Framed Print of Panathenaic Prize Amphora with Lid, 363-362 BC. Creators: Painter of the Wedding Procession, Nikodemos
Panathenaic Prize Amphora with Lid, 363-362 BC. Prize Vessel from the Athenian Games.
Additional Info: The Panathenaia, a state religious festival, honored Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Held in its expanded form every four years, the festival included athletic, musical, and other competitions. Amphorae filled with oil pressed from olives from the sacred trees of Athena were given as prizes in the Panathenaic Games. These amphorae had a special form with narrow neck and foot and a standard fashion of decoration. One side showed Athena, the goddess of war, armed and striding forth between columns, and included the inscription from the games at Athens. The other side showed the event for which the vase was a prize. The back of the vase depicts Nike, the goddess of victory, crowning the winner of a boxing match between young men, while an older, bearded judge looks on. The leather thongs held by the youths identify them as boxers; they were wrapped around the hands and served as the ancient equivalent of boxing gloves. In 370 BC the victor in youth boxing won forty amphorae of oil; the second place winner took home eight. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
