( fl c. 410–c. 400 BC). Greek vase painter. He decorated the most important of a group of Panathenaic amphorae made in Athens, named the Kuban Group from the Kuban region in southern Russia, where the name-vase was found. All the vases are Black-figure amphorae that, filled with olive oil, were awarded as prizes in the contests associated with the quadrennial Athenian festival, the Great Panathenaia. The nucleus of the Kuban Group consists of three amphorae (St Petersburg, Hermitage, 17553; London, BM, B605 and B606). On stylistic grounds Beazley associated with these a slightly earlier amphora (London, BM, 1903. 2-17.1) and two fragments (Thessaloniki, Archaeol. Mus., 34.352; Oxford, Ashmolean, 1966.935). He also related other fragments now in Oxford and Thessaloniki to the Kuban Group (Beazley, 1956, pp. 411–12). Further attributions have been made of fragments from the Theban Kabeirion and the Athenian Agora (Braun and Haevernick; Moore and Philippides) and from the excavations in the Athenian Kerameikos (J. Frel; unpublished).
