Title A name given to the resource Corinthian Aryballos Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Amelia Verkerk, Tina Salowey (photo) Description An account of the resource There are two inscriptions on this Corinthian black-figure aryballos. On this aryballos, Herakles battles the Hydra while Athena stands with her hands raised up as if supporting the hero. Herakles grasps one head of the Hydra as he stabs at the monster with his sword. Painted inscriptions identify each of these figures. The handle of the aryballos is decorated with a geometric pattern. The top of the aryballos is decorated as a flower with pedals surrounding the opening of the vase. Under the aryballos’ handle, there are horses pulling a chariot. An aryballos was a container to store perfume or oil. Corinthian pottery at this time was typically designed with rows of animals without any inscriptions, making this particular aryballos unique.
