SZILÁGYI, JÁNOS GYÖRGY: "Les Adieux". A Column-krater of the Syracuse Painter
7. Top side of the column-krater fig. 5 used to pad the inside of the greaves above the foot; 4 he leans on the spear he holds in his raised right hand. The female figure facing him is wearing a long chiton and a himation thrown over her left shoulder; her hair, falling over back and shoulders, is tied with a fillet wound twice round the head; she moves with her right foot toward the warrior, raising both her arms toward him; in her right she holds out a bossed bronze bowl (phiale). The scene is framed by two elderly male figures, both bearded and wearing a long chiton, above it a himation; their hair is long, like the hoplite 's; each has a wreath on his head, and holds a sceptre with long plain shaft and lotus-bud finial in his nearer hand against his shoulder; they face the figures in the centre of the field, the one on the right moving toward them and lilting his right hand in a gesture of farewell, 5 the other's waist and lower body turned outward, his left hand held under the cloak, his feet apparently moving away out of the picture; of his right foot only the ankle is visible. On side B three bearded male figures dressed only in mantles. The one in the middle is moving to the right, the other two striding away looking back. Each holds a skyphos in his left hand: two lift their cups out in front of them, the left-hand figure holding his at chest height (the black colour of the cup hardly represents the material of which it is made, but simply sets off its contours more sharply against the red of the surrounding 4 Beazley, J.D. in Caskey-Beazley, Attic Vase Paintings in ...Boston III, Oxford 1963, 6. Without greaves on the ankle: e.g. Richter-Hall, op.cit., 96 and pi. 71 ; on greaves: e.g. ibid., pl. 84.; Caskey-Beazley H, pl. 35; Arias-Shefton-Hirmer, A Histoiy of Greek Vase Painting, London 1962, pi. 130; etc. 5 See e.g. the old man on the extreme left of side A of the Chicago Painter's volute-krater from Spina (Beazley ARV 2 , 628,1) or the right-hand female figure on the Munich stamnos of the Kleophon Painter (ARV 2 , 1143,2).
