Terracotta lekythos (oil flask) ca. 420 B.C. Attributed to the Eretria Painter Upper zone, uncertain scene: chariot surrounded by men and womenMiddle zone, Achilles mourning Patroklos, and Nereids bringing Achilles' second set of armorLower zone, Amazonomachy (battle of Greeks against Amazons)This lekythos is of exceptional novelty and beauty. The unusually large shape is subdivided into three zones, each with a mythological subject. The middle zone features Thetis and her sister Nereids bringing armor to replace the set that Achilles had given Patroklos. The lower zone depicts Theseus and Hippolyte in combat among Greeks and Amazons. In both cases, the subject concerns a woman in martial mode and a warrior. The uppermost scene has been interpreted as the abduction of Persephone but more likely shows a god (or goddess) departing on a mission of divine intervention. The placement of the white-ground zone between two in red-figure emphasizes the Eretria Painter's extraordinary draftsmans
