Bakchios (potter I)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bakchios ( Greek  Βάκχιος ), son of Amphis [...], was a Greek potter who worked in Athens in the 4th century BC. From the Attic demos Kerameis.

Bakchios is known for his grave stele from Athens (around 330 BC). In the inscription his victories in artisan competitions in the city of Athens are expressly recognized. Since these otherwise unknown competitions can only refer to the public tenders for the orders for the production of the Panathenaic price amphoras , he can be identified with the potter Bakchios, known for his signature on two Panathenaic price amphoras, who was responsible for the Archon Hippodamos (375/4 BC) . Chr.) Worked. Attempts have been made to identify Bakchios with the red-figure Marsyas painter .

It is believed that the civil rights inscription from the 320s BC From Ephesus , the potters named Bakchios and Kittos are his sons, who emigrated to Ephesus. For chronological reasons, however, this is not entirely certain, but given the rarity of these names in Attica, they definitely belonged to a pottery family.
