This Greek Athenian pottery has a total height of 39.8 centimeters and a diameter of 29 centimeters. It was purchased by the Andrew R. and Martha Holden Jennings Foundation in 1970. On the front of the wine jar, there is a scene of one of Greece's greatest heroes, Hercules, fighting against the Nemea lion, wearing lion skin as a protective trophy. Athena, the goddess of protection of Hercules, stood aside with her nephew Ioraos (holding a hero's stick). On the other hand, a scene unrelated to the former is presented, depicting the wine god Dionysus and the dancing goddess of fanaticism and the goat god.
