The Eurymedon jug (also Persian jug ) is one around 460 BC. Painted Greek ceramic vessel made in Athens. It is an oinochoe (wine jug).

A Persian and a Greek are depicted in red-figure technique , the latter is about to anally rape the Persian . Next to the Greek is the inscription “I am Eurymedon” (“Εὐρυμέδον εἰμ [ί]”), which is seen as a reference to the battle of Eurymedon , in which the troops of the Attic League defeated the Persians .

The vase was attributed by Konrad Schauenburg to the circle of the Triptolemos painter . The vessel has been in the Museum of Art and Industry in Hamburg since 1981 (Inv.-No. 1981.173).
