Detail of a Terracotta Lekythos Attributed to the Brygos Painter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2018
Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
ca. 480–470 B.C.
Attributed to the Brygos Painter
Athena holding spear and aphlaston (a symbol of naval victory)
Object Details
Title: Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Attributed to the Brygos Painter
Period: Classical
Date: ca. 480–470 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; red-figure
Dimensions: H. 13 3/8 in. (34 cm); diameter of body 4 3/16 in. (10.6 cm); diameter of foot 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm); diameter of mouth 2 7/16 in. (6.2 cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Purchase, The Cesnola Collection, by exchange, 1925
Accession Number: 25.189.1
Athena holds the curved stern of a trireme (warship) with a decorative attachment at the end. Following a rich strike of silver in Attica, the Athenian commander Themistokles persuaded the assembly to use the financial windfall to build a navy. By 480 B.C., Athens was able to provide the largest contingent of ships when the Greeks faced and defeated the Persians in a naval battle at Salamis. The Athenian navy came to dominate the eastern Mediterranean, and this vase may commemorate a victory at sea.
