Archaic Greece - a photo on Flickriver

Archaic Greece

Protoattic amphora (inv no. 519).
Though this large funerary vessel is greatly damaged, the visible narratives painted on its body show us an important development in style. Its surface is decorated by three separate mythological narrative registers:
1) the giant Polyphemus, holding a kantharos, is blinded by Odysseus and a companion (neck).
2) lion confronts a boar (shoulder).
3) decapitated Medusa 'floats' behind her two sisters, Sthenno and Euryale, who flee Perseus (main body).
The amphora dates to the middle 7th century BC.

Kouros (inv. n. 5112).
The kouros' face has been badly chipped and his legs from the knees down have not survived The hair in tied with a ribbon and falls down hit back, covering the nape of his neck.
This statue, made of coarse-grained island marble, is softly modeled wath slender proportions. These features have led scholars to attribute it to a Cycladic workmanship, from Naxos orParos.
The statue dates to the mid-6th century BC.
