Hunting painter, bowl (Heracles slays Hippokoon and his sons), clay, quickly turned, painted (pottery), alternately fired, clay, Total: Height: 12.4 cm; Width: 24.5 cm; Diameter: 18.6 cm; Base diameter: 8.4 cm, pottery, Greek heroes, middle archaic, The interior of the laconic bowl assembled from a few shards shows a battle scene. In the left half of the picture there is a large male figure striding to the right. The man is dressed in a short, belted chiton, a cloak, greaves and sandals; a sword hangs at his side. Long curly strands fall down to the chest and back. From the formerly probably colored face only one eye and the beard are preserved. In the raised right hand the forward bent figure holds a spear. With her left hand she reaches for the one in front of him of the two fleeing enemies, who are dressed in coats and look around. At the feet of the man lie two other figures, also clothed in coats. An eagle flies behind them. Below the ground line two birds stand antithetically, turning their heads back. The interpretation of this scene is difficult, so Hans Jucker has suggested that the main character should be the Cretan giant Talos, who kills intruders. Erika Simon wanted to recognize Aigisthos, who kills his classmates. Michael Maaß and Conrad M. Stibbe referred to the myth about the Spartan king Tyndareos: Hippocoon had driven Tynadreos out of Sparta. However, he was able to return after Heracles had slain Hippocoon and his sons. In Laconia an independent high-quality ceramic developed around 580 BC, which was initially oriented towards Athens. Characteristic features are the orange, finely clay and a yellowish-cream colored coating. The guiding form is the bowl. Laconic vases are widespread, pieces are known from Marseille, Taranto, Naukratis, Sardes, Rhodes, Samos and also Etruria as well as from mainland Greece.
