him at some undistinguishable point. 133 (CP 1680) Squat-lekythos fragment P1. 24 Th.

This fragment is from a tall ovoid lekythos such as 138 and 140-142, but the style and subject of the painting are closer to the smaller, more globular lekythoi (133-137). Compare the rendering of the chiton on this piece with that on 134 and the alabastron here with the one on 136.

palmette and "Z" meander on this fragment and on 142, but draws the figure of the woman on this piece so hastily that he confuses the drapery, painting the end of the himation thrown over the woman's left shoulder with the linen-like pleats of the chiton showing on her free right arm. It is unclear whether the artist of these pots is the Pelikai Painter himself (compare the hooks of the himation on this fragment with 135) at a later, more ornamental stage of his career, the Pattern Painter at his worst, or another painter kept specifically for the assembly-line lekythos work. 141 (C-68-98) Squat-lekythos fragment PI. 24 Deposit 6.

Wide, low disk foot with concave bottom; low, convex, splaying sides; sharp angular transition to shallow convex top. Maximum diameter at transition between sides and top. Judging from the stump, the askos had a strap handle. On one side of top, the head and shoulders of a youth wearing a pilos and cloak in profile to right; on the other side, a hare bounding to right. Bottom of foot reserved; resting surface and outside black glazed. No relief contour. Relief line and dilute glaze for interior details. Miltos on all reserved surfaces. No slip. A very shiny, brown-yellow, dilute-glaze wash for much of the hare's body. Dull, sticky, green-black glaze, fired to reddish brown in places. Dark, dilute glaze on interior. Published by S. Weinberg, Hesperia 17, 1948, no. 5, p. 229, pl. 84. The youth's head on an askos is unusual. The common decorations on Attic askoi are animals, such as the hare on the other side of this piece and the leopards on 148 and 149. Heads do appear often on Attic askoi, but they are generally those of women, Persians, or Arimasps. The head on this askos and a similar one on 184, a plate, have a counterpart on a Boiotian plate in the Athens National Museum (inv. no. 1411) published by A. D. Ure, "Boeotian Vases with Women's Heads," AJA 57, 1953, p. 249, fig. 16, pl. 69. Ure notes, "Heads of men

151-170 I. SKYPHOI Fragmentsof 17 red-figureskyphoifoundat Corinthandtwo fromAthenshavebeencataloguedhere. All those whose profiles are sufficientlypreservedto make the distinction between Attic Type A and the

Corinthiantype are of Attic TypeA (151-153,155, 156, 160-166).This shapedoes show development in Corinthianred figure,from the late 5th centuryexamples151, 152, and 162 with hardlyany sign of curve before the lip to 160 and 161 whichdo show a distinctcompoundcurvedatableto the second quarterof the 4th century. Fourfragmentsof owl cups (167-170)may be fromthe Attic TypeB glauxskyphoi,with one vertical and one horizontalhandle.25As their name indicates,these cups are often decoratedwith Athena's symbol,the owl. Manycupswiththis owl decoration,however,are of the Attic TypeA shapewithboth owl cups handleshorizontal;26in the absenceof anyhandlefragmentsattachedto the Corinthian-made it is impossibleto determinewhetherthey are from the Attic TypeA or B shape. Thereare in the Corinthcollectionseveraluncataloguedrim fragmentsfrom oversizedAttic TypeA skyphoi,such as the Corinthianred-figureexamplesin Athens,160 and 161; one such body fragment, 165, has been cataloguedhere in additionto the uncertainfragments157-159.It is possiblethat some fragmentshave been cataloguedas bell-kraters,since small pieces from the upperbodies of the two shapesare indistinguishable. One interestingfact is the large numberof skyphosfragmentsfrom the Sanctuaryof Demeterand Kore. The majorityof the Corinthianred figurefrom the Sanctuarycomesfrom oversizeskyphoi.This would indicatesome sort of dedicatoryuse for such vessels.27 151 (C-37-439) Fragmentary Attic Type A skyphos P1. 25 of Diam. rim 4.

red-figurestemlesscups are decoratedwith an ovule patternaroundthe tondo, almostunparalleledin Attic cupswhichusuallyhavethe tondoencircledby a meander.Theconsistencyandrarityof this tondo decorationsuggestthat the Corinthianstemlesscups wereall made in one workshop.The shapedoes showsomedevelopment,becomingprogressivelyshallowerandless cup-likefrom173to 175.31Sincethe stemlesscupsweremadespecificallyfor ritualuse, they representanotherset of special-occasion pots in red Corinthian figure. early No red-figureversionsof the more common,deepercup suitablefor drinkinghave been found at Corinth.However,at least two Corinthianpotters'shopsproducedratherelegantstampedversionsof the shape.32 171 (CP 1005)Stemlesscup P1.28 Deposit 1.

