Athens to Naukratis

Naukratis is considered to be a Greek emporium that developed in the sixth century BC in the
Western Delta of Egypt. It has produced an abundant amount of early archaic Black-Figured
pottery from Attica, in addition to numerous other types of East Greek Wares. In conducting
research on another topic, I had the opportunity to read Sian Lewis book, The Athenian Woman,
1

which discusses the iconography of women on export vases to Etruria. By looking at the images
of entire vessels, their provenance and actual contextual find-spot, she has determined to provide
balance between art history and archaeology. She established that depictions on vases for export
markets were different than images retained in Athens with regards to the iconography of women.
It is with this in mind that I decided to do a preliminary examination of the types of images
represented on Attic Black-Figured pottery found in Naukratis.
Unfortunately the number of complete vessels of painted Attic Black-Figured ware from
Naukratis is extremely limited, and therefore the aim of this investigation is only to determine
what kinds of images were favoured in Naukratis during the sixth century BC. I have not limited
my examination to scenes of women due to the small percentage of images found in Naukratis
that contain women,
2
but have chosen to review all the iconography represented. With the
commencement of research, I realized that the sherds are widely spread throughout different
museums of the world. I thought to limit my research to a manageable figure of approximately
250 samples.

I gathered images mainly from the CVAs
4
published by different museums until I
had roughly 250 samples.

portion of the sherds, but optimistically is representative of the entire corpus.

A table of the sherds examined, listed chronologically by shape, with accompanying
information on description of images, and collections, is provided in Appendix 1. From this I will
evaluate the forms of vessels and relationship to imagery to determine if there was a specific type
of iconography that was preferred by the people of Naukratis.
Historical Background

Amasis was partial to the Greeks, and among other favours which he granted them, gave to such
as liked to settle in Egypt the city of Naucratis for their residence. To those who only wished to
trade upon the coast, and did not want to fix their abode in the country, he granted certain lands
where they might set up altars and erect temples to the gods. Of these temples the grandest and
most famous, which is also the most frequented, is that called the Hellenium. It was built
conjointly by the Ionians, Dorians, and Aeolians, the following cities taking part in the work:- the
Ionian states of Chios, Teos, Phocaea, and Clazomenae; Rhodes, Cnidus, Halicarnassus, and
Phaselis of the Dorians; and Mytilene of the Aeolians. These are the states to whom the temple
belongs, and they have the right of appointing the governors of the factory; the other cities which
claim a share in the building, claim what in no sense belongs to them. Three nations, however,
consecrated for themselves separate temples- the Eginetans one to Jupiter (Zeus), the Samians to
Juno (Hera), and the Milesians to Apollo.
7

In ancient times there was no factory but Naucratis in the whole of Egypt; and if a person entered
one of the other mouths of the Nile, he was obliged to swear that he had not come there of his own
free will. Having so done, he was bound to sail in his ship to the Canobic mouth, or were that
impossible owing to contrary winds, he must take his wares by boat all round the Delta, and so
bring them to Naucratis, which had an exclusive privilege. It happened in the reign of Amasis that
the temple of Delphi had been accidentally burnt, and the Amphictyons had contracted to have it
rebuilt for three hundred talents, of which sum one-fourth was to be furnished by the Delphians.
Under these circumstances the Delphians went from city to city begging contributions, and among
their other wanderings came to Egypt and asked for help. From few other places did they obtain so
much- Amasis gave them a thousand talents of alum, and the Greek settlers twenty minae.

Herodotus aptly lays the ground, the ethnic background and the establishment of Greek Settlers
in Egypt around the 26
th
Dynasty, at the beginning of the sixth century BC.
8
These included not
only people from the mainland, but immigrants from all over the Greek realm, including many
from several of the islands. It is likely however, that the settlers came earlier,
9
and that Amasis
acknowledged them by containing them in a specific area, and allowing them to carry out trade
with other Mediterranean societies. Naukratis uniquely lies on the western main branch of the
Nile that leads from the Nile Valley to the sea (Fig. 1).

