Summary

Description
English:

The iconography of the krater is devoted to Dionysus, whose youthful image—naked—is central, like an icon, and larger than any other figure in the frieze. The gesture of his right arm over his head—when used in the representation of a deity—indicates the moment of divine epiphany. But this is also a marriage. In a rare and provocative gesture, the god’s right leg is slung into the lap of his bride Ariadne, a mortal woman, not a goddess.
