Excavations in Ithaca, V The Geometric and Later Finds from Aetos

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

The circumstances of the discovery of the vases and objects described below by Mr. Robertson were, briefly, as follows:—

1931. In trial pits dug in 1931 (Figs. 2, 4, 6) the foundations of a rough wall (6) resting on virgin soil were found, to the north of which sub-Mycenaean and Protogeometric sherds associated with stones and calcined earth appeared. South of this wall appeared two layers of dark earth, of which the lower (8a) rested on virgin soil and was about 0·5 m. thick. The upper (8b) was only a few cm. thick, and was separated from the lower by a kind of stone platform, above which was a layer of more or less sterile earth (Fig. 6). Both the upper and the lower dark-earth layers were thickly packed with sherds, all post-Protogeometric. The lower layer continued below a wall (7) the foundations of which rested in it, and below a second wall (11) the foundations of which were sunk in the upper dark-earth layer.

I owe thanks to Mr. Heurtley for inviting me to study this material, and for information about the excavation which was invaluable to me, as I was not myself present. I also have to thank him for a few of the photographs reproduced here.

The preponderance of imports from Corinth and the domination of the local style by Corinthian influence mean that I am primarily indebted to the works of Johansen and Payne. I also learnt much more than I can acknowledge from personal contact with Payne. He did not see the majority of the Ithacn material, but I showed him the photographs and drawings of my first year's work on it, and profited by his comments and suggestions. Where I remember that I owe a, particular idea to him I say so, but that bears little relation to my debt, which extends far beyond the material for this particular study. I was also present with him on the first year of his excavations at Perachora, and had his permission to examine the finds of that and the later years, which was very useful to me. To Miss Benton, who was in charge of the excavation of the cave at Polis in the North of Ithaca, I owe thanks for showing me the material of that excavation and for help with photography and section drawing, besides many valuable discussions. I have also shown some of my photographs to Prof. Wace, Prof. Beazley, Prof. Jacobsthal, Dr. Kunze and others, and have learnt from all. Where I am indebted elsewhere to published works or private suggestions, I have, I hope, acknowledged it in the text.

I have to thank the Council of Trinity College, Cambridge, for a most generous grant from the Rouse Ball Research Fund, without which it would have been impossible to illustrate this article adequately.

Hom. ad. loc., who substitutes him for Iobatas as Bellerophon's father-in-law; cf. Schol. Townl. ad. Il. vi, 170, πενθερῷ· Ἰοβάτῃ ἢ Ἀμισοδώρῳ). According to Plutarch (De Mul. Virt. 9), he was called Isaras by the Lycians, and came from the Lycian colony of Zeleia, with a pirate fleet under the command one Chimarros, who sailed in a ship with a lion carved on the prow and a snake on the stern, and more in the same strain. There are other euhemeristic accounts of Amisodaros, e.g., in Palaiphatos (περὶ άπίστων XXVIII [XXIX]), who says that he lived on a volcano near the river Xanthos and the forest of Telmissis. In the Iliad (l.c.) his sons Atymnios and Maris are described as coming with Sarpedon to Troy, where they were killed by the sons of Nestor.

page 81 note 1 Cf. the late Protocorinthian vase 213.

page 81 note 2 Cf. the kantharos on a Samian kantharos (AM lviii Beil. XXIX, i. An amphora from Thera, on the other hand, shows a picture of an oinochoe or aryballos (AM xxviii Beil. V, 2), as does a Lakonian stand (BSA xxxiv, 118, pl. 25 f); an oinochoe from the Agora at Athens one of a storage amphora (Hesperia vii, 417 fig. 5, with remarks by R. S. Young); and a pyxis-lid from Perachora a row of conical oinochoai (Perachora i, pl. 26. 1).
