Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Salmoneus wielding a sword and a thunderbolt-like thingy. He just broke the chains that contained him, the madman, and acts like Zeus. To his left is Iris, to the right his astonished wife.

Attic red-figure column crater, first half of the 5th century BC. Now in the Chicago, Art Institute 1889.16.

This painting was first published by Ernest Arthur Gardner (1899) and attributed as Athamas in madness. In 1903 Carl Robert corrected this interpretation to Salmoneus.
Français : Dessin reproduisant une scène peinte sur un cratère à colonnes et à figures rouges attique de la première moitié du Ve siècle avant J.-C. Salmoneus brandit une épée et un objet imitant le foudre (l'arme qui sert à Zeus à lancer la foudre). Il vient de briser les chaînes qui le retenaient et il se prend pour Zeus. A sa gauche se trouve Iris, déesse messagère des dieux chez Homère, et à sa droite se trouve sa femme étonnée. Vase conservé au Chicago Art Institute (Etats-Unis), 1889.16. Le dessin est d'Ernest Arthur Gardner, qui avait identifié par erreur la scène comme "La folie d'Athamas" dans l'articel qu'il publia pour décrire le vase avec cette illustration en 1899 dans l'American Journal of Archaeology. En 1903, Carl Robert corrigea l'interprétation en identifiant Salmoneus.
