Fragment of a black-figure amphora
Group E (Greifenhagen)

Zeus is seated on a folding stool. He is represented with head and legs in profile to the right. Seated, he is almost as tall as the surrounding standing figures. The right forearm is extended almost horizontally forward, the hand with extended fingers seen on the back. The god presumably has a pointed beard. He wears his long hair loose, with a headband. His dress consists of a chiton, and probably a himation.

Athena is represented standing on the lap of Zeus, head and legs in profile to the right, the body facing. Her dress probably consists of a peplos. The goddess wears a helmet and carries a shield on the left arm, the right arm raised with clenched fist.

There have been two deities at each side of the picture. At the right stand a goddess, the right arm extended obliquely upward, with palm turned outward and extended fingers, the left forearm etended horizontally forward, the hand with extended fingers seen on the back, and Apollo, identified by the zither. At the left side a goddess has been, the right arm extended, the hand with extended fingers seen on the back, and put on the head of Zeus, and Ares, identified by the helmet.
