The calyx-krater of Exekias, first published in 1937,1 was discovered at the bottom of a well in the American School excavations on the North slope of the Acropolis in Athens. The circumstances of discovery indicate that someone had carried down the shattered krater from the Acropolis for the express purpose of throwing it into the well, which was then abandoned as a source of water, like several other wells on the North Slope. Had the fragments been thrown over the Acropolis wall together with other debris, it is unlikely that so many could have found their way together into the same well.2 Some of the fragments, however, were lost on the way down; about a third of the vase is still missing. ... On the North Slope krater, where the grapes are also separated by incised lines, the rendering is quite different. |
