Abstract

This article focuses on a distinct type of clay vessel which formed part of both the Late Minoan and the Mycenaean repertoire: the amphoroid krater.

In contrast to the Mycenaean version of the shape, with its often elaborate decoration of chariots and other pictorial designs, the Minoan amphoroid krater has up to now not received much attention. The present paper intends to redress this imbalance by exploring the origin and development of the Minoan amphoroid krater, its function(s) and its relationship with its Mycenaean counterpart.

Ο μινωικός αμφοροειδής κρατήρας: από την παραγωγή στην κατανάλωση

Το άρθρο αυτό επικεντρώνεται σε έναν συγκεκριμένο τύπο πήλινου αγγείου που αποτελούσε μέρος τόσο του Ύστερου Μινωικού, όσο και του Μυκηναϊκού σχηματολογίου: τον αμφοροειδή κρατήρα.

Ο μινωικός αμφοροειδής κρατήρας δεν έχει λάβει πολλή προσοχή μέχρι σήμερα, σε αντίθεση με τη μυκηναϊκή εκδοχή του σχήματος, που συχνά φέρει περίτεχνη διακόσμηση με άρματα και άλλα εικονογραφικά σχέδια. Το παρόν άρθρο σκοπεύει να αποκαταστήσει αυτή την ανισότητα μέσα από τη διερεύνηση της προέλευσης και ανάπτυξης του μινωικού αμφοροειδούς κρατήρα, της λειτουργίας/-ες του, καθώς και της σχέσης του με το μυκηναϊκό αντίστοιχό του.
