Psiax [Menon Painter]

( fl c. 525–c. 510 BC). Greek vase painter. He played an important role in the transition from Attic Black-figure to Red-figure. Formerly called the Menon Painter, after the potter’s signature on a Red-figure amphora (Philadelphia, U. PA, Mus., 5349), he signed two Red-figure alabastra as painter, both of which bear the signature of the potter Hilinos (Karlsruhe, Bad. Landesmus., 242 (B 120) and Odessa, A. Mus.).

Part of the Vase painters family
