Terracotta kylix: band-cup (drinking cup) ca. 550 B.C. Attributed to the Oakeshott Painter Obverse, return of HephaistosReverse, Dionysos, the god of wine, and Ariadne among satyrs and maenadsThe subject here is the same as on the two kraters by Lydos. The band is treated as a frieze with particular emphasis on the central motif. Hephaistos, who rides his mule as though it were a horse, is escorted by Dionysos. The wine god reappears on the reverse with Ariadne, whom he had rescued when she was abandoned on the island of Naxos. The lively figures and considerable added red and white are most appropriate for a drinking cup that could well have been used with kraters (bowls for mixing wine and water) like those by Lydos.. Terracotta kylix: band-cup (drinking cup). Greek, Attic. ca. 550 B.C.. Terracotta; black-figure. Archaic. Vases