M. QUESTIONABLEPIECES187Q, 188Q The collection and study of the Corinthian red-figureware at Corinth has made it possible to see the technical and stylistic range of the fabric and to judge more certainly than before what oddities do or

do not fall withinthis range.Two vases in the Corinthcollectionpreviouslypublishedas possiblyof Corinthianmanufacture,T 738 (187Q) and C-47-85(188Q), do not fall withinthis rangeand in my opinionwereneitherpottednor paintedin Corinth. P1. 29 187Q (T 738) Squat Lekythos H. 0.097, max. Diam. 0.061, Diam. of foot 0.047. Deep, double-curved mouth, slight flare at lip, groove between mouth and neck and between neck and shoulder. Neck bulges below lip where handle joins. Narrow base, cutting in quickly to a slightly flaring, ring (corrupted torus) foot rounded toward resting surface. Mended from many joining pieces, a few chips missing. Provenience: North Cemetery, Grave 422, no. 10. Swan facing right above a reserved base line, volute plant in front of him, blob behind feet. No relief contour. Relief line and glaze for interior markings. No slip; no miltos except for underside of foot. Published in Corinth XIII, p. 272, fig. 23. Palmer compares it to the Mina Painter's lekythoi. She notes, however, that the clay is unusually pale for Attic and may be Corinthian. Squat lekythoi decorated with a single, sloppy animal or human head were turned out in great numbers for the export trade by late 5th century Attic painters.35 The Mina Painter, ARV2, pp. 1366-1367, the Painter of the Mayence Sphinx, ARV2, pp. 1363-1364, the Worst Painter, ARV2, pp. 1353-1354, and the Straggly Painter, ARV2, pp. 1367-1368, all produced this type of lekythos almost exclusively. The quality of the vases, as may be inferred from the names of the painters, was never very high. As a result it is impossible to identify the Corinthian imitation by the inferiority of its technique or lack of artistic merit. In addition, all of

the definitely Corinthian red-figure lekythoi are decoratedwith women's scenes,and none carriesthe standardizedsingle head or animalmotif commonin Attic. The decoration,then, can be consideredmore Attic than Corinthian. There is nothing in the provenienceof 187Q that arguesagainstan Attic origin.It was found in a late 5th centurygrave,and, althoughAttic importsfall off at that time in the North Cemetery(see ChapterIII, Deposit 2), they never cease completely.In fact, a definitely Attic red-figurelekythos (T 735)36was found

in this samegrave. Finally,the fabric:It is pale for Attic but is much more micaceousthan the common Corinthianclay, andthe glazehasa moremetallicshinethanCorinthian pottersusuallyattained.Consideringthe threeelements together,the common Attic subject,the provenience with anotherAttic vase, and the ambivalenceof the clay, I would say that 187Q is Attic.

QUESTIONABLE PIECES turned left toward another youth. He wears a petasos and holds a fillet in his upraised left hand; he is leaning his right elbow on the throne. A cloak covers part of the throne. The upper part of the throne is rather shapeless and could easily be an undistinguished rock, but the lower part is drawn so as to appear suspiciously like an Ionic base. There are no interior markings. The youth at left stands right facing Hermes. He is naked except for a cloak over his left arm, one end of which is caught up over his right shoulder; the material in between covers his chest like a bib. He is offering something to Hermes from a flat plate he holds in his left hand, possibly a bunch of grapes in applied white which has now completely faded (see Pnyx, II, no. 94) or perhaps he is sprinkling incense as in Pnyx, II, no. 266. Volutes and an acanthus project into the scene from the handle zone; towards the base the feet of both Hermes and the youth project into the handle palmettes. This is carefully done; the feet do not overlap the palmettes, but rather areas have been cut out for them in an attempt to integrate the handle and figure zones. B. A naked, winged youth, probably Eros, riding horse to right. The heads of both youth and horse are missing. The chest of Eros is three-quarters frontal. He leans back, resting some of his weight on his right hand on the horse's haunch. His feathers are drawn with vertical relief lines crossed at four places by horizontal lines of dilute glaze. The horse is rearing somewhat, its weight on its rear legs, forelegs raised. At the right the forelegs of the horse and the foot of Eros project into, but not over, the handle ornament, just like the figures on side A. At the left the tail of the horse extends into the handle zone. The handle ornament itself consists of a large, central, enclosed palmette under each handle with volutes springing from either side up into the figure zone where they give rise to acanthus forms. The bases of the volutes to each side of side A have been left out to make room for the feet of Hermes and the youth.

Around the rim is a reserved band with egg-and-dot pattern. Underside of base reserved with three narrow concentric circles at center. Interior surface of foot glazed; resting surface reserved. Exterior black glazed with top of foot and beginning of body reserved. No relief contour, but carefully drawn nonetheless. Relief line of varying thicknesses and dilute glaze for interior markings. Hermes' hair is drawn with separate strands of dilute glaze. Relief line is not used to distinguish the surfaces of individual intersecting figures, e.g. Hermes' left foot and the rock throne, his right foot and the palmette. They are very clearly separated, instead, by a wide, flat, full black-glaze outline. Good, lustrous black glaze, fired light brown toward the base and red on the underside. The glaze inside has fired red and brown in a very regular circle toward the base. Orange-buff slip, traces of a heavy rust-red incrustation. This second questionable vase is more problematic. It is an Attic Type A skyphos excavated and published in 1947.37 In the discussion of the Corinthian red figure at Perachora, this vase is cited as an example of Corinthian slipped ware.38The shape is paralleled in both Attic and Corinthian red figure.39The clay is not Corinthian; it has an orange-gold color giving the reserved areas rich gold-buff color without need for miltos. It is much coarser grained than Corinthian clay. The painting style finds much closer parallels outside Corinth. The technique of outlining the figures with a wide black band and cutting them into the handle zone is like nothing in Corinthian red figure. An Attic redfigure skyphos in Braunschweig is so close in style that it may even be by the same painter: CVA, Braunschweig 1 [Germany 4], 27 [173], 6. Another skyphos of similar shape and style was published in 1910 as Etruscan.40188Q may not be Attic, but it certainly is not Corinthian.
