Synopsis
While many scholars analyze ancient Greek vase painting solely in terms of its imagery and possible meanings, Hoffman combines art historical analysis with an anthropological element. He thus explains the iconography with an eye toward the religious and philosophical elements of Greek society. This study concentrates on the mythological vessels of the fifth-century B.C. master, Sotades.

Industry Reviews
"There is much food for thought in this book. Hoffmann evidently knows the relevant material as well as anyone alive, and he has chosen a splendid subject: Sotades' work is engaging yet elusive, and the RHYTON [a drinking vessel with protruding animal shapes], by its form and through its painted imagery, marvellously embodies and explores that much-vaunted quality, Otherness."
