About This Book

The author surveys how painted scenes on ancient vases relate to Greek epic and tragic poetry, arguing that some images derive from common legendary traditions while others are direct responses to extant plays. He assembles and illustrates vases plausibly inspired by surviving tragedies, provides synopses where helpful, and discusses the drama's influence on various artistic media. Attention is given to notable vases, inscriptions, and interpretive problems, with extensive footnotes directing readers to further scholarship. The approach favors cautious identification over conjecture and aims to make archaeological evidence accessible to students of classical literature as well as specialists.
