• ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE OINOCHOE W/
  ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE OINOCHOE W/ ACHILLES, EX-CHRISTIE'SAncient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 530 BCE. Finely decorated via the black-figure technique with incised and added fugitive red painted details, a beautiful trefoil oinochoe featuring the scene of a warrior - perhaps Achilles - readying himself for battle; the nude figure bending over to put on his greaves as a high-crested Corinthian helmet rests at his feet and a draped woman, possibly Achille's mother Thetis, and a young man stand to either side. Greaves and ankle guards were hammered from sheet bronze and retained considerable tensile strength, allowing them to be snapped onto the raised leg, as seen here. The woman watches while holding the warrior's spear and shield, serving as an attendant. Behind him, the nude youth holds another spear, likely waiting to arm himself as well. A band of tongues decorates the area above, just below the trefoil spout of the vessel. Though the warrior's armor indicates he may be a hoplite, this may also be a representation of the arming of Achilles by his mother Thetis. Size: 4.2" Diameter x 7.4" H (10.7 cm x 18.8 cm) According to Homer's Iliad, during the last year of the Trojan war, Patroclus, Achilles’s beloved friend, dons Achilles' armor in order to scare the Trojans back from the beaches of Greece. He succeeds in doing so but is killed by Hector and stripped of the armor in the process, leaving Achilles grief-stricken and armorless. Thetis comes to comfort her son and, after seeing his deep despair, persuades Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and craftsmen, to forge him new armor. The god accepts and makes a shield, a breastplate, a helmet, and greaves, which Thetis delivers to Achilles, as seen in this example. Enraged, Achilles then returns to battle with the sole aim of avenging Patroclus’ death by killing Hector, despite a warning that doing so would cost him his life. After defeating Hector, Achilles drags his corpse by the heels behind his chariot. Athens mandated that all 18- to 20-year-olds participate in military service; however, during times of war, all male citizens through the age of 60 could be asked to serve. Hoplites carried a large, round, bronze-faced shield known as a hoplon in one hand, as seen in this example, and, in the other, an eight-foot-long wooden spear with a leaf-shaped iron head and a bronze butt spike. The butt spike was known as a sauroter, a "lizard killer," and, if the spear was broken, could be used as a weapon on the remaining end. It could also be used to stand the spear in soft ground or as a digging tool. Scenes of warriors preparing for battle were quite popular in Ancient Greece and can be found on vessels in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (06.1021.164a, b), the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge University (GR.6.1917), the Louvre (E813), Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (PC60), and the Athens Agora Museum (P24360).

• GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE AMPHORA,
  GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE AMPHORA, LIGHT-MAKE CLASS**First Time At Auction** Greece, Attic, attributed to the Light-Make Class, ca. 540 to 480 BCE. A splendid pottery neck amphora boasting skillfully painted black-figure decoration of 3 battling warriors on one side and the famed hero Achilles on the other. On side A, a fully-armed Achilles strides right surrounded by robed figures, perhaps attendants or fellow warriors, all grasping spears that add dynamic visual lines to the scene. Clad in a high-crested helmet and large shield, our hero turns his head left as though addressing one of the figures. Alternatively, side B displays 3 warriors in battle, all dressed in helmets and armor as they each hold a shield in 1 hand and a lengthy spear in the other. The central figure has seemingly fallen to his knee as the 2 others stand to either side of him, striding toward their fallen foe as they pierce him with their spears. Size: 4" Diameter x 6" H (10.2 cm x 15.2 cm) The remainder of the vessel is elaborately adorned with scrolling palmettes that separate the sides and decorate the neck, a tongued pattern above each scene, and rays with a dotted design below. All of this lavish ornamentation is nicely complemented by the elegant silhouette of the vessel, which presents a classic form of a discoid foot, broad, a rounded shoulders, a tall neck, and a pair of arched, trifurcated handles that connect the shoulders to the flared rim. Achilles was the son of the nereid or sea nymph Thetis and the mortal Peleus, king of the Myrmidons. Renowned as the mightiest warrior of the army of Agamemnon in the Trojan War, during his childhood, Thetis dipped Achilles in the waters of the River Styx which rendered him invincible, except for the section of his heel by which Thetis held him; hence the term "Achilles' heel." This amphora is attributed to a group of Athenian painters whom Beazley named The Light-Make Group, due to their light color palette. The Light-Make Group is known for Athenian black-figure vases of similar shape, often with a white ground.
