- Title
Swallow This: A Pelike within Late Archaic Song and Visual Culture.
- Authors
STEINER, DEBORAH
- Abstract
The article offers an analysis of the pelike in the context of scenes and words within a culturally determined meaning, and within its sympotic milieu represented by typical intra-elite verbal, social, and sexual competitions. It notes that the pelike or vase was introduced by Attic potters in the latter part of the sixth century to serve as a storage for wine, oil, and water. The article explains the swallow as the essence of variegation and multiple meanings in Greek fable and tradition.
