Title: Grave Stele of Pollis Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Greek (Megarian) Place: Megara, Greece (Place Created) Date: about 480 B.C. Medium: Parian marble Object Number: 90.AA.129 Dimensions: 153 × 45.1 × 15.9 cm (60 1/4 × 17 3/4 × 6 1/4 in.) Inscription(s): Inscription: I speak, I, Pollis, dear son of Asopichos, not having died a coward, with the wounds of the tattooers, yes myself." Translation follows that proposed by J. Bousquet, L. Dubois, and O. Masson in SEG 41.413 Alternate Title: Gravestone of Pollis (Display Title) Department: Antiquities Classification: Sculpture Object Type: Relief The muscular warrior carved in low relief on this stele (gravestone) wears only a crested helmet and carries a shield, sword, and spear. He appears to be advancing into battle with his shield raised and his spear ready. The strap that suspended the sword hanging at his side was originally added in paint, as were other details of the decoration. The figure is identified in the Greek inscription written above him as Pollis: ΛΕΓΟ ΠΟΛΛΙΣ ΑΣΟΠΙΧΟ ΦΙΛΟΣ Η[Υ]ΙΟΣ: Ο ΚΑΚΟΣ ΕΟΝ ΑΠΕΘΝΑΣΚΟΝ ΗΥΠΟ ΣΤ[Ι]ΚΤΑΙΣΙΝ ΕΓΟΝΕ (“I, Pollis, dear son of Asopichos, speak: Not being a coward, I, for my part, perished at the hands of the tattooers.”). The tattooed enemy referred to in the epitaph were the Thracians, a tribe from the north that fought on the side of the Persian invaders in the war of 480–479 B.C. Although the Greeks were victorious, Pollis lost his life. The form of the Greek letters seen here was distinctive to Megara, a city located between Athens and Corinth. In form, the stele retains the tall narrow shape popular in the Archaic period, yet its decoration looks forward to the early Classical period. Sculptors of the period from about 480-450 B.C. displayed a new interest in the representation of space, movement, and human anatomy. Shown mostly in profile view with accurate musculature and a foreshortened shield, the figure of Pollis conveys a sense of three-dimensionality. This effect is all the more remarkable, give the stele’s very shallow carving. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/13049/unknown-maker-grave-stele-of-pollis-greek-megarian-about-480-bc

Title: Attic Red-Figure Oinochoe, Shape 3 (Chous) Artist/Maker: Attributed to Oionokles Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 470 B.C.) Culture: Greek (Attic) Place: Athens, Greece (Place Created) Date: about 470 B.C. Medium Terracotta Object Number: 86.AE.237 Dimensions: 23 × 18.6 cm (9 1/16 × 7 5/16 in.) Alternate Titles: Wine Jug with a Drinker and His Slave (Display Title) Boy Serving a Reveler (Published Title) Previous Attribution: Oionokles Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 470 B.C.) Department: Antiquities Classification: Vessels Object Type: Chous With his head tilted back, his mouth open as if singing, and his arms thrown out in a dramatic gesture, the man on this vase shows the effects of a long night of drinking. Luckily, a servant-boy is there, anticipating his master's needs. The boy stands patiently carrying his master's belongings--a walking stick and a basket covered with a cloth--and holds out a vessel for him to urinate into. The jug he offers is a chous, a special form of oinochoe (wine-pitcher), and it is the very same shape as the vase on which this scene is depicted. Reinforcing the connection, another chous stands at the far right of the scene, garlanded with ivy. Shape and decoration are, therefore, neatly tied on this vase. The chous was used during the Anthesteria, a three-day religious festival in honor of Dionysos, the god of wine. A drinking contest was held on the second day of the festival, and these jugs were used to hold a standard amount of wine for the contest.
