 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.05.40
Considering the provenience of many of the pieces, the vessel types, and the presence of either a ram or youth, Isler-Kerényi suggests that the theme of a good Medea, a "goddess of the cauldron," after 520 reflects the interests of the Etruscan market.
Following the productions of Sophocles' Rhizotomoi and Euripides' Peliades (455), the cauldron no longer stands at the center of the scene and either it is empty or Pelias is being escorted there by his daughters, alluding to the tragic version of the death of Pelias.
After 431, representations of the myth concentrate on the infanticide, the subsequent apotheosis of Medea, or Jason's taking of the golden fleece with Medea's help.
