Red-Figure Skyphos Fragment (part of 93.AE.54)

Exterior: draped shoulder of a figure to the left and part of an inscription (.]TE[..) over the shoulder. Interior: black. This fragment belongs to a partially reconstructed skyphos (93.AE.54) that depicts on side A: Peleus and Thetis, with their child Achilles, meeting Cheiron, in the company of Apollo, and on side B: a priest holding a temple key and a staff, a woman shaking hands with a seated figure, and two standing figures—perhaps the priest Chryses meeting Agamemnon to recover his daughter Chryseis (see Williams, 1997, who also notes other joining fragments in Leipzig). This fragment belongs to side B and gives part of a standing figure at the far right of the scene, likely Athena based on the surviving inscription.
