( fl c. 520–c. 500 BC). Greek vase painter and potter. He signed eight Attic vases as painter, while two of his calyx kraters (New York, Met., 1972.11.10 and Paris, Louvre, G 33) are signed by the potter Euxitheos and two of his cups (Munich, Staatl. Antikensamml., 2620 and Paris, Louvre, Cp 11981) by the potter Kachrylion. All date from before 500 BC. Thereafter, the artist apparently concentrated exclusively on making pots: he signed at least 12 cups decorated by other painters, the latest (c. 470 BC; Berlin, Antikenmus., 2282) being by the Pistoxenos Painter, while an inscription on a pillar monument that Euphronios dedicated on the Athenian Acropolis (see A. Raubitschek: Dedications from the Athenian Akropolis, Cambridge, MA, 1949, pp. 255–8, no. 225) calls him ‘the Potter’.
