Getty Museum Paestan refers to anything originating from or relating to the ancient city of Paestum (originally Poseidonia), an ancient Greek colony later conquered by the Romans, located in the Campania region of southern Italy. The Binningen Painter was an ancient South Italian (Paestan/Apulian) vase painter who was active during the 4th century B.C. (specifically around the third quarter of that century).They are best known for creating red-figure fish-plates, a highly specific and popular style of Greek pottery characterized by plates with a central depression—used for holding fish sauce—surrounded by meticulously painted marine life such as sea bream, torpedo fish, octopuses, and scallops.

The Colchian Dragon 🐉🔮🏆

The fearsome guard of the golden fleece disgorging Jason, based on a scene from a redfigure kylix

🐉January's subject theme was "dragon" to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year 🧡

🏺AncientBlueSky🏺
art by flaroh illustration. The colchis dragon is wrapped around a tree disgorging the hero jason. On the left the golden fleece hangs from a branch. On the right Minerva's owl swoops under the leaves and below a golden cauldron bubbles. Smoke trails from the cauldron, up the right, and fades into the top of the scene. Behind this scene in the background are distant fields and trees and the sky is at dusk with a crescent moon shining. The palette is reds, golds, pinks, greens, and hints of purple and blue. The dragon is red, the owl gold, the tree green, and the background purple.

Child #3 and I debating if this guitarist has a guitarist for an arse or a guitarist for a head or some 12 string human centipede scenario. Lovely arrangement all the same.

8. The Eris You've Seen Before, Athenian redfigure kylix, c. 550 BC
This is the image used on the Wikipedia pages for Eris and Discordianism, and the one that many people, apparently even Eris's own worshippers, apparently think is the *only* picture of Eris from before 1959 or so. To be fair, it's a pretty killer - and hot - image. A raven-winged, be-headdressed, big-eyed, Rubenesque Eris in an outre gridded dress is doing a "walk like an Egyptian" pose with her arms while running away from someone or something in a pair of utterly awesome shoes. Between her feet the Greeks have written EPIS, because the proper letter R wasn't invented for another 200 years.

10. Playstation 2 Lo-Poly Eris, redfigure hydrea, c. 440 BC
A big vase, painted in the Ancient Greeks' weird Kate-Beaton-cartoon-esque redfigure style with a scene of the Judgement of Paris. Paris, enjoying the attention, sits on a nonexistent chair as a tiny flying woman whispers in his ear. Around him stand various deities and other VIPs, one of whom is naked and appears about to apply a branding iron to an Airedale terrier. Above them, peering through a window in spacetime... ...Eris is drawn from the shoulder up, with a take-no-crap expression, squiggly chin-length hair, black pearls, a sacking dress, and truly oddly shaped boobs. It's stylistic, but something about her poise gives her a quietly dangerous hotness. Besides, being drawn by an actual Grecian, this might be one of the more accurate depictions, in which case I'd better at least put it in the top ten.
