EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Apulian krater of the Phylake, adorned with striking red figures. Created by the Greek School in the 4th century BC, this masterpiece measures 26.6 cm in diameter and is currently housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Jatta in Ruvo di Puglia, Bari, Italy. The scene depicted on this ancient artifact transports us to a mythical world filled with intrigue and drama. On the right side of the krater, a male character can be seen gesturing to halt an old man who stands before him. Armed with a formidable two-edged axe, his intent is to strike open an egg that miraculously begins to crack open. From within emerges Helen, the sole figure not dressed in Phylake costume.

The image invites viewers to delve into mythology, archaeology, and ancient Greece as they contemplate the symbolism behind each element portrayed on this remarkable ceramic vessel.
