Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.046.

Danae (face) and Perseus (wreathed head) to right. Relief contour. White: wreath. Dilute glaze: hair of child.

During his visit to the Agora in the summer of 1953, Beazley suggested that the subject is Danae and Perseus. For this theme, see LIMC III, 1986, pp. 331--334 and 336--337, s.v. Danae (J.-J. Maffre). From what remains on 324, one cannot tell if this is the departure from the Argolid or the landing at Seriphos. It is probably the departure, which is much more frequently depicted than the landing. What remains on 324 is similar to the fragment by the Phiale Painter, Oxford 1917.62 (ARV2 1018, 75; Addenda 315; Oakley, Phiale Painter, p. 78, cat. no. 75, pl. 57:d).

Group of Polygnotos [Beazley during the same visit]: not in ARV2.
