Fragment of a black-figure amphora
Group E (Greifenhagen)
Zeus is seated on a folding stool. He is represented with
head and legs in profile to the right. Seated, he is almost as
tall as the surrounding standing figures. The right forearm is
extended almost horizontally forward, the hand with extended
fingers seen on the back. The god presumably has a pointed
beard. He wears his long hair loose, with a headband. His
dress consists of a chiton, and probably a himation.
Athena is represented standing on the lap of Zeus, head and
legs in profile to the right, the body facing. Her dress
probably consists of a peplos. The goddess wears a helmet and
carries a shield on the left arm, the right arm raised with
clenched fist.
There have been two deities at each side of the picture.
At the right stand a goddess, the right arm extended obliquely
upward, with palm turned outward and extended fingers, the
left forearm etended horizontally forward, the hand
with extended fingers seen on the back, and Apollo, identified
by the zither. At the left side a goddess has been, the right
arm extended, the hand with extended fingers seen on the back,
and put on the head of Zeus, and Ares, identified by the
helmet.
