ATTRIBUTED TO THE COARSER WING, CIRCA 500 B.C.

The tondo of this cup presents a crouching satyr. Far more interesting are the partially preserved scenes on the exterior. One side depicts a maenad holding a thyrsos and a snake at the the head of a procession, including a quadriga presumably with Dionysos in the chariot. Beside the horses is a bearded draped figure, most likely a satyr, playing a kithara. For a similar scene see the cup by Oltos, Beazley Archive Database no. 200502. The other side shows several scenes from the Trojan War, including the Reclamation of Helen by Menelaos and Ajax carrying Achilles. These events are widely separated in time and not typically combined by Attic red-figure vase-painters.
