Cratera com volutas que mostra batalhas entre gregos e amazonas e entre centauros e lápidas

ca. 450 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 153
Embora as obras literárias do século V documentem que os gregos entendiam a magnitude de sua vitória nas Guerras Persas ( 490–479 a.C.), os artistas gregos raramente representavam sucessos ou personagens históricos e preferiam cenas mitológicas de batalhas entre gregos e adversários do Oriente, sobretudo as amazonas (mulheres guerreiras míticas). Durante a primeira metade do século V. a.C., as pinturas murais em grande escala dessas batalhas decoravam o Teseion (templo de Hefesto) e a Stoa Poikilé ( pórtico pintado), em Atenas. A influência dessas pinturas murais desaparecidas se reflete nas cenas desta cratera com voluta (vaso que servia para misturar água e vinho).
