Antenor (ceramist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antenor ( Greek  Άντῄνωρ ) was an ancient Greek whose name inscription on a ceramic fragment, which is difficult to interpret, is controversial in science .

A name inscription in ancient Greek was found on a shard of a vessel that was found on the Acropolis in Athens . The addition to the incompletely preserved inscription on Antenor is undisputed . It was found on the upper, conical part of a boiler base . This was decorated in the Protoattic style by the painter of the Widder-Kanne and is considered to be one of his later works. Due to the painting, the fragment can be traced back to the first half of the 7th century BC. To be dated. The inscription is the oldest inscription on a Greek vase that does not directly relate to the representation. Because of this and because the vase has not been completely preserved and possible other references remain unclear, it is uncertain what the name refers to. It is possible that Antenor is the potter or the vase painter of the piece. In the latter case, the painter of the Aries jug would be associated with the correct name again after more than 2500 years. However, it is also possible that she names the owner or the donor of a Christmas present.
