Dolon Painter. The vase painter Dolon is an anonymous Greek, one of the first and most accomplished Lucanian painters.
He also worked in Metapont in the first quarter of the 4th century BC. His work is held by the British Museum, the National Archaeological Museum in Naples and the Cabinet of Medals in Paris. Researchers believe that Dolon's style of vase painter was influenced by his contemporary, the Tarporli vase painter.
The master's personal vase is the Lucanian crater, a kilix on which on the A side depicts Odysseus and Diomedes in Dolon's ambush. On side B, two women offer wreaths to two young men.
Found in Pisticci, it is now in the British Museum, London. Other notable works include a crater from Nola Hermes haunts Gersu, Louvre, Paris; a kilix-crater Judgment of Paris, now in the Cabinet of Medals, Paris; a kilix-crater with a scene Odysseus and Tiresias in the kingdom of the dead, on the left Eurylochus, Cabinet of medals, Paris; a bell-shaped crater, Gifts of Medea Creusa, from Apulea, Louvre, Paris; Nestoris, The Death of Actaeon, from Basilicata, British Museum, London.
