The main scope of this paper is to describe the lekythoi from the point of workshop, painter and dating. Ereğli Museum lekythoi are studied according to their body and ornaments in three groups. These are: cylinder lekythos with apobates scene (no. 1) and palmette chain ornamented (no. 2) and a squat lekythos with net pattern (no. 3). The figured lekythos which considered in Type II secondary shape group is in silhouette, evokes Haimonean Group. The palmetted lekythos belong to the Class of Athens 581. All of the material attract notice with their poor quality style features and careless ornaments. The Ereğli lekythoi are dated back to the begining of the 6th century B.C. to the third half of the 4th century B.C. in terms of their stylistic features.

This article re-evaluates the use and significance of funerary lekythoi in fifth-century Athens by considering in the first instance vases found in Athenian burial contexts. From the contextualized material it is clear that black-figure lekythoi remain prominent in Athenian burial practice through the first half of the fifth century. Their use then declines but does not wholly cease until the end of the century. Hastily-painted late black-figure lekythoi are by far the most common type of vase in Athenian burials throughout the fifth century and are found in simple burials and well-furnished tombs alike. The black-figure technique carried a meaning in itself, the importance of which outweighed other factors for the users of these vases.

The theme of catasterism, while little represented in ancient Greek vase painting, deserves additional study from an iconographic standpoint. Using the clues provided by the largest text relaying the Krotos myth, in Pseudo-Eratosthenes’ Katasterismoi, we have demonstrated that more work needs to be done in searching for paradigmatic features of more obscure Greek mythological figures, even when they dwell among the stars. Krotos is an excellent example of the types of recovery work that can be done, such work may dispel some of the obscurity into which these figures have fallen.

Five previously unpublished fourth-third century BC black figured Pagenstecher lekythoi are the catalyst for this iconological interpretation of the purpose and decoration of these enigmatic little oil vessels. Two are in the Nicholson Museum in Sydney and three in the Ure Museum in Reading (Figures 1-5; for their details see Appendix 1 ) . All five are decorated with birds of various types and sizes. This paper discusses the prevalence of birds on Pagenstecher lekythoi and looks to identify them. In so doing, it looks at the problems associated with traditional iconographic approaches to such identifications. It then argues for a connection between the birds on Pagenstecher lekythoi and Aphrodite. Finally, it proposes a link between the goddess and the iconography of the lekythoi in general, as well as with their suggested contents and purpose.
