The American School of Classical Studies at Athens released
their 2012-2013 Annual Report last month and it can be found here. While normally I would
prefer looking through the excavation reports, for now I must be content with
this. Page 8 shows an interesting find depicting an armed Greek warrior.
A small lekythos was excavated and it seems to depict an unusual scene – an apobates which is an event at the Panathenaic games where
an armed competitor jumps on and off a moving chariot. The scene shows a chariot with charioteer
and a hoplite alongside. A nice vivid,
nearly complete image.
