Neck Amphora, 515-510 BC. The amphora was one of the most popular vase shapes towards the end of the 6th century BC. The expansive belly of this vase is well-suited to the more active and voluminous figures introduced in the 6th century. Side A: Herakles wrestles with the Nemean lion while Athena looks on. To the left is his nephew, Iolaos, holding his uncle's wooden club. Side B: Dionysus celebrates a drunken thiasos (reveling scene) with satyrs and maenads.
