Extract

The title calls for a word of explanation. I use ‘mid-sixth-century black-figure’ as a convenient term for the vases made not only in 550 B.C., but in the decade or so before and the two decades after the middle of the century: the work of Lydos, Exekias, the Amasis painter, and their contemporaries. I shall not say much about the cups of the period, for I have already dealt with the chief sort, the ‘little-master cups,’ elsewhere (JHS. 52, pp. 167–204). The shapes we shall be mainly concerned with are the amphora, the neck-amphora, and the hydria; which, with the cup, are the dominant shapes in this and the succeeding phase of black-figure. My order will be not strictly chronological, but not quite arbitrary either.
