"DUELLING HOPLITE WARRIORS
Possibly the heroes Ajax and Hector. The pair wear the standard gear of the hoplite (heavily armed foot-soldier), but carry the outmoded 'Boiotian' shields with cut-out sides, which suggests they are mythical characters. The inscription above may be 'Aiantos' ('of Ajax'), badly copied and reading from right to left. Neck-amphora -- a finely painted and unusually large example. Attic black-figure. By the Antimenes Painter. About 525 BC. " ...

"BLACK-FIGURE PANEL AMPHORA Greek: last quarter of 6th century B.C. Ceramic ...
One of the basic shapes of Greek pottery was the amphora, a large, two-handled vase used primarily to hold wine or oil. The panel scenes on either side of this amphora depict armed warriors engaged in battle. The chief scene probably shows the Greek hero Achilles fighting over the dead body of Antilochus with the Trojan hero Prince Memnon. To either side stand the warriors' mothers, as mourning figures. The scene has a heraldic grandeur and a sharply pointed sense of tragic dignity."

"The Tyszkiewicz Painter Mixing bowl (calyx krater) Inscriptions: Lacheas is handsome! and names of all nine figures
Greece (Athens) Said to have been found at Vulci, Italy Late Archaic period, about 490-480 B.C. Ceramic; red-figure technique
Depictions of duels from the Trojan War appear on both sides of this bowl.
Here, Achilles -- encouraged by the goddess Athena -- stabs Memnon, king of Ethiopia and an ally of the Trojans.
Memnon falls into the arms of his mother, Eos, goddess of the dawn.
Subsequently, Eos carried her son's body to Ethiopia, where Zeus granted him immortality." [...]
[...] "On this side of the bowl, Diomedes has wounded Aeneas with a spear.
When Aphrodite rushed to save her son, Diomedes was so infuriated that we wounded both the goddess and her lover, Ares, god of war.
Recovered from his wound, Aeneas escaped the sack of Troy and became an ancestor of the Romans."
