About this book
Greek Tragedy in the Light of Vase Paintings is by John H. Huddilston. The text says the deities, who as spectators are an important part of the paintings on so many Lower Italy vases, are arranged in the upper section. The text says Herakles and Athena seem to be but indifferently interested in what is happening below them.
The text says it has long since been noticed that many of the Apulian, Campanian, and Lucanian vase paintings have a marked theatrical composition. The text says the costumes, posings and gestures are often notoriously stage-like. The text describes two satyrs, representing the chorus, who dance around lustily, having smelt the contents of the wineskin.
