Abstract
"The subject of Homeric illustration, although already treated by scholars in some detail, is always enhanced by the addition of new evidence. Here we present an unpublished example -- a Hellenistic terracotta relief bowl in the Museum of Art and Archaeology of the University of Missouri. The bowl is generally similar to the so-called "Homeric" bowls, but it is of special interest for two reasons. First, it is very likely of East Greek origin, while most of the Homeric bowls are thought to be products of mainland workshops. Second, it bears a representation of a subject which does not appear on any other Homeric bowl or fragment."--First paragraphs.
