In this book the author explores the work of the fifth-century BC
Athenian vase-painter, Sotades, one of the most familiar names in
vase painting. Previous scholarship has dealt mainly with questions
of attribution, style, and iconographic interpretation, but Dr
Hoffman concentrates on inherent meaning: what does the imagery of
these decorated vases really signify? He argues that, contrary to
widely held conceptions, there is an underlying unity of meaning in
Greek vases and their imagery, a unity rooted in the religious
beliefs and ritual practices of the society from which they spring.
Each chapter discusses a specific aspect of the artist's iconology,
placing it in the context of fifth-century BC Greek philosophical
and religious thought.
