Document Details : Title: Painted Heroes Subtitle: Depictions of Male Warriors on Archaic Greek Vases Author(s): BROUWERS, Josho Journal: Pharos Volume: 17 Issue: 2 Date: 2009-2010 Pages: 107-124 DOI: 10.2143/PHA.17.2.2162465 Abstract : In this article, I examine changes in the course of the Archaic period with respect to the depiction on Greek vases of what are often assumed to be ‘heroes’, i.e. (naked) male warriors. I devote special attention to the treatment of nudity and differences that appear with regard to armour and clothing following the inception of the red-figure style in Athens in the second half of the 6th century BC. |