Excavations in the early 19
th
century were carried out by W.F. Petrie and E.A. Gardner
subsequently published by the Egyptian Exploration Society,
10
and D.G. Hogarth continued in
the early twentieth century.
11
Unfortunately early descriptions of the pottery make it difficult to
distinguish the different types of Greek vases found on the site. Later archaeological excavations
conducted by Coulson and Leonard from 1977-1983, produced more stratigraphical results, but
they could not reinvestigate the earlier trenches as the prior dig had resulted in the formation of a
lake in the centre of the site (Fig. 2).

8
Traditionally the dates for Amasis reign falls between 570-526 B.C. (Baines 1989: 37).
9
R.D. Sullivan (Coulson, 1996: Chapter 7) argues that it was most likely founded by Psametichus I (664-610 BC) as
a stratopedon (military camp), which accords with Strabos account (Strabo 17.1.8.801).

Chronology of Shapes
The earliest pottery found on the site was Laconian, Wild Goat, Chian, and Corinthian in
the mid-late 7
th
century BC (Fig. 3).

Followed soon thereafter with pottery from Attica. The earliest Attic sherds are represented by a
krater fragment now in the Royal Ontario Museum likely attributed to the Nettos Painter, c. 600
BC (Fig. 4),
12
and a fragment of a stand with opposing sphinxes and a palmette-lotus festoon
above (Fig. 5).
13

The majority of vessel fragments appear to come from the third and fourth quarters of the
sixth century (Appendix 2).
14
From the first quarter the vessel forms of dinoi, olpai, oinochoai,
lekanides, and kantharoi are prominent. Kraters form 20% of the corpus in the first quarter and
30% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, amphorae make up 26%, replacing the krater as
the most significant vessel type. Beginning in the third quarter and increasing into the last quarter
of the sixth century, cups begin to dominate. Little Master cups and other cups make up nearly

Hayes (1981) CVA 39.1 ROM 910x234.20 c. 600-580 BC; part of a large lotus-and-palmette chain with double
incised outlines, motifs face alternately up and down. Boardman (1999) Fig. 142 he dates c. 620-600 BC. Venit
(1984: 143, Fig. 4) calls this a fragment of a lekanis lid, and disagrees with Boardmans attribution to the Nettos
Painter, preferring the Gorgon Painter and painters working in his manner, with regards to the drawing of the calyx.
13
Venit (1984:141) Fig. 1 also refers to an olpe in the British Museum (B 102.3) from the Temenos of Apollo, with
an image of a sphinx, being similar to those by the Nettos Painter. This item was not included in my original listing
of sherds.
14
Srensen (2001) utilized data from CVA British Museum 8, Venit (1984 & 1988), and ABV, in her recent analysis
and her results showed the majority of vessel fragments from the second quarter (her tables pg. 160 & 161). Note
that Srensen includes only 160 Attic sherds, but also does not specify if Red-Figured sherds are included in her
tally, she only describes her work as archaic.

Donnelly 7
51% of all vessel sherds recovered from Naukratis in the fourth quarter.
15
One has to keep in
mind that the context of most of these vessels (as far as can be determined by the early reports of
the archaeologists) comes from sanctuaries,
16
and therefore the types of vessels found may
represent only a portion of the actual types utilized by the citizens of Naukratis.
17
This may also
imply that Attic ware was only used in relation to the sanctuaries, either for ceremonies or
dedications.
18

Iconography
With respect to the iconography represented on the Black-Figured pottery from Attica,
one finds that there is a limited type of illustration found at Naukratis. The dominant theme
appears to be pictures of warfare, this includes chariots, horse and rider scenes, and pictures of
warriors, most often occurring on kraters, amphorae, and cups (Appendix 3). The relationship of
the occurrence of each type of image is graphically represented in Appendix 4, which shows a
clear pattern distinguishing the most frequently depicted type of figure. Perhaps this accords with
the idea that the site was originally settled by Greek mercenaries (note 9 above).
Panthers and lions are also commonly shown, either alone, or as part of an animal frieze.
They occur frequently on kraters, lekanides, and on three out of the four oinochoe analyzed.
Birds, sirens and sphinxes are quite numerous, but animals, whether mythological or real, are
often included as parts of friezes or as filler.

