An unparalleled assemblage of Archaic black-figure painted pinakes
(plaques) was uncovered near Penteskouphia, a village west of
ancient Corinth, over a century ago. The pinakes - represented by
over 1,200 fragments - and their depictions of gods, warriors,
animals, and the potters themselves, provide a uniquely rich source
of information about Greek art, technology, and society. In this
volume, the findspot of the pinakes is identified in a contribution
by Ioulia Tzonou and James Herbst, and the assemblage as a whole is
fully contextualized within the Archaic world. Then, by focusing
specifically on the images of potters at work, the author
illuminates the relationship between Corinthian and Athenian art,
the technology used in ancient pottery production, and religious
anxiety in the 6th century B.C. The first comprehensive register of
all known Penteskouphia pinakes complements the well-illustrated
discussion.
