Info about artworkdescription: This red-figure kylix depicts a maenad and a satyr in the tondo. On the left a maenad sits on a rock to the left, looking around. Her left arm is by her side, while the right is bent up in front. She wears a necklace, peplos, diadem, and earring. On the right a wreathed satyr leans to the left; his left hand grasps her upper left arm, his right is wrapped around her back. On the sides are depicted a woman and two athletes. In the center a woman stands frontally, looking left, holding out a necklace with both hands. She wears a peplos, and her hair is held by ribbons. On either side an athlete stands in profile facing inward. On the front each holds a strigil in his right hand, and on the back the left one holds a strigil, while the one on the right holds out his right arm at waist level, palm up. All four stand with one leg stiff, the other bent and placed back. The three whose heads are fully preserved wear fillets.

description:
Greek, Attic; kylix, band-cup; Vases; Obverse, return of Hephaistos; Reverse, Dionysos, the god of wine, and Ariadne among satyrs and maenads
The subject here is the same as on the two kraters by Lydos. The band is treated as a frieze with particular emphasis on the central motif. Hephaistos, who rides his mule as though it were a horse, is escorted by Dionysos. The wine god reappears on the reverse with Ariadne, whom he had rescued when she was abandoned on the island of Naxos. The lively figures and considerable added red and white are most appropriate for a drinking cup that could well have been used with kraters (bowls for mixing wine and water) like those by Lydos.license:

On the bowl three men recline at a drinking party (or symposium): a youth wearing a kidaris (a flapped Scythian hat) plays double pipes as a lyre hangs on the wall behind him; a bearded man holds a kylix in his extended right hand; and another bearded man holds a large skyphos to his chest. Before the heads of each symposiast is an identical nonsense inscription. Flanking the handle in the zone to the left, a satyr plays double pipes; in the zone to the right a maenad dances.license:
