Summary

Winged Artemis holding two swansAs one of her aspects, the goddess Artemis was mistress of animals, potnia theron. In Archaic representations from all parts of Greece, she appears with her hands firmly gripping a pair of lions, deer, or other animals or birds.

Attributed to the Potnia Painter

Early Corinthian

The alabastron is a pear-shaped or elongated cylindrical vessel with a rounded bottom. Unlike the rhyton, the alabastron can stand upright. Alabastrons were used to store aromatic substances and liquids, mostly by women. Men used aribastrons in similar cases.
