The Timiades Painter is an Athenian black-figure painter of the Tyrrhenian Group active ca. 565-550 BCE and prolific painter
of the ovoid neck amphora. The name derives from an amphora discovered in Vulci (Boston 98.916; BAPD 310045) showing a Greek
warrior, whose name is inscribed “Timiades,” fighting Amazons. Scenes include male revelers ("komasts"), satyrs, erotic scenes,
Trojan War, and Herakles/Amazons. Findspots include Etruria, Clazomenae, and Tharros (Sardinia).
The Tithonos Painter is an Athenian red-figure painter active ca. 500-480 BCE. The name derives from a neck amphora from Suessula
(Boston, Museum of Fine Arts 03.816; BAPD 203171) showing Eos and Tithonos. Other shapes are the lekythos and stamnos. Subjects
include Dionysos and followers, revelers (“komasts”), warriors, religion, and athletes. Findspots are Eretria, Kydonia (Crete),
Adria, Vulci, Nola, Gela, and Syracuse.
Tleson (active around 555-535 BCE) was an Athenian potter and perhaps also a vase painter in the black-figure style. He was
the son of the famous potter Nearchos and brother of Ergoteles. His workshop apparently produced mostly Little-master cups.
The Tleson Painter is an Athenian black-figure painter of Little Master cups active from ca. 555 to 535 BCE. The name derives
from vases signed by the potter “Tleson, son of Nearchos” (“Tleson ho Nearcho epoiesen”), and it is possible that painter
and potter are one in the same. Decorated shapes are band-cups and lip-cups, and subjects include animals, Herakles, and Theseus.
Findspots are in Vulci and elsewhere in Italy, Sicily, Berezan, Naukratis, and the Athenian Acropolis.
The Triptolemos Painter is an Athenian red-figure painter (and perhaps potter) active ca. 480-470 BCE. The name derives from

are kraters, the stamnos, amphora, oinochoe, pelike, hydria, alabastron, skyphos, and cup (kylix). Subjects include athletes,
warriors, revelers (“komasts”), the symposion, erotic scenes, religion, Dionysos and followers, musicians, Herakles, and Theseus.

Acropolis), Rheneia (Delos), and Berezan.

stamnos, pelike, calyx krater, hydria, and lekythos. Subjects include the Struggle for the Delphic Tripod, gods and goddesses,

The Tyszkiewicz Painter is an Athenian red-figure painter active ca. 490-470 BCE. The name derives from a calyx krater from
Vulci formerly in the Tyszkiewicz Collection (Boston, Museum of Fine Arts 97.368; BAPD 202631) showing Achilles and Memnon
on one side and Diomedes and Aeneas on the other. Shapes are kraters in different forms, the amphora in different forms, the
