Pottery in Greece has a long history and the form of Greek Vase Shapes has had a continuous evolution from the Minoan period down to the Hellenistic era. As Gisela Richter puts it the forms of these vases find their “happiest expression” in the 5th and 6th centuries BC, yet it has been possible to date vases thanks to the variation in a form’s shape over time, a fact particularly useful when dating unpainted or plain black-gloss ware.

It's all Greek to me. But I'll never forget it as long as olive. Modified from a public domain original in the NYPL.

I have just finished reading about Medusa. This version of her is inspired by a Terracotta pelike attributed to Polygnotos 450–440 B.C. which depicts a sleeping winged Medusa being beheaded by the demi-God Perseus (and aided by Athena).
