The Elpinikos Painter is an Athenian red-figure cup painter active in the early 5th c. BCE. The name derives from the inscription
“Elpinikos kalos” (“Elpinikos is beautiful”) on several examples. Subjects include Menelaus and Helen, the symposion, and
youths. Findspots are sites in Etruria (Orvieto, Vulci, Cerveteri).
