( fl c. 445–c. 430 BC). Greek vase painter. He is named after a scene in the tondo of a fine Attic Red-figure cup (Bologna, Mus. Civ. Archeol., PU 273), in which the heroic Kodros, last king of Athens, sets out for battle. On the outside of the cup are two further scenes of heroes departing: Theseus and Phorbas, and Ajax with Menestheus. In both cases the leave-takings are watched by figures closely associated with Athens; Aigeus, Athena, Melite and Lykos. This cup was painted in the 430s BC, in the years preceding the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC) when many Athenians were themselves setting out for battles.
