Definitions

en
Psiax is an Athenian black-figure painter active ca. 525-500 BCE. The painter also works in the red-figure technique (see Psiax [red-figure]) and sometimes paints on white-ground. Formerly known as the Menon Painter, the name Psiax appears alone on black-figure examples, and as painter ("egrapsen") on some red-figure vases. Shapes include the kyathos, amphora, hydria, plates, and the alabastron. Scenes derive from both stock (youths, warriors, women dancing) and myth (Herakles, Dionysos, Amazons). Findspots are sites in Etruria, Xanthos (Turkey), Sicily, and Greece.
