Abstract

Two tripod kothons are added to the Boeotian black-figure vases assembled by Sir John D. Beazley under the name "Boeotian Dancers Group." Within the Group, four painters, including one discerned by Beazley, are distinguished and attributed their respective vases. The stylistic peculiarities of each are noted and contrasted with those of his companions. On the basis of internal and external evidence, the vases in the Group are dated to the second quarter of the sixth century B. C. In this process, the influence of Attic vase painters on Group members is acknowledged. Finally, an attempt is made to locate the production center of the Boeotian Dancers Group in or near Tanagra. Supportive evidence includes proveniences and subject matter (i.e. Triton and Dionysus) of the vases as well as the Group's association with a local terracotta industry.
