Oinochoe ('Eurymedon-Kanne' or 'Persians'). The Oinochoe probably carries one of the most significant representations of Greek vassenkunst, which have a historical reference. On page A, a turn is shown on the right on the right. The head shown in the profile has a pointed and a beard section on the cheek. He is dressed with a backleading coats, whose ends are knotted in front of the chest. While the left arm is stretched, he holds his phallus with his angled right. From his mouth comes the inscription 'Eurymedon Eimi. Kybade Hekaste '(I'm Eurymedon. ...'), which gives an oblique downwardly extending to the figure on page b. There is a forward-covered man in a long jacket-trouser costume, head towards the viewer, which raised hands on both sides of the head in a horror crossed. At his left arm, a gorytos (pillar holes) dangle with bow. On the head he carries a so-called phrygic cap, which identifies him in conjunction with his robe as orientals. Both figures are located on a circumferential sequence line; At the top, the image is completed by a narrow meandering tape at the transition to the neck. The name 'Eurymedon' allows the scene to interpret: at the small asian river of the same name (near today's Antalya) succeeded in the Attic Delicious Seabound under the leadership of Athens and his Strategists Kimon 469 or 466 BC. In a double battle to land and water a circumferential victory. The victory is presented on this pot brutal and humiliating, but will have reached the Persian in the next second of the Greek and sexually abuse him. Why is such a victory presented in this way? Why is the Greek rather unconventional, almost half-barbaric shown? Presumably, the presentation is associated with a prehistoric play. Acquired by Campe Historical Art Foundation
