The Attic Pan Painter (c.480–c.450 B.C.) earned his name from a krater (mixing bowl, used for wine and water) on which Pan pursues a shepherd. This photo shows a section from the
Pan Painter's psykter (vase for cooling wine) showing the right part of the main scene of the rape of Marpessa, with Zeus, Marpessa, and Idas visible. The pottery is at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich, Germany.
