Detail of a Terracotta Oinochoe Attributed to the Mannheim Painter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2011
Terracotta oinochoe (jug)
Attributed to the Mannheim Painter
Period: Classical
Date: ca. 440 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; red-figure
Dimensions: H. 13 1/8 in. (33.4 cm) diameter 9 in. (22.9 cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1906
Accession Number: 06.1021.189
Description:
Three Amazons
The Amazons on this splendid oinochoe are all named. Iole leads; she is equipped with a pelta (crescent-shaped shield), a bow and quiver, and a battle-ax. Antiope, facing forward, leads a horse and holds two spears. Penthesilea follows with a pelta, a bow and quiver, and spears. Antiope and Penthesilea were well known for their part in the lives of Theseus and Achilles, respectively. Throughout Greek art, in depictions of combat between Greeks and their enemies, the latter are always rendered as worthy antagonists. This perception applies particularly to Amazons.
