Athéniens et Étrusques à l’époque archaïque, le temps du récit – Nikosthénès, Théozotos et les autres

Abstract

This contribution addresses an important aspect of the relationship between the Greeks – specifically the Athenians –
and the Etruscans during the Archaic period, based on archaeological evidence provided by Attic vases made for mass
exportation. This study highlights a category of export ware from Attica, made exclusively for the Etruscan ‘market’
specifically the « mastoid »/chytridion goblet and the exceptional adaptation of a rare form of kyathos from Vulci
by Théozotos, probably active in the workshop of Nikosthenes, under that artist’s influence. This case study seeks to
further the understanding of the relationship between Athenian and Etruscan workshops, a topic illuminated by the
invaluable scholarship of J. Gy. Szilágyi.
