Timonidas
Timonidas was a Greek vase painter, active in Corinth in the 2nd quarter of the 6th century BC. Chr.
Timonidas is only known from his signature on a Middle Corinthian clay bottle from Kleonai , today in Athens, and a fragmented Pinax from Penteskouphia, which he signed with his father's name Bias , today in Berlin. The important polychrome vase painter of the Corinthian style worked around 580 BC. Chr. Achilles can be seen on the bottle ambushing Troilos . You can also see Priam and Polyxena and other Trojans. The clay tablet is painted on one side with a hunter and his dog, on the other side Poseidon was probably depicted. According to an inscription , the tablet was consecrated to God .
