Terracotta stamnos (jar)
Attributed to the Altamura Painter
Period: Classical
Date: ca. 470 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; red-figure
Dimensions: H. 15 3/16 in. (38.5 cm); diameter mouth 9 7/16 in. (24 cm); diameter foot 7 1/4 in. (18.5 cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Fletcher Fund, 1956
Accession Number: 56.171.51
Description:
Obverse, Peleus wrestles with the sea nymph Thetis while her two companions flee
Reverse, two sea nymphs approach their father, Nereus
Both Zeus and Poseidon desired Thetis; but, after they learned that she was fated to bear a son who would be stronger than his father, she was married off to Peleus, a mortal. As Peleus tried to catch her, she evaded him by changing into many different forms. Here, however, he has finally secured his bride, the future mother of the great hero Achilles.
