Pasiades

Alabastron of the group of Paidikos-Alabastra, signed by Pasiades, Paris, Louvre CA 1920

Pasiades ( Greek  Πασιάδης ) was a Greek potter and vase painter , active in the last quarter of the 6th century BC. In Athens .

Three signed white-ground alabastras by him are known, as well as fragments of a white-ground lekythos. He signed the Alabastra as a potter, the Lekythos as a painter.

1. Fragments of a Lekythos, Athens, Agora NS AP 422
2. Lekythos, London, British Museum B 668, from Marion
3. Athens, National Museum 15002, from Delphi
4. Paris, Louvre CA 1920

Nos. 2 and 3 were painted by a painter whom John D. Beazley named Pasiades-painter afterwards , this is stylistically not identical to the painter who signed No. 1 as Pasiades and was made by Beazley in the vicinity of the Euergides-painter classified. Since the Parisian alabastron cannot be separated from the group of the Paidikos-Alabastra in terms of shape and type , Beazley considered whether Paidikos (translated “childish, boyish”) might just be a nickname of the Pasiades, so it was just a potter.
