Stunning Greek kylix, Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs

Item Details

Description

A stunning Greek stemmed black-figure kylix depicting the Battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs, late 6th Century BC. One side beautifully depicts a pair of Centaurs, while the opposite side features a Lapith wielding a club behind a Centaur, in equal beauty. Lovely palmette devices border the figures on both sides. An absolutely gorgeous vessel with light deposits and much eye appeal. H: 5 in (12.7cm), D: 5 2/3 in (14.5cm). Ex York, UK private collection acquired at Ancient World Gallery, UK.

Both the Lapiths and the Centaurs are legendary peoples of Greek mythology. The Lapiths are said to have originated from Lapithes, the son of Apollo and the nymph Stilbe, while the Centaurs came from Lapithes twin brother Centaurus. The scenes on this kylix represent the legendary Battle between the Lapiths and Centaurs in which the Centaurs were invited to the wedding of the Lapith King Pirithous and his bride. The Centaurs drank quite a bit too much and one of them attempted to steal the bride. This began the great battle, of which the Lapiths emerged victorious.
