PREFACE
T HE THRUST of HesperiaS upplement 28 is twofold. The first unit of the tripartite
organization of this publication is 'Aftermath", a study by D. A. Amyx that updates
the work he did in CorinthV II, ii. In 1981 the focus of the Corinth excavations turned
to the Roman levels east of the Theater in Ancient Corinth and then in 1989 continued in
Frankish levels southeast of Temple E. Since 1980 nothing of significance for the study
of hands in Archaic Corinthian pottery that would need inclusion in 'Aftermath"h as been
recovered from the excavations. Thus 'Aftermath"a nd CorinthV II, ii together stand as a
full catalogue of and commentary on painters at present contained in the collection of
the Corinth Excavations.
The other two parts of Supplement 28 are the work of Patricia Lawrence. In "The
Chimaera Group at Corinth" she discusses that group and its importance by a close
examination of the material excavated at Corinth. "Dodwellians in the Potters' Quarter"
is a new examination of material that has been presented in CorinthX V, iii, together with
fifteen additional fragments. This third study attests to the facts that several Dodwellians
are present in the pottery excavated in the Potters' Quarter and that the Geladakis Painter
is richly represented along with the Dodwellians.
It is the pleasure of the present Field Director of the Corinth Excavations to acknowl-
edge the achievements of Professor Amyx, who has worked for so many years to define
the hands of so many Corinthian painters and to put them in an order that allows them
to be discussed by the world at large. It is as much a pleasure to congratulate Professor
Lawrence, a student of ProfessorA myx and a highly skilled scholar in her own right, on
the work that she has done to advance the precise defining of the Chimaera Group, the
Dodwellians, and the Geladakis Painter.
