The Phanyllis Group is a group of Athenian black-figure painters active at the end of the 6th c. BCE. The name derives from an inscribed lekythos dedicated on Delos to Hera “from Phanyllis” (Delos, Archaeological Museum 548; BAPD 30103) showing Dionysos. Associated with the group are the Group of the Arming Lekythoi and the Group of Hoplite-Leaving-Home. Primarily painters of the lekythos, other shapes connected to the group are the hydria and cups. Scenes are warriors, youths, athletes, Theseus, Herakles, and Dionysos. Findspots are Sicily, sites in Greece (Athens, Corinth, Perachora, Thasos, Rhodes), Adria (Adriatic coast of Italy), Olbia (Black Sea), and Pitane (modern Turkey).
