Cratere a volute raffigurante lotte tra Greci e Amazzoni e tra Centauri e Lapiti

ca. 450 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 153
Sebbene i testi letterari del V secolo a.C. documentino come i Greci avessero compreso la portata della loro vittoria nelle guerre persiane (490-479 a.C.), gli artisti greci non raffiguravano quasi mai nelle loro opere i principali eventi storici o i personaggi che ne presero parte. Preferivano invece rappresentare grandi battaglie mitologiche tra Greci e i nemici dell’Est, soprattutto le Amazzoni, mitiche guerriere. Nella prima metà del V secolo a.C., grandi dipinti di tali scontri decoravano le pareti del Tempio di Efesto e del Portico dipinto, la Stoa Poikile di Atene. Le scene illustrate sul cratere a volute qui raffigurato (un vaso per mescere acqua e vino) si ispirano a tali dipinti.
