(jazz music) Dr. Zucker: We're in the Etruscan Museum in the Vatican Museums in Rome and we're looking at my favorite pot in the entire world.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: The thing that makes it so fabulous is we have these two heroes and we have a very simple image, but it's giving us so much information.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Harris: The heroes are Achilles on the left and Ajax on the right, two of the great Greek heroes featured in Homer's Iliad and Exekias, the potter, who signed only two pots as the potter and the painter, has identified these two figures by including their names above them, 발음듣기
대기중
but he's also telling us what's happening between the two. Achilles on the left is saying the word "four".발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: They're on the battlefield of Troy, but Exekias has given us even more information than this, not simply the rolls of the dice, but in a larger sense, their fate.발음듣기
대기중
Look at the way, for example, that both figures are hunched over and clearly focused on the game at hand.발음듣기
대기중
At the bottom, you can see from the lines, they're not as parallel, but look at the figure on the right, Ajax, whose spears are held in a more parallel way, so that we know that he's actually clenching with his fist, he's tense.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: That's right. If you look at the brow really closely, you can see that Achilles has a single incised line to represent his eyebrow, but Ajax has a double line and it is a subtle clue that perhaps there's a little bit of tension there.발음듣기
대기중
One other detail that can be easily seen, although it's really subtle, look at the feet of both figures.발음듣기
대기중
Achilles, again, is relaxed. His heel is on the ground line, but Ajax, his heel is picked up ever so slightly, so you can see just a little bit of light underneath it, which means his calf is engaged, those muscles are tense, his body is tense.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: Anybody who was looking at this pot in the ancient world would have known the story of Ajax and Achilles that Homer tells, as you said, in the Iliad.발음듣기
대기중
Achilles is a great hero. In fact, as a child, his mother dipped him in the river Styx, which had the magical quality of making him invincible.발음듣기
대기중
It's just that she held him by his heel, so his heel was not protected and ultimately, he would be killed by an arrow that hits him there.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Harris: Hence the term that we use often of someone's Achilles heel, that is their vulnerable spot.발음듣기
대기중
He will outlive Achilles, he will carry his great friend off the battlefield, but ultimately, he'll be in a battle for Achilles' armor.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Harris: Achilles had very special armor, which had been made by the god Hephaestus, the god of the forge.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: Two people would want that armor and they would both give speeches to convince judges as to who should get the armor, but Ajax, although he was much closer to Achilles, would lose the contest, have a bad moment where he slayed a bunch of Greeks, and ultimately, would kill himself on his own sword.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Harris: It's really interesting to think about this as an ancient Greek viewer who knows that whole story and what will unfold for both of these heroes, but the story is one thing and the way that Exekias, the potter, has represented this moment and these two figures with so much nobility, with such fine detail in the shape of a vase, which is so elegant, is something else.발음듣기
대기중
The Greeks didn't have the technology to get kilns, ovens hot enough to vitrify, that is to create true glazes, the way ceramics do now.발음듣기
대기중
What they would do instead is they would take very fine particles of clay, suspend them in water, and use those as a kind of paint.발음듣기
대기중
Depending the amount of oxygen that they allowed into a kiln, they could turn it black or red.발음듣기
대기중
That is, they would take a very smooth surface, imagine the back of a spoon, and they would rub it back and forth so you get this surface that is really glossy and it almost looks like glaze.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Harris: When I look closely at the decorative borders on the handles or the decorative border just above the (unintelligible) of figures, I can see beautiful detail and almost three dimensional form of the slip is almost raised in areas, so it catches the light.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: The Greeks did often use a syringe to paint the finest lines onto the surface, so one could imagine, almost, decorating a cake.발음듣기
대기중
You have a kind of syringe and you have the icing and it leaves a kind of bead that is raised against the surface and at a much finer level, that's what we're seeing here.발음듣기
대기중
His pots stand out in so many ways in their shape, in the painting, in the detail, in the drama that he was able to convey.발음듣기
대기중
Dr. Zucker: Certainly the Etruscans thought that was the case, because they must have spent a good deal of money importing this pot from Greece, across the Mediterranean, all the way to the Italian peninsula where they lived.발음듣기
