In this volume, Danish archaeologists at the universities at Aarhus and Copenhagen and affiliated with the classical collections of three major Danish museums present papers from a series of seven workshops devoted to pottery, particularly that of ancient Greece. The central theme is whether ceramics were acquired specifically for the funerary context in which they're recovered or whether they were part of the household goods. Both specific pieces and whole categories are considered, including Cypriot sigillata, Cypriot transport amphorae, archaic Karian pottery, and the Trojan cycle of Tyrrhenian amphorae. The volume is illustrated in b & w and color. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This interdisciplinary study opens up a fascinating interaction between art and theater. It shows how the mythological vase-paintings of fourth-century B.C. Greeks, especially those settled in southern Italy, are more meaningful for those who had seen the myths enacted in the popular new medium of tragedy. Of some 300 relevant vases, 109 are reproduced and accompanied by a picture-by-picture discussion. This book supplies a rich and unprecedented resource from a neglected treasury of painting.
