Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)
Epiktetos
ca. 510 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Komast (reveler) with skyphos (deep drinking cup) and oinochoe (jug) Among the very early red-figure artists who specialized in kylikes, Epiktetos was one of the most accomplished. The ease of execution, combined with the elegant simplicity of the shape and decoration, represents Greek vase-painting at its finest. It is certainly intentional that the skyphos is so much larger than the oinochoe and that it is balanced on his forearm.
