Broneer, O ... American School of Classical Studies at Athens ... 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 ... 1956 ... Since my first article on the North Slope krater was published, some important literature has appeared dealing with the art of Exekias and with the relation of the krater to the rest of his works.6 All have accepted the attribution to Exekias and the chronological order I proposed, placing the krater near the end of Exekias'career. ... On the Pharsalos krater all the combatants present the outside, convex side of their shields toward their opponents ( Pl. 51, b, c ). There the shield of the Greek protagonist overlaps that of Hektor, as seen in the picture, and the other four warriors all hold their shields in proper defensive position so as to be seen almost in profile. ... For the less common position of the protagonist cf. the bearded hoplite who has just thrust his spear into the mounted Amazon on a cup in Bologna, Emanuel Löwy, Polygnot, fig. 8b; Pfuhl, Malerei und Zeichnung der Griechen, III, 504.
