In this panel, the hero Theseus is about to kill the Minotaur, seizing the bull-headed monster by the arm as he readies his sword. The youths standing at either side are presumably those that Theseus accompanied to Crete, having been demanded by King Minos as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. On the other side of the vase, Zeus is seated between the Eileithyiai, goddesses who have come\n\n\tto assist with the birth of Athena from the head of Zeus. Scholars often identify anonymous Greek potters by naming them for the location of a key work that was attributed to them; the Princeton Painter was named for another amphora in the Museum’s collection.\n
