Attributed to the Meleager Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Poseidon and Amymone with Amphitrite, Aphrodite, Dionysos, satyrs, and maenads

The subject here is the same as on the hydria 56.171.55, and the general composition is similar. Interesting differences include the greater prominence of Amymone and the presence of Amphitrite, Poseidon's consort.
