079 - Removal of Koroné

ETRUSCAN / (Text translated by Google) / Interpretation of a painting on red-figured Attic amphora from 510 BC to Euthymides. In continuation of the series still very Hellenized Etruscan, here is a scene long attributed to Theseus with the beautiful Helen, it would also be removed before the Trojan War, like many others throughout his life ... In fact, he would rather be one of the most beautiful women of Athens then called Korona. This most recent award was finally confirmed by a few specialists, I'm obviously not an artist obliges! The scene has obviously been customized by your professional plagiarist. On the left, bouncing a rival is ready to do battle with a fish as a bludgeon. At right, a spurned lover or husband begs in vain! Three typical Greek vases: a pitcher with a bird on the edge, a lebes in the middle and a lekythos. On the right the sacred tripod, a dog can be threatening and a bird also characteristic of the Greco-Etruscan. Table monogrammed and signed in black around it.
Amphora: The most famous of Greek vases, which was 20-100 cm (8-40 inches) tall, and was intended to carry wine, olives, oil and seasonings. Its name comes from the fact that it has two handles to be worn.
Lebes: 20-50 cm (8-20 inches) tall and used to carry water.
Lekythos: 15-50 cm (6-20 inches) high and was used to contain oil scented especially for religious and funerary rites. This vase was placed on the grave of the deceased. But the anointing oil was too expensive, too many of these lekythoi had an abnormally thick layer of clay to have the smallest capacity possible. Man has he changed much since?
Tripod sacred: attribute the Pythia who sat on the sacred tripod and thus gave predictions more or less incoherent ecstatic. Heracles the consultation without success and furious, flew the tripod. Apollo tried to take in a fight without a winner when Zeus finally intervened for them to reconcile.
