Topic: Hydria


  
  Perseus Encyclopedia
There are two distinct types of hydria: one where the neck is set off from the body, called a neck hydria; and the other where the neck and body form a continuous curve.
In a representation on the Francois vase (Troilos being pursued by Achilles) a jar of this shape, with its neck set off from the body, is inscribed "hydria".
Term: The name hydria is satisfactorily attested for this type of vessel, as is the name kalpis.

  An Athenian Black-Figured Hydria, Department of Classics, University of Otago
This hydria is restored from fragments with some parts missing, including a fragment of the upper wall at the right of the figured scene.
Stylistically the Otago hydria belongs to the peak of Athenian fl figure vase painting, around 530 B.C. On the shoulder of the vase, below a band of tongue pattern, two Greek warriors are fighting, while two Scythian archers run away to the outer edges of the scene.
The Athenian tyrant Peisistratos is recorded to have regained power in Athens in the middle of the 6th century B.C. by the ruse of disguising an unusually tall woman as the goddess Athena, and having her accompany him in a chariot into Athens, thus giving the impression that the goddess herself supported his return.

hydria, ancient Greek water jar with three handles—two lateral for lifting, a third vertical for pouring.

 The Alkmene hydrias and Vase Painting in late-Sixth-century Athens Hesperia - Find Articles
Reassessment of the hydria leads to a modified attribution and revised ideas about fl-figure painters working in Athens during the late sixth century B.C. Style, novel compositions, and the syntactical practice of repeating figures across fields to create narrative connections and paradigmatic relationships reveal artistic innovation.
One group of fl-figure hydria painters is exposed as players responding to external events in an energetic artistic milieu, rather than reflectors of--or simply outside of--trends set by red-figure counterparts.
In addition, this second debut for the Alkmene Painter's hydria answers the invitation extended by the recently constituted Museums and Exhibitions Committee of the Archaeological Institute of America: to exploit fully the potential for rediscoveries of material legally obtained but languishing forgotten in the back corners of museum collections.
