Descriptive Note
|
Text: Side A: Athena Promachos; Side
B: Nike Crowning the Victor, with the Judge on the Right
and the Defeated Opponent on the Left. The figure of
Athena is portrayed in an Archaistic style. The particular
use of Nike figures atop the akanthos columns flanking
Athena allow scholars to date this vase to precisely
363/362 BCE. The Panathenaia, a state religious festival,
honored Athena; the festival included athletic, musical,
and other competitions. Amphorae filled with oil pressed
from olives from the sacred trees of Athena were given
as prizes in the Panathenaic Games.
