In modern studies pinax refers to a flat, rectangular, painted slab
of clay placed in a sanctuary or tomb. In this study the author
presents the various occurrences and possible meanings of the word
pinax in the sources and examines the representation of pinakes on
vases. A synthesis of pinakes is much needed since it can provide
valuable information about ancient Greek religious and social
practices. To this end, this book by concentrating on Attic pinakes
fills a substantial gap in scholarship since Attic pinakes have not
been methodically studied before, although they form one of the
largest corpora of pinakes, and are hence a rich and reliable
source of information.
