The pyre is approximately contemporary with the renovation of the house that initiated phase 3 in the first half of the 4th c., so it could be associated with that event.

http://agathe.gr/overview/the_altar_of_zeus_and_statue_of_hadrian.html The Altar of Zeus The Agora Excavations began with the aim of revealing the monuments and history of the ancient Agora.

On July 23, 1931, the excavator filled five pages of his notebook describing a significant discovery of the first excavation season: "A large structure once covered a large part of [the] area, it was almost certainly an Altar." ...

Max ... Ca. 480 B.C ... But there are objections to this. First of all, the thickness of the wall between the shield fragment and the two Achilleus fragments differs by one to two millimeters, a difference that does not seem much in print but is important if one considers that the thickness of the wall of a well-potted calyx-krater, like this one, is usually consistent horizontally, although it may vary considerably from top to bottom. ... The woman on P 19582 i cannot hold the spear because, if she did, part of the shaft would appear in front of her, and here there is only black glaze (as already noted by Ashmead, Hesperia 35, 1966, p. 29).
... This interpretation is not without problems. First of all, it would be more compelling if we could include in this composition P 18278 a, the fragment with the shield, but for the reasons given above, this does not seem possible. |
