Detail of the Hydria Attributed to the Leagros Group in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Terracotta Hydria (water jar)
Greek, Attic, black-figure, ca. 510 BC
Attributed to the Leagros Group
On the body, Achilles and Ajax playing a board game at Troy
On the shoulder, chariot departing
Accession # 56.171.29
The scene on the body depicts one of the most popular subjects in Greek art, mainly vase-painting, between about 540 and 480 BC. Over 150 occurrences are known. Remarkably, the original composition survives on an amphora in the Vatican Museums. The artist was Exekias, the potter and painter whose work represents the height of black-figure painting. In this variant, the painter has placed Athena stage center as the two primary Greek heroes of the Trojan War while away their time playing a game in which pieces are moved according to the roll of dice.
