Sosimos (potter)

Sosimos was a Greek potter who worked in Athens in the last quarter of the 6th century BC. Chr.

He is only known from his signature on fragments of a phial from Eleusis .

Due to the similar style, the fragment of a phiale Athens, National Museum Akr. 1156 and a shell fragment Athens, National Museum Akr. 1078 assigned to the same painter as the fragments in Eleusis.
