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).
