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 ... Hektor holds his in full face view toward the spectators and its rear turned toward his opponent's shield. ... It is inconceivable that a warrior would ever hold his shield in such a way that its inside would face the inside of his enemy's shield, as is the case in the picture. ... Thus his whole body is shown in black against the red background of the vase. |
