Descripción:
Traducción automática: Cráter-cáliz de terracota (cuenco para mezclar vino y agua). Cultura: Griego, ático. Dimensiones: Total: 14 1/4 x 14 pulgadas. (36,2 x 35,5 cm). Fecha: ca. 440 a.C. Arriba, anverso, Odiseo persiguiendo a Circe; reverso, mujeres y rey Abajo, anverso, hombre entre mujeres; reverso, jóvenes y mujeres La escena principal y más interesante de esta crátera de dos hileras muestra a Odiseo persiguiendo a la hechicera Circe. En el aire entre ellos están la varita mágica de Circe y el skyphos (vaso profundo para beber) que contiene la poción con la que transforma a los hombres en animales. Detrás de Odiseo, dos de sus hombres con rasgos de jabalí y de caballo o mula gesticulan hacia él. La persecución también puede ser mitológica.
