| Sumario: | The collection of the National Museum in Poznań includes a white-ground lekythos with a black-figure depiction of two Greek warriors surrounded by archers in Scythian attire. The warrior theme was especially popular on Greek vessels in the archaic period. The interpretation of representations according to the historical trend sees in the images of warriors heroes from heroic epics. While the vessels are considered to be highly specialised artisan products that were distributed to Greek colonies, often far away from Athens, the author draws attention to other possibilities for interpreting the representations in question. |