15
Srensen (2001: 154) states that only four Attic cups belonging to the late 6
th
century have been recorded from
Naukratis, but more pottery reached Egypt already by the early 5
th
century. This is do in part to her sample, most of
the cups from the fourth quarter come from Heidelberg and Fitzwilliam Museums (see App. 1), that she has not
included in her analysis.
16

17
Later excavations have not reached the same levels, having revealed mostly Greco-Roman remains.

Gill (1986) discusses some of these dedications; Beazley (1950) Fig. 1.

Donnelly 8
With respect to divinities, Athena is shown the most often of the gods,
19
despite the fact
that a temple in her honour is not known at Naucratis.
20
However, if one includes the depictions
of Dionysus, along with maenads, satyrs and ivy, there is a clear preference for this deity
(Appendix 6).
21
Hermes and Achilles were depicted early on, with Dionysus and Athena in the
later part of the century. Herakles appears throughout the sixth century. It is not surprising to find
the portrayal of heroic figures, which seem appropriate based on the evidence of such a particular
preference for warrior depictions
As mentioned previously, most of the fragments with known provenience come from the
sanctuaries at Naukratis. Venit (1984: 154) seems to believe that Attic pottery was preferred at
Naukratis based on its superior quality, and where it only competed with East Greek wares rather
than competing in the west with Corinthian exports. However, the imagery on the vessels at
Naukratis implies that the objects were specifically chosen based on need and preference. It
seems unlikely that these objects were purchased just out of availability as the themes seem very
connected. This need base seems to be an implied association with the heritage of the people,
selecting images that are particularly Greek versus more Egyptian in style, and which would have
been readily available through local sources.
No analysis would be complete without mentioning the whole vessels of Attic Black-
Figure found at Naukratis. Complete vessels of Attic type are rare, and the three that incorporate
into my data are an olpe depicting a ram, of the early sixth century, a dinos attributed to
Sophilos,
22
and a Little Master cup that shows Odysseus escaping Polyphemos.
23

19
Six probable scenes of Athena occur within this corpus.
20
See the quote by Herodotus and note 6 above.
21
At least twenty images occur, more than three times that of Athena.

The olpe (Fig. 6) is dated from the late seventh to early sixth century BC by Beazley and
Payne (1929: 254). The dinos (Fig. 7) is much more prolifically published due to its attribution to
Sophilos.
24
It depicts two friezes of animals
25
with a single image of Hermes (attributed by the
caduceus he is carrying). Beazley and Payne (1929: 256) state that it is not unusual to find
Hermes amongst these images of real and mythical creatures, as he is a traveller and mediator

(who) links the world of monsters to the world of man and civilisation. This shows a connection
between the animal themes and the gods, so frequent at Naukratis.

Williams (1983: 34) had noted that Beazley had wondered if a fragment from Reading
belonged to this dinos, but he never seemed to verify it. Williams followed up, and with the help
of Jane Gardner of the Ure Museum, arranged to have the fragment temporarily inserted, and a
new photograph taken (Fig. 8). The fragment provides the left side of the floral arrangement in
the upper frieze and one of the confronting sirens of the lower frieze.

Conclusion
From all this evidence it would appear that the soldier was a very important part of the
city of Naukratis. It seems likely that the city was originally settled by Greek mercenaries and
that their presence continued throughout the sixth century BC. The East Greek population that
certainly made up a good proportion of the city, based on literary evidence, may also reason with
the number of vessels portraying mythological and real animals, a favourite in East Greek pottery
as well. There appears to have been a cult for Athena, perhaps associated with the Hellenion, and
a certain preference for the god Dionysus during the latter half of the sixth century BC.
Whether this accords with other materials from the site, or even with the entire corpus of
Attic BF pottery can only be dealt with on a larger scale. This preliminary analysis seems to point
to a different scenario than the purely economically based, trade emporium that has been the
definition of the site to date. Even evidence from the smallest sherds has provided an interesting
Fig. 8

Donnelly 12
glimpse into the past, perhaps something that should be done more often, despite the fact that
very few whole vessels have been found. It would however, be a tremendous undertaking to
analyze all the data from Naukratis due to its spread of material throughout private and museum
collections throughout the world, and that the depth of material on the site is difficult to reach by
excavation.
