Publisher's Synopsis
This offers a thoroughly researched, amply illustrated study of the Codrus Painter that comments on the mythology, religion, arts, athletics, and daily life of Greece depicted on his vases. It evaluates his style and the defining characteristics of his own hand and of the minor painters associated with him. This analysis not only encompasses the cultural milieu of the Athenian metropolis, but also offers an original and intriguing perspective on the adoption, meaning, and use of imported Attic vases among the Etruscans.
