Αμασις μεποιεσεν
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2013
Extract
Amasis is one of the celebrated names of Attic pottery in the mid sixth century B.C. He signed only as ‘maker’. Stylistic study has shown that the signed vases were painted by a single painter, who also painted other vases that are not signed: he is conventionally named the Amasis painter.

1 Two sixth century Greeks named Psammetichus are the nephew of Periander of Corinth, and the son of Theocles who commanded the foreigners in the Egyptian expedition that reached Abu Simbel in 591–89.
2 It is not certain but likely that this is our Amasis, since the name is not common and the occupation agrees.
