Painted vases are the richest and most complex images that remain
from ancient Greece. Over the past decades, a great deal has been
written on ancient art that portrays myths and rituals. Less has
been written on scenes of daily life, and what has been written has
been tucked away in hard-to-find books and journals. A Guide to
Scenes of Daily Life on Athenian Vases synthesizes this material
and expands it: it is the first comprehensive volume to present
visual representations of everything from pets and children's games
to drunken revelry and funerary rituals. John H. Oakley's clear,
accessible writing provides sound information with just the right
amount of detail. Specialists of Greek art will welcome this book
for its text and illustrations. This guide is an essential and
much-needed reference for scholars and an ideal sourcebook for
classics and art history.
