Sosias (potter)

Signed bowl of Sosias with Achilles joining his friend Patroclus in the Berlin Collection of Antiquities.

Sosias (active around 500 BC ) was an Attic potter. Two signed works by him have been preserved, a bowl (F 2278) and a small stand (F 2315), both of which are in the Berlin Collection of Antiquities . The painter decorating these two works is not known by name and is therefore referred to as the Sosias painter .
