Fragment of a Terracotta Kylix Attributed to Makron in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2011

Fragment of a Terracotta Kylix Attributed to Makron in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2011

Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)

Attributed to Makron

Period: Classical

Date: ca. 480 B.C.

Culture: Greek, Attic

Medium: Terracotta

Dimensions: H. 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm) diameter 4 13/16 in. (12.2 cm)

Classification: Vases

Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1907

Accession Number: 07.286.49

Description:

Interior, two men reclining and nude youth, labeled Amykos, on the ground

In this representation, Makron seems to adapt a symposium scene (drinking party) to a mythological subject. The ship Argo set out form Greece eastward in search of the Golden Fleece. The participating heroes included Jason, Peleus, Meleager, Herakles, and the Dioskuroi—Castor and Pollux. At one point in the journey, King Amykos challenged the Dioskuroi to a boxing match and was defeated. The scene here may depict the two heroes, reclining with phialai (libation bowls) for offerings, and the vanquished Amykos.
