| | | Dionysus Travel to Naxos - Black figured Kylix | Exact Museum Replica.
In this style, the
figures were painted
black on the reddish
orange surface of the
vases. Details within
the silhouetted
figures were incised
before firing.
Occasionally white or
purple was added to
the figure with the
female flesh usually
painted white. Human
figures drawn with
greater skill
appeared as elements
of the principal
design.
The stories were
drawn by myths, the
Trojan war, the
adventures of
Odysseus, the
Argonauts and other
great heroes of the
Greek Mythology. Very
popular were also the
capering satyrs and
maenads in the
retinue of god
Dionysus.
